    ABOUT THE CAMPUS VISIT

    We are pleased to offer campus tours Monday through Friday at 9 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. with an additional 10 a.m. tour available on Mondays and Fridays.

    Some quick information to note before you plan your visit:

    Due to capacity limits, we are only accepting ONE registration per prospective student. If you register for a visit and need to change your visit to a different date, you must cancel your current registration before you can register for the new date.
     Between March 4 and April 30, we will prioritize campus visit registration for students seeking to enroll for the fall of 2024 (high school seniors and transfer students), spring of 2025 (transfer students), and fall of 2025 (high school juniors).  We recommend exploring our self-guided tour options for all other grade levels. 
    Campus tours have limited access to academic buildings and our student union. Residence halls are unable to be shown at this time.
    Each registrant is limited to 3 guests.

    Alternative Tour Option
    If you are interested in a general campus tour and they are not available, or if you would prefer to explore our campus at your own pace, please request information about our self-guided tour.


    What are my virtual visit options? 
    The Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the Visitor Center are offering a number of virtual events and activities to bring USC to you. Please visit our virtual series website to find ways to connect with USC.


    Have you already been admitted to USC?

    If so, congratulations! We are excited to offer special events and visit opportunities for our admitted students, including our signature Admitted Student Day program scheduled for February 3, March 23 and April 6.  To access these opportunities designed for admitted students, please log-in to your admitted student portal

    HOW CAN I PERSONALIZE MY CAMPUS VISIT?

    The following on-campus options may be available to help you tailor your visit to fit your interests.

    General Campus Tour
    Learn all about Gamecock life during a two-hour campus tour. Each tour begins with a 20-minute presentation covering the admissions process, financial aid and scholarships. Then, guests spend 90-100 minutes exploring campus guided by a University Ambassador. 

    Express Campus Tour
    Guests spend 90-100 minutes exploring campus guided by a University Ambassador, but these events do not include a 20-minute presentation from Admissions. Express campus tours are recommended for second-time visitors or admitted students, but are open to all.


     Academic Information Sessions 
    Many of our academic departments offer information sessions, which provide a more in-depth look at specific programs. Please note, the sessions do not include a tour of campus. Sessions vary in content and typically last 45-60 minutes. You can see the general schedule by clicking the button below. Any available sessions will appear as options when you register for your visit.


     One-on-One Appointment Requests
    Appointment requests are limited to rising seniors and transfer students. If your academic unit or student interest group is offering appointments, we will notify you via your personalized visit portal after you complete the registration form for your visit.
