Tours

The College receives numerous requests for tours of the facilities each week. However, the availability of staff and students to give these tours is limited. Therefore, the following policy on CVM tours has been established:

CVM Tour Policy
Effective April 9. 2008 THROUGH August 15, 2008

Staff-led tours will be offered on Fridays only at 12:30pm during summer sessions (May 23, 2008 through August 8, 2008). There will be no tours from April 11, 2008 through May 22, 2008 or during the week of August 11-15, 2008 due to new student orientation.

Student-led tours will resume on August 18, 2008 and will be conducted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 12:30pm during the CVM academic year (August 18, 2008 to April 8, 2009) excluding student or university holidays (holiday schedule below).

*Tours highlight our academic programs and are tailored toward prospective students who are at least 15 years of age or older. Group organizations and children's groups, especially elementary schools, are directed to the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, NC, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, NC, the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC, the Piedmont Wildlife Center (for summer day camps) in Durham, NC, the Centennial Campus Center for Wildlife Education in Raleigh, NC, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Farm Animal Days in Raleigh, NC, the NC State Office of Pre-College Programs in Raleigh, NC and the Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park in Scotland Neck, NC.

Please Note:  Tour groups are restricted from entering the Teaching Animal Hospital and the Teaching Animal Unit (farm area).  This policy was enacted to ensure the privacy of our clients and patients as well as protecting against pathogens (airborne or otherwise) that could potentially affect hospital patients. 

If you have questions concerning the policy, please contact the Student Services Office at: 919-513-6205.

*Individuals under the age of 15 who are interested in tours should visit the College's Open House, an annual event usually held the first Saturday in April (Open House 2008 has been canceled due to construction on the CVM campus).
