Campus Day offers you the unique opportunity to experience campus as an admitted student. Join us for Campus Day to tour campus, learn more about what it means to be a Wolverine, and have your questions answered by current students, faculty, and staff before deciding to Go Blue!

The daylong event includes presentations on what makes U-M unique, an overview of housing and student life on campus, a tour of campus, lunch in a residence hall, sessions with your particular school or college, and optional sessions on financial aid and Michigan Learning Communities. Campus Day begins at 8 a.m. ET and concludes around 3-4 p.m. ET depending on your academic unit’s schedule.

Dual applicants: To sign up, you’ll need to pick which school or college session you'd like to attend for Campus Day. Log in to Enrollment Connect or, if already logged in, click App Details and select the application associated with the Campus Day event for the school or college you'd like to attend.
