Campus Tours and Visit

We generally* offer Campus and Residence Hall tours Monday through Friday at 10 am and 2 pm following our Academic Calendar, while our Information Sessions are held at 11:30 am and 3:30 pm to complement these tours. The information sessions are geared towards prospective students that have yet to go through the application process. One of our admission officers will provide an in-depth look at the application itself and explain what our Admission Committee looks for during review. This session will conclude with some Q & A about the application process and Chapman University overall.

All tours take approximately 90 minutes, and the information sessions run under an hour.

Tours and Information Sessions meet in the Pankey Visitor Center located within the main lobby of Argyros Forum (Building 12 on the Campus Map) at 386 N Center Street. Please check in 5 minutes prior to your appointment.

The Campus portion of the tour offers a general look at the central section of our campus, including the recently completed Wilson Field, Oliphant Hall and the Fish Interfaith Center. For tours of a particular department or facility, such as the Leatherby Libraries or the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, please contact that department about the possibility of setting up a tour specific to their department or facility. (Note: Not all departments offer a specific tour) For more information on Dodge College tours please click here.

*Please Note the following exceptions to our tour schedule:

We are unable to hold tours during orientation, and when the entire campus is closed for major holidays.  

We will not be holding 2:00 pm tours on Fridays during June and July. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please view our Academic Calendar for further details.
