Preparing for Your Visit

The 45-minute campus tour involves walking outside and climbing stairs. It will take place unless there is extreme weather, such as lightning or extreme cold. Please dress for the weather and encourage your students to do the same. Tours will be customized to accommodate participants with disabilities.

You can ensure a positive experience for both yourself and your students by adequately preparing them for the visit. The most effective visits are those where students show genuine interest by being attentive to their tour guide and asking questions. We appreciate your help in making the most of your visit to CSU.
