Visit UD

Prospective undergraduates are invited to sign up for a personalized visit on campus in person, or through our virtual offerings.

The University of Dallas offers several options to learn more about us. We have visits available for individual families every weekday and some weekends. We also offer limited options for high school students to attend as a group with their high school or church groups.

For visitors who are not prospective students, such as counselors and high school staff, please contact our office at admissions@udallas.edu.
