Information For Your Visit

Planning Your Visit

Starting June 15, 2020, the Office of Undergraduate Admission will be reopening for visits from prospective students and up to two of their guests. For the health and safety of our visitors and campus community, we have developed and implemented safety measures that practice social distancing guidelines. Prior to your visit we ask you to review the University's visitor policy. 

Please note that appointments are required for prospective student visits, and we will not be able to accommodate walk-in visitors.

If you register for a visit in advance but leading up to your visit begin to feel ill, develop a fever or notice symptoms of COVID-19, please call us at 972-721-5266 or email admissions@udallas.edu. We can reschedule your visit or set up a virtual meeting. For the safety of our campus community, it is imperative that each of us frequently monitor our own health.

We sincerely appreciate your flexibility during this time as we navigate how best to serve you and to keep the entire UD community safe. If you do not feel comfortable visiting campus at this time but are still interested in learning more about UD - we are here for you! We will continue to offer virtual counselor chats and virtual information sessions throughout the summer.
