Tour experience & length

Important reservation guidelines
To ensure a smooth and fair scheduling process, please review the following carefully before reserving:
- Date availability: If a date is not listed as available, it is not an open tour date due to a campus closure, special event, or prior commitment.
- One reservation only: Please do not reserve multiple dates. Reserving more than one date may prevent other visitors from scheduling and will result in your reservations being automatically canceled.
- Select the correct form: Be sure to reserve under the appropriate form (Individual/Family or Group). Reservations submitted under the incorrect form will be automatically canceled.
- Request vs. confirmation: All reservations are requests only. Please allow 24–48 business hours for review. Your tour is not confirmed until you receive a tour confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email, your tour has not been confirmed.
-
Athletics & band meetings: We do not schedule meetings on behalf of Athletics or the Sonic Boom of the South. If you wish to meet with either program, please contact them directly before reserving your tour to confirm availability. Meetings should be scheduled before or after your campus tour, as tour guides cannot remain with your group during meetings.
- Athletics: (601) 979-2291
- Band: (601) 979-2141
