Apply to be a Tour Guide!

Posted by Admin On 12:24:00 PM
Tech tours are offered Monday-Friday at  11 am and 2 pm, and tours are approximately 1 hour long. Because some tours run over and guides are expected to help greet prior to the tour, tour guides are expected to block out two hours for tours each week in their schedules. Each tour guide is expected to give one tour per week during school sessions (except holidays). In order to give tours, a guide must have at least one time in the week when a two-hour tour can be consistently given beginning at 11am or 2pm.

Tours are given during school sessions and in between, and the only times that tours are not offered is when Georgia Tech is closed for a holiday. At times when school is not in session (winter break, spring break, and interim weeks between semesters), regular tour guides can give tours for pay with approval from the Assistant Director of Special Recruitment Programs.

In order to apply, a student must have completed at least one semester at Georgia Tech and have achieved a 2.2 cumulative GPA or higher. New tour guides go through a period of shadowing during their first 2 weeks of touring to learn the tour route and information. All tour guides, new and old, also attend a mandatory training session at the beginning of each semester to learn about new things happening around campus.
