After lunch, all admitted students will have the opportunity for a campus tour. The tour will begin at McNamara Alumni Center and conclude at the Health Sciences Education Center (HSEC). We will end our Admitted Student Day programming at HSEC, which is closer to the Washington Ave Ramp.
Please reference the Schedule page for a detailed view of the Admitted Student Day schedule.
The recommended dress code is business casual. Please also consider the forecasted weather and your shoe choice for the campus tour as you will primarily be walking outside.
Please keep in mind that Admitted Student Day is intended for students only. Your family members or guests are welcome to accompany you to campus but we do not have programming available for them to participate. We recommend guests enjoy Coffman Memorial Union which features the University of Minnesota Bookstore, Goldy’s Game Room (equipped with an arcade, pool tables and a bowling alley), Starbucks, and Minnesota Marketplace (food court).
If you have any questions or concerns throughout Admitted Student Day, please come to the registration table or speak with an Admissions staff member so that we can assist with any accommodations you may need.
We also recognize that Ramadan is currently taking place and we would like to help provide time and space for prayer.
In McNamara Alumni Center there are two private, single-person restrooms past the elevators and to the left (diagram for reference). There are also private restrooms on the 2nd floor that we can help direct you to if these spaces are occupied.
When we transition our afternoon programming to the Health Sciences Education Building (HSEC), you can access the CHIP Wellbeing Studio (room 7-162) on the 7th floor by using the door code 48559*. This space is open to all health sciences students.
During the morning registration and at the afternoon Minnesota Mixer, attendees will have the opportunity to try on sample white coats to determine their size. We order coats through the University bookstore, who chooses the lab coat vendor. The vendor chooses to label the sizes by limited gender labels, “Men’s” and “Women’s” lab coats. The main difference between the “Men’s” and “Women’s” sizes is the length of the sleeve and torso is slightly longer in the “Men’s” size and the shoulder fit is broader. Please do not feel limited by the gender label when selecting your size. Staff will be on-site to assist you in finding your best fit.
