Room Availability
The Nationality Rooms are functioning classrooms. Visitors must take great care not to disturb active classes. Given the current operational stance of the University, all tours of the Nationality Rooms require advance registration and will be guided. Guided, group tours will visit a selection of rooms that happen to be available during the scheduled time. Availability to rooms changes hour to hour depending on class times, so expecting certain rooms to be open during weekdays is not advised. Guests desiring to see particular rooms are advised to visit on weekends when the Nationality Rooms are not scheduled for classes. There are no self-guided audio tours available in summer 2023.
Guided Tours
Reservations must be made at least 3 days in advance. Group tours booked when school is in session will only visit available rooms not in use for classes. To request a guided, group tour, contact the Tour Coordinator using the webform at the bottom of this page. It will enable you to refine your tour request, and the Tour Coordinator will receive your submitted form and reply if there is availability in the schedule for your request. A submitted webform request is not confirmation of a scheduled event; please allow for an emailed confirmation.

Online Tours
Zoom based interactive tours are available via a new secure registration / pay site for the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. They are also a way to tour if you cannot physically make it to campus once operations return to a physical environment. A mixture of video, photos, and audio will enhance the narration of the Nationality Rooms, organized by themes.
Guides
Over the years, the Quo Vadis program has accpted many talented students to join the ranks of volunteer guides. These students dedicate their time to acquiring a thorough and accurate knowledge of each Nationality Room and the history of the Cathedral of Learning so that they can interpret the classrooms and knowledgably answer any questions. Trainees are required to pass both a written and oral exam before becoming a member of the organization. If interested in becoming a guide, contact the Tour Coordinator and Quo Vadis Advisor.
