Guided Tours
Daily, Monday through Friday
SOU Admissions hosts daily campus tours to students and their families, Monday through Friday (excluding campus holidays). Admission Counselors will be available to meet before or after a tour.
Each student may bring no more than five (5) guests.
Tour times*:
- Monday through Friday, 11 am
- Tours will not be offered on campus holidays.
Academic Experiences
Academic Experiences will be offered from 12:30 – 1:15 pm on select Fridays during the academic year. For visitors interested in attending the Academic Experience, the campus tour guide will lead you to the department. During the 45 minute session, the faculty member will provide more information about the academic area through a department tour or in-depth discussion. No additional registration is required.
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.
† Friday tours may not be available on certain dates, such as Preview Day, Preview Weekend, or summer Raider Ready events. However, we will still waive the application fee for students visiting campus on these days.

Virtual and Self-Guided Tours
