Group Tour - Counselor Registration

Thank you for your interest in visiting UC Santa Cruz with your group!

Reservations for a group tour must be requested at least one month in advance and are subject to availability of student guides. Submitting a request does not guarantee your group tour on the requested date. Our team will contact you directly so please make sure your contact information is for someone we can reach by phone and email.

We offer group tours to high schools, community colleges and other groups that work with prospective students. Group sizes can range from 6 to a maximum of 60 guests (including chaperones). We require 1 adult chaperone for every 15 students and the chaperone is required to stay with the group for the entire duration of the tour. 

Our group tour is generally 90 minutes and covers approximately 1.5 miles over hilly terrain and many stairs. If any guests in your group have temporary or long-term mobility issues or require other accommodations, please let us know when making your request for a reservation.

PLEASE NOTE: 

• Group tours are not offered during finals weeks, school breaks and holidays. See UCSC Key Dates for more information.
• During the month of April campus tours are prioritized for Admitted Students and their guests. Group tours will not be offered April 3-21, 2023.
• Our campus tours are a completely outdoor experience (no classroom or student housing interiors).
• Dining halls are not serving group tour meals until further notice. 
• Group tours for elementary and middle school groups are not available at this time.

We look forward to your visit!
