You'll find more detailed information below on your options to learn about UVic and all that we have to offer.

Visit us

The best way to see what our campus has to offer is to experience it for yourself by taking a campus tour.

Tours begin at 1pm Monday through Saturday. The Monday through Friday tours include an introductory presentation given by an admission officer. Your tour guide is a 3rd or 4th year UVic student with experience and knowledge about our campus. You'll meet us in front of the Sweet Greens cafe in the University Centre main lobby, unless otherwise instructed. The closest parking is available in Lot 2.

You'll see our University Centre, McKinnon Gym, bookstore, bus exchange, Student Union Building (SUB), a room in residence, the library, classrooms, and experience the beautiful scenery our campus has to offer.
