Campus tours and events
Visit Saint Mary's or join an online information session!
There’s nothing like experiencing the campus in person to see why Saint Mary’s is the right fit for you. From our beautiful spaces to our tight-knit, supportive community, our perfectly-sized campus will take your breath away. You don’t have to imagine what life at Saint Mary’s is like - you can see it for yourself by registering for an in-person campus tour! Please note that not all meetings or spaces, including meeting with a Recruitment and Enrolment Specialist, are available on weekends as the campus is closed.
Individual tours
Individual tours are for prospective students and their supporters, providing a great introduction to our campus. When possible, these can be tailored to meet students’ interests. Tours will include a 75-90 minute tour of campus with a current undergraduate student and a 15-minute post-tour chat with a Recruitment and Enrolment Specialist.
Requests for additional meetings may be possible and will extend the length of time spent on campus.
