For the first time, anyone interested in visiting Duke can explore key university buildings and hear from Duke students about life on campus without stepping foot on university grounds.

Duke’s new YouVisit virtual tour launched June 5 and allows people to tour Duke on their computer or smart phone. The experience includes optional commentary from student tour guides, 360-degree photos and videos.

"We know that the campus tour is an essential part of understanding a college, and given Duke’s international reputation we also know that it’s not possible for everyone to visit the campus as they consider applying," said Christoph Guttentag, dean of undergraduate admissions. "This online tour will give thousands of interested students and families the opportunity to get a sense of the places and resources that make Duke special. I’m pleased that we’ll be able to review and make modifications to the tour in the future, to take advantage of the changes still coming on campus."

“It’s a great opportunity to showcase the beauty of Duke’s campus and our vibrant academic environment on a digital platform,” said Blyth Morrell, Duke’s director of digital and strategic communications. “It also offers people from around the world an opportunity to visit Duke without leaving their desks.”

The tour takes visitors through Duke’s iconic West Campus including stops at the Duke University Chapel, the new 70,000 square-foot Duke Student Wellness Center and Wallace Wade Stadium. The tour also explores Duke’s East Campus, which is where freshmen will spend a majority of their first year. Prospective students will get a feel for the student experience by touring residence halls, libraries and dining locations.

Creating the tour was a partnership between Duke’s Office of News and Communications and Duke Admissions.

Welcome to your new home! The Housing and Residence Life (HRL) staff is excited to welcome you to East Campus. You’ll find that living on campus allows you to enjoy the total Duke Experience. Our residential programs are designed to build positive communities that value learning, create new opportunities for faculty engagement, and generate positive social connections. 

East Campus Dean Welcome  

Greetings! 

On the behalf of the Housing and Residence Life team on East Campus, it is my pleasure to welcome you to your new home at Duke University. The residence halls are a core element of the amazing college experience you will enjoy here on campus, and you are a part of what makes the residential community at Duke University come alive. One of my hopes for the class of 2027 is that you will take advantage of as many intellectual engagement and community connection opportunities Duke University has to offer both on East Campus and in your connecting quad on West Campus. There is no shortage of student leaders and staff members who are willing and ready to assist you as you begin this next stage of your life. 

Please know that the Housing and Residence Life team is committed to your success while you are at Duke University. As you join us on campus, I want to encourage you to participate in your House Council and get to know your Faculty-in-Residence (FIR) and your Residence Life Team! Attend programs and events in and outside of the residence halls and positively contribute to the multiple communities within Duke that you will connect to. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your RA, your Residence Coordinator (RC) or the main East Campus HRL office (located on the side of Southgate Hall facing Trinity). I hope to meet you and I feel free to stop me and say “hi” if you see me around campus. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Brandin Howard 

Campus Dean for East Campus and Apartments

QuadEX: Residential Living and Learning at Duke  

QuadEx is our model for living and learning at Duke. Our model seeks to establish an enduring community structure and foundation that allows students to better connect with one another and with campus resources throughout their four years.

• Enhanced Quad-based social and intellectual opportunities will extend the best of Duke’s living and learning experiences to all students. 
• East Campus Houses are permanently connected to associated West Campus Quads. 
• First-year students will have automatic membership into their affiliated Quad on West Campus. 

Quads create a strong community foundation on day one by linking you with classmates in your East Campus residence hall and upperclassmen in your quad. In addition to your classmates, the Quad model also connects you to an Academic Guide, Faculty-In-Residence, and Faculty Fellow who all work to support the learning community of their resepctive quads.

Deadlines Matter

HRL makes every effort to meet the preferences (room type, medical needs, FOCUS Program, etc.) of students returning all required materials by the May 31, 2023 deadline. We cannot guarantee a student’s preferences will be met if the housing application is completed after the deadline.

Duke University Virtual Tour

Are you applying to duke university explore the campus using the virtual tour below..

Virtual tours are a great way to refresh your memory or to preview an on-site tour of Duke.

Do I Really Need to Take a Tour?

At the beginning of your college search, a virtual tour can be a beneficial tool to explore the campus before your visit. When you do visit the campus, be sure to talk to current students about their experiences. A student perspective is a helpful way to gauge your future experience when attending Duke University. Already took an on-campus tour? It's inevitable. All of your college tours will blend, and you might forget the appearance of Duke's library, dorms, or cafeteria. Use the virtual tour to jog your memory! With the interactive mapping tool below you can even explore the area surrounding the campus.

