Admissions Events
Visit the Birthplace of Leaders
How does it feel to trace the footsteps of some of our nation’s most revered leaders? Come see the United States Air Force Academy for yourself!
If you are interested in pursuing an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy and plan to visit the campus, you may wish to participate in one of our admissions events. Tours are intended for students aged 13 to 22 and are intended to help those who are eligible and interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the Academy environment.
Touring the campus is a physically strenuous activity that includes walking long distances, often uphill and several flights of stairs. Please keep in mind the U.S. Air Force Academy is more than 7,000 feet above sea level, and these tours are not recommended for anyone with mobility issues. We recommend visitors drink plenty of water and dress comfortably.
At times, a scheduled admissions event will be canceled due to weather for the safety of both our visitors and our admissions team.
Check local media sources for status when there is current or projected inclement weather.
The admissions office currently offers:
- Discover USAFA
Discover USAFA includes our admissions briefing, Q&A session and a guided walking tour of the cadet area, normally restricted to authorized personnel only.
Admissions events are held in the Barry Goldwater Visitor Center unless otherwise noted.
