Request a Group Visit


TOUR DATES AND TIMES:

Group visits are extremely limited at this time.

Group visits are for large groups of high school or college-aged students who are visiting campus together. Large groups range from 10 to 60 prospective students, although groups of 50 or less will have a better campus tour experience. Group visits may also be arranged to include an information session with an admissions counselor. To inquire about options for a group visit, please contact us at (803) 777-0169 for more information.

Our office can sometimes accommodate elementary or middle school students, please contact our office at (803) 777-0169 for more information.

Detailed parking instructions will be provided to the group when your visit is confirmed.

If you have booked a group visit and need to change the day or time of the scheduled visit, please call the University of South Carolina Visitor Center at (803) 777-0169. Please call as soon as you know your tour needs to be changed, so we can consider another day and time.

CANCELING YOUR TOUR:
