During this time, you will have the opportunity to connect with the academic college of your choice to learn more about engagement, classroom experiences, faculty, programs, career opportunities, and more within your specific area of interest!

Campus tours will last approximately 45-minutes and be offered throughout the day. Tours are led by current student tour guides who will show you a behind the scenes look at campus. 

All incoming first-year students are guaranteed an on-campus housing experience. Many on-campus residence halls will be open this day for you to walk through various living community options. You will get to take a closer look at what distinguishes each living option as well as see where community is built

Each student attendee will be able to register for a free ticket to eat lunch Couch Restaurants to use from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM. Each guest will be able to purchase a meal ticket as well. If you would like to eat on your own around campus or Norman, you are also welcome to do that.

To help with Couch Restaurants meal time capacity, upon registration you will select a time to each lunch. We ask that all guests honor this dining window. Guests can also opt to do lunch on their own at another location on or near campus.
