WEATHER
Our tours take place rain or shine. We may provide an indoor visit experience whenever possible if there are weather-related advisories or warnings. We recommend that guests dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Campus and Visitor Relations has the discretion to decide if conditions are unsafe to proceed with an outdoor campus tour. Please note that if there is thunder or lightning within 10 miles of campus, University policy requires tour groups to shelter in place for 30 minutes.

Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to check-in. Please do not arrive late. We do not maintain a wait list for sessions at capacity.
VISIT CANCELLATION
We reserve the right to cancel events at any time for any reason without rescheduling. Failure to follow this agreement and safety protocols may also result in the cancellation of the visit.

For those attending a daily Admissions Information Session or a campus tour, Excused Absence Documentation can be requested at the Campus and Visitor Relations' Welcome and Information Desk when you check in.
We are unable to retroactively verify an excused absence if the student is not registered and marked as attending within Visit Bucky.
