Visiting Programs & Tours

Pleased to meet you. How can a big public university feel so welcoming? Are the facilities really that impressive? I know all the facts, but what does it feel like? Well, there are a few ways to begin getting some answers:

Open House programs are all about giving you the full Saluki experience. You can tour, meet with people from Admissions, Financial Aid, and University Housing, sit in on info sessions; and browse our information fair with representatives from all academic departments and student support programs. Be part of our next open house experience.

On-Campus Preview Days are great for prospective students who want to learn more general information regarding admissions, financial aid, housing and the major of their choice. There are currently no on-campus previews scheduled at this time. Please schedule an individualized visit below.

Off-Campus Preview Days are a chance for prospective students to visit SIU without leaving home.

Individualized Visits are great for students who are serious about attending Southern. You’ll talk to an admission counselor, meet with a representative in your academic area of interest, take a tour with a current student, and see a residence hall room. It is important to register well before the day you want to visit, since these appointments are scheduled based on your interests.
