Summer 2020 GT Tour Guide Application

Deadline extended! Fall 2020 Applications are now to be submitted electronically by 11:59pm on Wednesday, April 8, 2020. 

With the recent change of Summer classes moving to remote, we will be changing our traditional Summer Recruitment to a Fall Recruitment. Interested students will submit their application now to indicate their interest in beginning in Fall 2020. Students will still need to commit to two semesters to be considered for a GT Tour Guide position. This can be Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 or Fall 2020 and Summer 2021.

Thank you for your interest becoming an official Georgia Tech Tour Guide! Campus tours operate out of the Undergraduate Admission Office located in the Bill Moore Student Success Center. The admission office cannot fully operate without the amazing time and effort the tour guides put in assisting visiting families.

Prior to completing the application, all prospective applicants should take a moment to become familiar with the following requirements and responsibilities expected of each member of the Tour Guide organization.

Expectations for Tour Guides

1. Tour Guides serve as information resources and friendly representatives of Georgia Tech for visiting families, faculty, staff and students.
2. Tour Guides are expected to arrive 15 minutes prior to their tour time each week (e.g. arrive by 11:15 a.m. for 11:30 a.m. tours and arrive by 2 p.m. for 2:15 p.m. tours).
3. Each week during their tour time, Tour Guides should be prepared to either give a tour or help in the office.
4. Tour Guides are expected to look polished and professional by adhering to the Tour Guide Dress Code.
5. Tour Guides are required to give two tours each week of the Summer semester. During the traditional academic semesters, the requirement is once per week.

If a Tour Guide is sick or has an appropriate reason for missing their weekly tour, they may attempt to find a replacement guide by the procedures outlined during training.
