Arranging a visit +

Contact Kristyn Sonnenberg at physics.sso@umich.edu and she will be happy to set up a visit for you. Many students like to combine a Department visit with a campus visit. If that’s what you would like to do, please make arrangements with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and then e-mail physics.sso@umich.edu. Most visits involve a meeting with a concentration counselor and a lab tour, and you may also choose to sit in on an intro physics class. It would be most helpful if you could notify us ten business days in advance of your arrival. We look forward to seeing you!

We are also happy to host groups of high school students and their teachers. Providing we have ample notice, we can usually schedule a “Demonstration Extravaganza,” lab tours, and a brief talk by the Associate Chair of Undergraduate Studies. These department visits can range in time from one hour up to three hours depending on your time constraints. If you are interested in scheduling a visit, please contact Kristyn Sonnenberg at least 3 weeks in advance.

Parking in Ann Arbor:
Metered parking is available throughout town for $1/hour. Most street meters are enforced Mon.-Sat. 8 a.m.-6 p.m. There are also parking structures in many locations. Rates for most parking structures are $0.40/half hour.

University parking facilities are identified by signs posted at the entrances indicating the location number, parking tier, permits required, and enforcement hours. The signs also indicate whether visitor parking is permitted. The university has a few metered visitor spaces, at $1/hour. On Central Campus, a good place to search for short-term parking is the metered visitor lot next to the Thompson St. parking structure, near Madison ($1/hour). Between the Central and Medical campuses, try the Palmer Dr. parking structure.

Unless otherwise posted, U-M staff lots and structures in the Central Campus area allow free public parking (except during special events) Mon.-Sat. after 6 p.m. and all day Sun. Exceptions are the Fletcher St., Palmer Dr., and Thayer St. structures, open to the public after 10 p.m. Mon.-Sat. and all day Sun., and the Coliseum lot on Hill St. at Division, open to the public Mon.-Fri. after 5 p.m. and all day Sat. & Sun.