Use the resources below to start your virtual tour.

Using the Map

Click and drag the little orange person to a location on the map. Locations with panoramas appear as blue lines or blue dots when moving the orange person. The blue dots are panoramic views that you may swivel. The blue lines are paths that you can navigate along.

Panoramic View

You can "pan" or "swivel" the camera around by clicking on the image and dragging your mouse or finger. If you see a white arrow on the picture, you can click or tap on it to move in the direction of the arrow. This will also update the location of the little orange person on the map so you can get a better sense of where you are and what direction you are facing.

For students who wish to attend BSAI, LSRW, or NAISI, you must register separately even if you register for another program.

LSRW attendees do not need to register for Blue Devil Days on April 19 because some of the Blue Devil Days programming is built into the LSRW agenda.

Yes! While some are designed to introduce you to specific communities at Duke, anyone interested in those communities is welcome to attend. Please note that AAPI Showcase, Pride, and DukeLIFE Dinners are held during Blue Devil Days. BSAI, LSRW, and NAISI are stand-alone programs and are reserved for students only.  

Who else may attend the events?

Admitted students are invited to attend any events. Families are welcome to attend any program that is not designated as students-only. Due to limited capacity, each student will be able to register no more than two guests for Blue Devil Days.

Live Virtual Pratt School of Engineering Campus Tour

Interested in engineering? Join current students to explore Pratt’s newest facilities and get information on various opportunities available to engineering students. Held on Tuesdays, each tour lasts 60 minutes; registration is required.

I have questions about my need-based financial aid package. Whom should I contact?

Check out this FAQ or email [email protected] .

How do I know if I’m eligible for a merit scholarship?

Duke is proud to offer merit scholarships to incoming first-year students. These scholarships cover the cost of tuition, mandatory fees, room, and board for four years of full-time undergraduate studies. There is not a separate application for these scholarships, except for the Robertson Scholars Program .

All students who apply to Duke are automatically considered for  merit scholarships . Matriculated students who are finalists for merit scholarships will be notified in early May. Please note that some merit scholarships require that the applicant show financial need, and that means that in order to be considered for them, you’ll need to complete your financial aid application before the application deadline.

HOW DO I SEND FINAL TEST SCORES?

Send us your official test scores no later than May 15, 2024. Duke’s test codes are 5156 (SAT) and 3088 (ACT). If you received an application fee waiver, we will accept scores from your counselor in place of official scores.

Test-optional students may skip this step.

HOW DO I SEND MY FINAL SCHOOL REPORT?

We will accept Final School Reports through the Common or Coalition Application or submitted by counselors/school officials via email .

WHAT CREDIT CAN I GET FOR AP AND IB COURSES?

Duke University awards a limited amount of course credit and advanced placement on the basis of scores earned on Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and pre-matriculation college course work. However, course credit and advanced placement are not granted until the student has been admitted and until the official reports are received and evaluated by our Registrar’s Office. Since this process is handled outside the Admissions Office, a credit evaluation cannot be made until the student arrives on campus. For more information, visit admissions.duke.edu/college-prep .

Can you provide any information about student visas?

We will process I-20s as usual in the hope that international students will be able to secure visas and enter the United States.

My (AP/IB/A level and other national exams) have been cancelled. How will Duke assess my academic performance?

For admissions purposes, we will accept final school reports in lieu of these exams. Pass/fail grades are fine. We do not yet know about any changes for placement or credit.

If my family’s financial situation has changed and I will now need financial aid in order to attend Duke. Is there a process for this?

We are not able to offer need-based aid to foreign citizens unless they indicated they were seeking aid in their admissions applications. For those students eligible for need-based aid, we continue to be committed to meeting full demonstrated need for all four years of their undergraduate education, even if the amount of that need changes while students are at Duke. If you have questions about your financial aid award, please contact Duke’s Office of Undergraduate Financial Support via email at [email protected] .

DOES DUKE HAVE A "GAP YEAR" OR DEFERRED ENROLLMENT POLICY?

