The Office of Admissions & Recruitment is excited to offer campus tours for groups of prospective high school and college transfer students. These tours are available to accommodate specialized groups like high school classes or clubs (among others) that may be too large for our regularly scheduled tours.
In order to ensure a pleasant and informative visit, please review the FAQs and guidelines below before requesting your tour. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us at (405) 325-2151 or tour@ou.edu.
We can't wait to welcome you to campus!
Due to the widespread nature of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the University of Oklahoma has limited campus tours to high school seniors, high school juniors, and transfer students. Virtual and limited in-person group tours will be offered in February, March, and April. Thank you for your continued patience during this time.
These guidelines apply to group tours for high school and transfer students. If you are a high school or transfer student interested in taking a general campus tour, click here.
Students should be dropped off at the Asp Ave Cul-de-sac (PDF map); busses should not drive on the Parrington Oval. Once students are dropped off busses should proceed on Jenkins and park at the Lloyd Noble Center. No parking pass is required to park at the Lloyd Noble Center.
In response to COVID-19, Campus Dining has made changes to its operations, procedures and policies to ensure all current health and safety guidelines are in place. Campus Dining is only accepting current student meal plans, and Group Tours visiting will not be permitted to eat within Campus Dining.
 We encourage you to check out other places in Norman to eat or bring your own lunches for a picnic on campus!

The University of Oklahoma has numerous campus locations and a variety of events that attract minors, which may be sponsored by the University or by third parties. These guidelines are meant to serve as guidance for these valuable experiences. Please note, these guidelines may not encompass each and every encounter with a minor and should be flexible depending on the circumstances and with the approval of either a supervisor in charge of the area or facility or the Office of Risk Management, in consultation with the Office of Legal Counsel. The safety of minors on campus is of utmost importance to the University and these guidelines have been approved in order to provide a safe, fun and productive educational environment.
