How to Visit MacEwan University's Campus

Updated

MacEwan University's campus is in downtown Edmonton, and the university invites prospective students and visitors to see it in person to get a feel for the school. The main way to arrange a visit is through the "Visit" section of the university's website, which the homepage links to alongside its admissions and application pages. The site highlights a new student union building, the Allard Hall arts facility and the iconic clock tower entrance as campus features worth seeing. Specific tour times, booking forms and visitor policies are not detailed on the homepage, so check the Visit page for current arrangements before planning a trip.

What you'll see on campus

The homepage calls out several distinctive facilities that shape a campus visit:

  • Student union building — described as brand new, this is a hub for student life and events.
  • Allard Hall — described as world-class and home to arts programming.
  • Clock tower entrance — an iconic landmark that serves as a recognizable campus gateway.

The university also notes a busy events calendar — visiting speakers, student presentations, Griffins games, theatre and musical performances, art exhibits and SAMU events — so a visit can be timed around something happening on campus.

How to arrange an in-person visit

  1. Go to the university website at macewan.ca.
  2. Open the Visit section — the homepage presents "Visit" as one of its main pathways, with an invitation to "visit campus in person and get a true feel for Edmonton's downtown university."
  3. Check current tour options and any booking requirements on that page, since the homepage does not list schedules or registration steps.
  4. Plan around an event if you want more to see — the "What's on this week?" section lists current happenings you can attend while on campus.

Before you go

  • Confirm the visit details on the Visit page rather than relying on the homepage summary, which focuses on what the campus offers rather than logistics.
  • If you are also considering applying, the admissions pages include checklists for the online application through ApplyAlberta, so a visit can be combined with a conversation with an advisor — the homepage offers a "Speak to an advisor" option.
  • International, future, current and parent audiences each have their own sections on the site, which may point to audience-specific visit information.

For anyone deciding whether MacEwan is the right fit, an in-person visit to the downtown Edmonton campus — especially the student union building, Allard Hall and the clock tower entrance — is the university's own recommended way to get a true feel for the school.