As you prepare for college, you may want to explore other interests such as personal and professional development, religious or mission work, travel, or required military service. If your gap year, or “deferred enrollment,” is approved and you adhere to the gap year conditions, we hold your place in the following year’s class. Students who defer their enrollment are expected to enroll at Duke at the end of their gap year.

Duke offers two options for students who plan to defer their enrollment: the Duke Gap Year Program , a selective program that offers community and the possibility of funding to support eligible gap year experiences, and independent gap years.

Note: In general, Duke students do a one-year gap, but depending on the request, we can approve up to two years.

To request a gap year/deferred enrollment:

• Enroll at Duke University through your student portal (no deposit required).
• Apply to the Duke Gap Year Program or request an independent gap year on your student portal. The forms will open in the spring.

If you choose to defer enrollment via the Duke Gap Year Program or independently, you must accept the following conditions:

• You will not apply for admission as a degree-seeking student to any other college or university during your gap year.
• Trinity College treats PMC credits equivalent to Advanced Placement (AP) and International Placement (IP) credits. Typically, up to two total AP/IP/PMC credits count toward the 34 courses Trinity students must take to graduate from Duke.
• You can learn more about PMC credits for Pratt students on the Pratt website .
• You will not hold a place, conditional or otherwise, at any other college or university during the remainder of this academic year or during the coming academic year.
• You will not enroll in a post-graduate program at a secondary school.
• You will abide by both the Conditions of Application and the conditions mentioned in your letter of admission. We expect you to maintain high standards of academic performance and personal behavior in and out of school, which includes abiding by our  Community Standard . If there is any change in the information in your application—including any academic, personal, disciplinary, or legal matters—you must contact the admissions office within 48 hours.

You can learn more about gap year options on our website .

WHAT IS THE DUKE GAP YEAR PROGRAM?

Students who wish to participate in Duke’s intentional gap year community are invited to apply to the Duke Gap Year Program. Applicants to the DGYP may request between $5,000 and $15,000 in funding to support eligible gap year experiences. DGYP participants must adhere to the gap year conditions and fulfill a few other requirements, including but not limited to contributions to the DGYP blog and Instagram account. Applications open in the spring.

Remember: if you do not apply or are not admitted to the DGYP, you can still request an independent gap year on your student portal.

How effective are duke university virtual tours.

It depends how you use them. Duke University is a hustling, bustling campus and community. The beauty of Duke University virtual tours on CampusReel is that authentic video tours, made by real students, can be spectacular at capturing the Duke University vibe. We also go well beyond the confines of the Duke University campus by taking you around Durham. In traditional virtual tours, you will mostly see still, unengaging images and will not see the surrounding area at all – which is why CampusReel virtual tours are so important.

Can a Duke University virtual tour replace a traditional in-person visit?

If you cannot visit Duke University in person, then we can honestly say that we believe a CampusReel virtual tour of Duke University is absolutely the most effective and holistic way to understand the Duke University people, campus and community. However, if you do plan on visiting Duke University and other colleges in person, we strongly recommend that you at least prescreen your college options on CampusReel before spending the time and money to visit. Most prospective families find that as soon as the step on campus, they instantly know whether or not they like the school – but they’ve already spent all that time and money getting there! Our goal is to eliminate all the time and money visiting Duke University in person until you can make a strong educated guess that it’s worth the investment.

What places can I virtually tour at Duke University?

For your convenience, below is a list of Duke University places you can virtually tour on CampusReel.

• Wilson Gymnasium at Duke University
• Bryan Center at Duke University
• French Science Center at Duke University
• William R Perkins Library at Duke University
• Few Quadrangle at Duke University
• Duke Student Wellness Center at Duke University
• Bostock Library at Duke University
• Brodhead Center at Duke University
• Innovation Co-Lab at Duke University
• Wilson Recreation Center at Duke University
• Duke University Chapel at Duke University
• Gross Hall at Duke University
• Duke University - Main Campus at Duke University

What are the downsides of a Duke University virtual tour?

The downside of virtually touring Duke University on CampusReel is that, admittedly, our technology does not yet mimic the exact feeling and experience of visiting Duke University in person. We are working on this though! A common request we also receive from users is to add more perspectives (e.g. student guides) to the platform. Rest assured we are working on adding more CampusReel guides to the Duke University virtual tour. However, our selection of guides still far outweighs the available perspectives of traditional virtual tour platforms.

What are the benefits of a Duke University virtual tour?

