Maryland UpClose - Information Session/Campus Walking Tour

The Maryland UpClose begins with a 45-minute information session and question and answer period conducted by an admission representative. Immediately following the presentation is a 90-minute walking tour of the campus led by a Maryland Images student ambassador.

Walking tours of the campus generally include classroom buildings, a residence hall room, a dining hall, the library, athletic facilities, performing arts facilities and the student union. UpClose sessions are offered for both high school students (freshmen) and transfer students, and parents are invited to attend. 

These sessions are popular, so reservations are required.  You may check available dates and times and register on-line below or call 1-800-422-5867. Maryland UpClose will begin in the Visitor Center.

Terrapin Tours - Campus Walking Tour

The University of Maryland also offers 90-minute walking tours of the campus, without the information session, led by a Maryland Images student ambassador. Walking tours of the campus generally include classroom buildings, a residence hall room, a dining hall, the library, athletic facilities, performing arts facilities and the student union.

No reservations are required for campus walking tours. Weekday campus tours leave from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in the Mitchell Building.  We encourage you to arrive 20 minutes early for "Take a Look," a video presentation about the University of Maryland community.
