SOU Campus Tours

Experience a guided tour of the beautiful Southern Oregon University campus! Our 75 minute tours are led by a student Raider Ambassador and will showcase our student union, various academic buildings, the residence halls, and our dining facility.

Admissions counselors are available to meet with you before and after the tour on a drop-in basis if you have additional questions. To schedule an appointment with a faculty member or request to sit in on a class, you will need to contact your major department of interest directly.

Tour times*:

• Monday – Friday: 10:00am & 2:00pm (during the regular academic year)
• Monday – Friday: 11:00am (during finals week, winter break and spring break)
• Monday – Thursday and most Fridays: 11:00am (during summer break)

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 apply on the spot during 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.

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.
