Visit the Raymond Campus
Welcome to the Raymond Campus
Campus tours from May through August are limited, as all incoming freshmen planning to begin in Fall 2026 are encouraged to attend New Student Orientation! If you are not enrolling at Hinds this fall or you cannot attend one of the New Student Orientations, you may book a campus tour appointment below.
- Outside of New Student Orientation, tours are available by appointment only.
- Appointment Address: 501 East Main Street, Raymond, MS 39154.
- Check-In: Arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time to find parking and check in at the Enrollment Center front desk inside Jenkins Hall. If you will be more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, we invite you to reschedule your tour so you don’t miss anything!
- Parking: Visitor parking is available in front of the Enrollment Center (Jenkins Hall) and in front of Cain-Cochran Hall.
- Students attending New Student Orientation will have the opportunity to view a housing showroom similar to their room assignment. So, we strongly encourage incoming freshmen to attend!
- If you book a campus tour below, housing tours are not a standard part of summer tour appointments, but they may be requested as an “add-on”:
- Students with a fall housing reservation: You must schedule your housing tour through the Housing Portal in my.Hinds. This allows you to see a room similar to your housing assignment.
- Students without a housing reservation: Indicate your interest when booking your tour below. We will do our best to accommodate your request following your information session and campus tour by showing you a showroom in Hardy Hall.
