Daily Tour Program

We welcome you to visit UNCW for a group information session and tour. 
The schedule is as follows: Monday -Friday at 10am & 2pm.

When you arrive on campus follow the visitor parking/admissions signs.  The parking lot attendant will direct you to James Hall (campus map).

A walking tour, led by an enthusiastic UNCW student ambassador follows the presentation (please make sure you wear comfortable shoes!).  NOTE: UNCW policy prohibits tour groups from going inside the residence halls.  View photos, video, and floorplans of the various residence halls here.
