March Break Drop-In Tours - March 13 to March 17
We are offering tours at both our north and downtown campus locations this March Break.

You'll be able to explore academic buildings—including our new Shawenjigewining Hall— student spaces, residence, places to eat and more! You'll also have the chance to talk to our Admissions staff (north campus location only) throughout the event.
If you're planning to visit our north campus location, members from our Indigenous Education and Cultural Services team will be available at Mukwa's Den on Friday, March 17 and are inviting indigenous students, their families, and everyone else you may want to learn more about our Indigenous Education and Cultural Services.

Are faculty-specific facilities (labs etc.) included in the tour?
Unfortunately, no. While we do our best to accommodate individual interests, campus tours are designed for prospective students looking at any of our programs. In addition, labs are not available for campus tours due to health and safety requirements and the scheduling of lab space for current students, faculty members, and researchers.
The best opportunity to tour faculty-specific facilities is at our Experience Weekend event. Please visit our Events page for more details. You can also check out our virtual tour to view faculty-specific facilities.
