Schedule a Tour

Come visit us! We love showing off our beautiful campus through our student-led walking tours. This is your chance to ask a Clemson student just what this University, campus and classes are really like.

Tours begin and end at the Class of 1944 Visitors Center, located at 109 Daniel Drive, off S.C. 93. The Visitors Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. During your hour-and-a-half tour, your student guide will give you an overview of the University’s history as well as the ins and outs of campus life today.

Special tours and campus visits for groups larger than 10 are arranged upon request.
