Duke University Office of Undergraduate Admissions is offering a limited number of group tours.

Please review the Group Tour Policy below before requesting a visit. These are set in place to ensure the best possible visit for you and your students. 

• Group visits are only available to High Schools, Community Based Organizations, and Educational Non-Profits working with current high school students. 
• All group visits must include the supervision of an adult chaperone/teacher at all times. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful manner and not demonstrate disruptive behavior during the presentation. 
• Requests for group tours are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and may be restricted during peak visitation seasons. 
• During the 2023-2024 academic year, Group Tours are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only. Available tour times are 10:00 a.m. and 12 Noon. We do not offer visits on the weekend or on University/Federal Holidays. 
• Group tours are not available during semester finals, winter recess, or the months of March, April, May, and August 2024.
• To request a Group Tour, please fill out the Group Tour Request form. 
• If you have any questions, please call our office at 919-684-3214 or email undergrad-admissions@duke.edu 

After we receive your request, we will confirm whether or not we are able to accommodate your request. Please note that we cannot guarantee we will be able to accommodate all group requests. Your tour is not confirmed until you receive an email that includes the tour date, time, location, and directions. If confirmed, please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your confirmed event.

We do not offer meetings with admissions officers at this time. However, we invite you to register for our live virtual events, which include information sessions led by admissions officers, student chats, and more.

If you plan to visit campus on your own, download the Duke Admissions Tour app which is now available for IPHONE and ANDROID users. You may also stop by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to pick up a campus map from our outside information box. 

We welcome those we would have previously organized a group visit to campus to sign up for our virtual programming. If you are a community-based organization or college access program with questions about separate programming, please reach out to UNDERGRAD-ADMISSIONS@DUKE.EDU.

Discover Duke events are admissions information sessions that typically last about sixty minutes. Duke admissions officers will provide an overview of the various academic and signature opportunities available to our undergraduates and will share information about our application and financial aid processes.
