Self-Guided Tours
Are you interested in attending Colorado State University and want to see campus at your own pace? We invite you to take our location-enabled, self-guided tour, provided in English and Spanish.
What it is
Our self-guided tour is a location-enabled Google map. It includes a route to 10 locations on campus — the same places you would visit if taking a guided tour — and walking paths to each location. At each stop, you can hear an audio description and see photos and videos to learn even more.
Of course, the beauty of a self-guided tour is the flexibility. You can go your own way whenever you like!

FAQs
All visitors must obtain a parking permit to park on campus, except on weekends, or after 4 p.m. on weekdays, or on designated university holidays. Visitors may obtain a free, online permit by registering their vehicle’s license plate during the visit registration process. Once a vehicle is registered, there is no need for a physical permit.
These digital permits are valid in any “Reserved Parking for Admission Guest” spaces near the University Welcome Center at Ammons Hall or in any parking lot on campus designated with the letters A, Z, ZR, or R. These permits are not valid in “pay to park” spaces.
