About our group tours
Campus tours typically last 60 to 90 minutes and include a walking tour of key university facilities. Special requests (e.g., visits to specific departments or labs) must be communicated during the request process and are subject to the availability of the respective department or area.
If your class or group is interested in visiting WMU, please begin the request process by completing the Group Visit Request form. Requests will be reviewed by the Office of Admissions within 10 business days of submission. An official confirmation will be sent to the requestor once the visit is approved or to workshop additional dates if the requested time is unavailable.
