University tours in Alberta are getting cancelled due to COVID-19. Many are now turning to virtual tours to help students choose a school for next year.

Students are understandably concerned that many university tours in Alberta aren’t happening as planned. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to learn about these schools.

Choosing the right university is a big decision and campus tours are a great tool to help with it. That’s why many schools are sending students to virtual university tours to help them explore the campuses and get their questions answered. We’re putting together a massive list (and updating it) to keep track of all the virtual university tours in Alberta.

Virtual University Tours in Alberta

Ambrose University

Taking a different approach to a campus visit, you can set up a virtual visit with Ambrose through a 60-minute Zoom call.  Meet with an admissions advisor, get walked through the campus, and find out about financial aid. For more on this Christian university, read up on their website and social media.

Athabasca University

Despite being an online school, Athabasca actually has three different campuses, and you can watch a video walkthrough conducted by their student union of the one in Northern Alberta on Facebook. Want to know more? There’s always their official site.
