UCalgary Open House!

The University of Calgary will be hosting its annual Open House event in-person on Saturday, October 22, 2022 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (MDT). We are super excited to show you everything that UCalgary has to offer, and why UCalgary is the right choice for you!

This event is your chance to connect and chat with over 40 different faculties and services, to explore our programs, and gain valuable insight into university life and the UCalgary campus experience through campus tours and discovery sessions.

Our Open House event will be split into four main components:

1. Exhibit fair

Our exhibit fair will consist of over 40 booths including faculties, programs, and support services. These exhibitors will be split into two different gyms in the Kinesiology Complex on our main campus. You can find all our faculty exhibitors in the Jack Simpson Gym and our student services and student experience exhibitors in the Gold Gym.

If you have specific questions regarding program admission requirements, be sure to check out the Admissions Hub located in the Red Gym. There will be an ongoing application workshop happening in the Red Gym for you to apply on campus with the help of our Admission and Recruitment team!

2. Discovery sessions

Our discovery sessions are presentations that will dive deeper into a specific topic, faculty, or service area to provide answers to any questions you may have! Join a discovery session to explore sample lectures or information sessions of 30 to 45 minutes.

3. Campus tours

Be sure to attend our campus tours that will be running throughout the day – every half an hour starting at 10:30 a.m. (MDT)! The tours are guided by current UCalgary students and each tour will be 40 minutes in length. You will have the opportunity to ask your tour guide any questions you have, while exploring our campus facilities.

4. Specialty Tours

In addition to our main campus tours, there will be residence-specific tours and faculty-specific tours running at different times throughout the day. For those that are interested in living on residence, Residence Services will be offering tours that run every half an hour starting at 10:15 a.m. (MDT). For faculty-specific tours, the Faculty of Nursing, School of Creative and Performing Arts, Department of Art and Art History, and the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape will each be offering their own specialized tours. During these faculty-led tours, you will have the opportunity to learn more about a specific program and explore some of our unique spaces on campus.
