Visit SC State University

We encourage you to schedule a campus visit so we may show you our picturesque campus!

A campus tour provides an opportunity to see our residence halls, academic departments, facilities and ask questions. It also provides a feel for the campus environment and everything South Carolina State University has to offer.


Tours are approximately 1 hour and includes a 15-minute presentation followed by a 45-minute walking tour to include the Kirkland W. Green Student Center and a glimpse into our prestigious buildings. This is an outdoor walking tour so please dress comfortably for walking the entire hour.
  • Tours may be shortened or cancelled because of weather conditions.
  • Residence Hall tours are contingent upon availability and must be requested at the time of scheduling.
  • All visitors must be 16 years of age and older.
