Admissions Visits and Self-Guided Tours

Admissions visits are handled by the Admissions Division. Please submit the form below to schedule an Admissions visit.

Visitors to the Academy are encouraged to take a self-guided tour. Download the Campus Map, wear comfortable clothes, walking shoes and be ready to walk up and down hills to experience our beautiful waterfront facility.                         

Please note: Any vehicle and its occupants entering the grounds are subject to security searches by uniformed security officers.  Marching formations have right of way. Vehicles may not pass marching formations.           

Photo ID Required

Adults should present valid photo identification at the entrance gate. If directed, please be prepared to present vehicle registration and proof of insurance. As a federal facility, the Coast Guard Academy complies with the REAL ID Act, a federal law passed in 2005 to set standards for authenticating personal identification.
