Frequently Asked Questions
May I bring an extra guest to join the tour?
Yes, you may bring more than one guest.
Can I go inside buildings during the in-person tour?

Do you have a waitlist for In-person Campus Tours?
No, there's no waitlist for in-person tours at this time. You can check back on the tour registration page to see if any additional space has become available. Please note, registration closes 48 hours prior to a tour.
All in-person tours for the day I'm visiting are full; can I join a tour as a walk-in?
Unfortunately, we're not currently able to accommodate walk-in guests for the in-person tour. However, if you agree to follow Carnegie Mellon's COVID-19 visitor protocols, you're free to stop by the Coulter Welcome Center between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to ask questions, pick up more information about the university, explore the Welcome Center and grab a map to take a self-guided walk around campus.
Are the self-guided Outdoor Campus Walking Route and the In-Person Campus Tour the same?
No, they are two different tours. The Outdoor Campus Walking Route is a self-guided, all-outdoor option to explore our our campus. The Walking Route includes 25 stops with audio clips available for each stop; both a printed and digital version of the Walking Route map are also available.
The In-person Campus Tour is led by our Tartan Ambassadors, who'll share what it's like to be a student at Carnegie Mellon while leading guests around campus and through buildings. The Ambassadors will also highlight campus traditions, unique facilities, and more.
Why are there limited capacities on In-person Campus tours?
As the Welcome Center reopens to guests, we're offering in-person tours with limited capacity to ensure the health and safety of our campus community. Moving forward, we plan to increase tour capacities, provided conditions on campus and in the region indicate that it's safe to do so. We encourage you to take advantage of our virtual visit opportunities, which give you the chance to connect live with the Tartan Ambassadors.
Engage Online
While the campus tour offers an opportunity to see our campus, we encourage you to also register for our online visit offerings to engage more with current students and Carnegie Mellon staff.
