Campus Visit Tours
We highly encourage you to see the full campus through a Campus Visit tour, which runs 60 minutes and includes a tour of Sandburg Residence Hall. If you’re not looking for that experience, we then offer Housing-only tours of all our residential communities.
Scheduling A Tour
For tours of Cambridge Commons and Sandburg Traditional Towers (North/South/West), guests must register at least 24 hours in advance within a predetermined schedule (see Current Tour Schedule below). Please note that University Housing tour sizes are currently capped at a total of 20 people and we are asking that each student only bring up to 2 guests for the tour.
Private and small-group tours of RiverView Residence Hall, Kenilworth Square Apartments, Purin Hall, and Sandburg East Tower may be scheduled with at least 2 business days’ notice (subject to availability). To inquire about tour possibilities, contact the University Housing Student Outreach Assistants at (414) 229-3158 or uhmktg@uwm.edu.

With the safety of our guests and staff in mind, we are conducting our in-person tours with protocols in place to keep everyone healthy. Per university requirements, our tour groups will be smaller than normal, and all attendees will be required to wear a mask. These guidelines are in accordance with CDC guidelines and UWM policy.
You will be expected to agree to the terms below:
- Please don’t attend if you or anyone in your household is ill. If you become ill, we ask that you reschedule your visit by logging into signupgenius.com. If it is within 1 day of your tour, the sign-up form will be locked and you can reschedule by emailing uhmktg@uwm.edu or calling 414-229-3158.

- All individuals regardless of vaccination status will be required to wear a mask throughout the tour. If you’re unable to wear a mask, please reach out to us so we can provide alternative arrangements.
