Santa Clara University

We invite you to join us on a campus tour led by our Student Ambassadors, current students eager to answer your questions about Santa Clara University and the surrounding area.

Enjoy an engaging one hour walking tour, complete with interesting facts, figures, and historical tidbits about the school. We encourage you to also attend the information session, a question/answer presentation led by an admission counselor as well as a student panel discussion.

Prospective Student Tours

• Available Monday - Friday and select Saturdays 
• Online registration is recommended two weeks in advance. If you're not able to register online, call us at 408.554.4700 for assistance.
• Arriving to campus - the kiosk at the main entrance on Palm Drive will provide you with a campus map and a hanging parking pass, good for on-campus parking up to 5pm. Make sure to ask for the pass as we will not be able to reimburse you for campus parking tickets.
  
  

If you're unable to come for a tour, we encourage you to download the podcast, print out the map, and take the tour on your own.