The most obvious benefit of a Duke University virtual tour on CampusReel is that is can be accessed from anywhere. This can save families a lot of time and money compared to visiting Duke University in person . Another often overlooked benefit of a CampusReel virtual tour is that it goes far beyond a traditional in person tour Duke University . Campus visits are limited both in time and scope – how are you expected to truly understand a college in a 1 hour tour? That’s why we stress the added benefit of CampusReel virtual tours – experience Duke University and Durham during different seasons, days of the week, and even hours of the day. What’s game day like? What is finals week life? Again, traditional virtual touring platforms don’t include this benefit.

Visiting International Student Program

• VIS Overview

VIS OVERVIEW

Study at duke university for a semester or a year as a non-degree student.

The Visiting International Student (VIS) Program is an opportunity for foreign-national students enrolled at universities outside the U.S. to study at Duke University for a fall semester or a full academic year. The program is designed for undergraduate students, usually in their second or third year of studies, who have a thorough knowledge of the English language.

Students admitted to the Visiting International Student (VIS) Program may study at Duke for a period of one fall semester or one academic year (two semesters at four months each), but cannot extend the term or transfer into the four-year degree program at Duke.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants should be full-time students of a university or college based outside the U.S.

View  Admissions Requirements

For Duke Kunshan University students interested in studying at Duke, please contact the Duke Kunshan University Global Education Office  [email protected] .

VIS participants join regular Duke University undergraduates in the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences or Pratt College of Engineering of Duke University as non-degree students. While at Duke, Visiting International Students are treated as full-time Duke students, taking classes and examinations as home students do.

Visiting International Students may take up to four academic courses, plus one to two non-academic courses (e.g. physical education or house course) per semester.

VIS participants are limited to undergraduate courses and may not take classes in Duke's graduate level professional schools such as Fuqua School of Business, the Law School, the Medical School, etc.

Students will only be able to enroll in university courses taught on the Duke campus in Durham, North Carolina, during the academic year.

WHY DUKE UNIVERSITY?

Duke University is the fifth largest research university in the United States in research funding.

Undergraduate Experience

From academics to student activities, from research opportunities to campus support services, there's a lot to discover about what life is like as a Duke undergraduate student.

Duke’s remarkable reputation brought many intellectuals and successful people to campus, and gave me the chance to talk to people I didn't even dream of meeting.”

HOUSING & MEALS

Students admitted to the Undergraduate Visiting International Student Program or as an undergraduate exchange student will be housed on West Campus in double rooms, or suites. Housing will be arranged by university administrators based on preferences indicated by the student once accepted.

Whenever possible, VIS students will be assigned roommates who are not VIS program participants. This gives VIS students a chance to meet local Duke students and better connect to the campus culture.

Housing sign-up: Admitted Visiting International Students will be sent special instructions on how to sign up for university assignments and early move-in. Please do not attempt to sign up for university housing outside of the specific VIS instructions.

Meals Plans

Students in university housing are required to purchase meal plans. Visit dining.duke.edu  for more information.

Overall expenses will vary and depend somewhat upon a student's individual needs, but all VIS students pay standard Duke tuition and fees. 

Review VIS Program Costs

Student Visas

Duke University requires applicants to the Visiting International Student Program to complete a preliminary visa application. The Duke Global Education Office for Undergraduates will facilitate access to Duke's visa application for qualified applicants. Once a student is accepted and committed to Duke's Undergraduate Visiting International Student Program, Duke's Visa Services Office will provide the student with proper documentation to obtain a student visa for study at Duke.

To obtain a visa for study in the United States, a foreign national must furnish their country's United States consulate with proof of their ability to meet educational expenses. The foreign national should not plan to work in the United States since one's ability to pay must be based upon resources available at the time of application. A certificate of eligibility (DS-2019) for a visa application will be issued only to foreign nationals who have been accepted, paid reservation fees, and provided sufficient financial documentation.

Currently, VIS can only obtain the J-1 visa from Duke.  Duke is no longer authorized to sponsor the short term F-1 visa . All Visiting International Students must be sponsored under the J-1 visa category ( https://visaservices.duke.edu/visa-categories/j-1-visa-classification/ ). Incoming students must have at least part of their funding coming from non-family sources (government sponsorship, private scholarship, home institution scholarship, etc.) to qualify for the J-1 visa.
