SOU Campus Tours

Tour Update | September 21, 2020

IMPORTANT NOTE: We are pleased to resume in-person campus tours, beginning September 28, with enhanced physical distancing precautions (outlined below). You may also enjoy our virtual campus tour anytime at sou.edu/virtualtour.

SOU Admissions will host daily, outdoor-only campus tours, Monday through Friday at 11 am.

For the safety of our tour guests and guides, we have capped attendance at 27 individuals per day. We are not taking reservations for tours at this time, so please prepare for a first-come, first-served experience.

Upon checking in at our SOU Admissions courtyard, tour guides will assign guests into three groups of up to nine each, plus one guide per group. All guests must wear face coverings in accordance with Oregon state requirements, sign the online visitors log, and complete a quick health screening.

To meet with an Admission Counselor before or after a tour, schedule a virtual appointment in advance at sou.edu/admissionsteam.

Tour times*:

• Monday – Friday at 11 am

Take a tour, apply on the spot, and save money on Free Application Fridays!
Sign up for a campus tour on a Friday^†, then prepare your application for admission using our Raider On The Spot guidelines. We’ll waive the $60 application fee when you submit your application before or after attending a Friday tour!

* Certain dates are unavailable for tours due to campus closures, Admissions events, and registration events. We apologize for any inconvenience.

^† Friday tours may not be available on certain dates, such as Preview Day, Preview Weekend, or summer Raider Registration events. However, we will still waive the application fee for students visiting campus on these days.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We have paused our large group tours until further notice to comply with COVID-19 requirements. Enjoy our virtual campus tour anytime at sou.edu/virtualtour.

Group tours are specifically designed for visiting groups of ten or more students. Group tours must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance to allow for proper scheduling.

Requests for group tours during quiet week, finals week, previously scheduled on-campus events, breaks, and holidays cannot be honored. In addition, group tours are subject to Campus Ambassador availability.

To determine the availability of a group tour on your desired date, please email the Group Tour Coordinator at groupvisit@sou.edu .

SOU believes the best way to experience campus is on one of our guided campus tours. However, if you are unable to visit during one of our scheduled tour times, you can take an interactive, virtual campus tour at sou.edu/virtual-tour.
