Open Houses

Undergraduate Admissions conducts two Saturday Open Houses per year. Open Houses are larger and feature more activities, tours and information sessions. Please visit the Open House page for more information.

Daily Visits

Daily visits are offered Monday through Friday throughout the year.  You will have the opportunity to meet with an Admissions Coordinator to go over admissions policies, financial assistance, housing and any additional interests you may have.  You can also request an appointment with a representative in your major and take a campus tour.

Group Visits

If you’re looking for a great educational opportunity for your school or organization, SIU would love to host your group for a campus visit. Group Visits are available Monday – Friday and at each Open House.
