Touring Campus

Campus tours are available in various formats to accommodate as many of our visitors as possible. We will continue to offer a mixture of virtual and in-person options, while making adjustments based on recommendations of safe practices and staff availability. You can register for a tour through the Visitor Center website. While in-person visits are limited to small sizes right now, a virtual tour is a great option to get to know campus. A SAMbassador will lead the online visits and there will be a live chat available to answer all of your questions, just like they would if you were visiting in person. When you register for an online campus visit, you will receive an email with login details and additional information. If you have any questions, please email seesam@shsu.edu.

Face Covering Requirements

Face coverings are required indoors and outdoors on Sam Houston State campuses unless you are in a private space or are engaged an activity for which wearing a covering is impractical (such as eating).

For more information about face coverings, view the face covering FAQ. 

Precautions and Cleaning

Across campus, precautions are taken to minimize the spread of COVID-19.

  • Changing occupancy recommendations and seating designs reduces density on campus, generally by at least 50%. 
  • Signage installed across campus limits interactions through directing traffic and enhancing social distancing.
  • Enhanced cleaning protocols in all buildings further minimizes the spread of COVID-19. In addition to cleaning commonly used areas and restrooms a minimum of three times a day, Facilities Management provides intensive cleaning and disinfecting of areas reported as compromised with exposure to COVID-19.

For more information about cleaning procedures, view SHSU's comprehensive cleaning protocols.
