PreviewSouthern

Who can come to this event?

PreviewSouthern is designed for high school or transfer students who are going through their college search. Parents are also encouraged to attend, however, each registered student will be limited to 2 additional guests. 

I'm planning to bring friends/siblings/family members who are also prospective Southern students. How should they be registered?

We require that each prospective student register for the event separately. This will allow us to be prepared with a personalized information packet when you arrive for check-in, and schedule each prospect with a faculty and finance appointment. 

What will students do at a PreviewSouthern day? 

PreviewSouthern is a pre-scheduled event with multiple sessions that you will attend, rather than a drop-in open house event. This includes a morning welcome followed by a campus walk with a student ambassador, academic appointments with faculty, a complimentary lunch on campus, finance appointments with an admissions counselor, and a closing event with scholarship drawings and giveaways.

What will my parents do?

Your parents will get to do everything you do. 

Is there a cost to attend PreviewSouthern? 

No. At PreviewSouthern, you are our guest! This is a free event, and we will cover up to two nights of lodging and two meals for the registered student and their two guests. 

I’ve already been to Southern for a campus visit. Should I still come to PreviewSouthern?

Absolutely! Preview days give you the opportunity to meet people you may not have met while you were here for your daily visit. It’s a great way to explore our academic programs and campus life areas and interact with a number of current students.

What if I have a question about PreviewSouthern that hasn't been answered here?
