College Tours

There's no better way to learn about DAAP than to visit and tour our award-winning facility. We welcome you to learn more about our facilities, programs, and the work of our students!

Tours are offered every Monday and Friday, 10:00 AM Eastern Time, during the Fall quarter beginning September 28 and continuing through December 4. Our tours are typically led by students who are currently enrolled in DAAP and provide ample opportunities to get the student perspective on DAAP.

In information sessions, prospective students and parents learn more about specific majors. These sessions are led by staff or faculty members from each School.

Those wishing to attend a tour and/or an information session must make an appointment online at the Admissions web page. Please keep in mind that the only information session that occurs on Monday is for the Architecture program. The full information session schedule can be found below.

In addition, tours can be arranged for larger groups such as high school classes, teachers, organizations, or businesses. For larger groups who cannot travel to DAAP, a video iChat can be arranged. If you have a group that would like to tour our facilities or to schedule an iChat, please contact the Assistant Director for Student Affairs, Vanessa Strickley, at vanessa.strickley@uc.edu or 513.556.3920.

Directions

Tours assemble in the Student Affairs Office, Room 5470, on the 5000 level of the DAAP Complex. Parking is available for a fee in the Clifton Court Garage -- enter campus from Clifton Avenue at Clifton Court, taking this road until it ends at the Clifton Court Garage ticket booth. There is a fee for parking in the garage. As you enter the garage, you will immediately see a tunnel entrance to the building. If you park on this level (Level 2), walk through the tunnel until you see an elevator to the right of the stairs (from the street level - Level 3 - the elevator is on your right just before you enter the building). Use the elevator to come up to Level 4. Turn right and enter the building. Follow the Grand Staircase up to the Student Affairs Office, room 5470.

View the West Campus Map for specific directions.

If you plan to take the UC daily campus tour, the Office of Admissions will validate your parking ticket by giving you a parking pass. The College of DAAP does not validate parking.
