Looking to see what South Alabama has to offer? You've come to the right place! This page provides an overview of the type of tours that South offers, which are listed on the calendar at the end of this page. We offer various tour opportunities.
Our most common tours are our regular weekday campus tours. Any undergraduate student is welcome and encouraged to participate in these tours. That being said, we do have some offerings that are specific to certain student types or days of the week. Details for those are listed below. The best part? These tours are eligible for a $100 visit credit (applied upon enrollment)!* Each of the below tour types are offered year-round, except on University holidays and breaks.**
Space for each tour is limited. Therefore, prior registration is required to participate. Students may bring up to two guests, but they must be registered to participate in the tour. Once your tour is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email.
Please note the following information points and descriptions for the tours on the calendar below:
- Our tours are typically given outdoors in our open-air vehicles, in groups of 5 or less but can take place in groups of up to 40.
- Tours may be canceled, postponed or otherwise adjusted if inclement weather is expected. Should this be the case, our guests will be notified.
- While we do not recommend it, if you need to bring a child under the age of 5 on tour, you must contact our office in advance for details to ensure the safety of the child.
- In consideration of tour guests with allergies or concerns regarding animals, pets will not be permitted on campus tours and cannot be left unattended on campus.
