EXPLORE UNC GREENSBORO
The journey to finding the college that’s right for you often starts with a campus visit. At UNC Greensboro, our students tell us their campus tour was the moment they just knew this was the right university for them. UNCG takes pride in being a community where everyone finds their place, their home, their people – whether that’s joining one of more than 300 student groups, enjoying some friendly competition with intramural sports, participating in a leadership development program, or living out UNCG’s motto of Service.
We offer several opportunities for you to discover UNCG through weekly campus tours, fall and spring open houses for prospective students, spring visit days for admitted students, Latinx events, and a variety of virtual sessions.
CAMPUS TOURS
The best way to experience UNCG is to visit campus! In-person tours for Undergraduate Students are offered at 9:30 am and 1:00 pm each weekday and select Saturday’s throughout the year. You’ll have the opportunity to meet with an admissions counselor and hear from a current UNCG student to get your questions answered..
Tours with the Graduate School are also available by request. Graduate tours are designed to last anywhere between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on area of academic interest.
Campus EVENTS
UNC Greensboro hosts virtual and on-campus events throughout the year where first-year and transfer students can get more information about the admissions process and prepare for life as a Spartan. Browse some of our key events below – you can also visit our Events Page to see all upcoming events.
OPEN HOUSE
Experience all that UNCG has to offer in a full day of events! You’ll have the chance to explore our beautiful campus, speak with admissions counselors, learn about campus life, and discover just how many academic opportunities are available for all of our future Spartans.
Open Houses are offered twice in the fall and once in the spring. Registration for our Spring Open House is full at this time — check back for other visiting opportunities or schedule a tour!
TRANSFER INFORMATION PROGRAM
UNCG hosts multiple Transfer Information Program (TIP) events each year, and it’s the best way to learn about transferring successfully to UNCG. The event is hosted by Transfer Admissions Representatives and includes faculty and students from various schools, colleges, and departments. Along with Open House events, TIP is the most important event for Transfer Students when applying to UNCG.
The next Transfer Information Program will take place virtually Tuesday, April 4th, 2023 at 5:30 PM until 6:30 PM. Registration is required
ADMITTED SPARTANS DAYS
Congratulations on your acceptance to UNCG! Admitted Spartans Day is an opportunity for future Spartans and their families to spend a day on campus with many of your soon-to-be classmates. You will have the opportunity to tour campus, experience your academic area of interest with current faculty, hear from current students on what life is really like as a Spartan, and learn about our connections to the city of Greensboro.
Admitted Spartan Days will be on March 25th, 2023 and April 15th, 2023.
