Tour and Info Session Locations

We are excited to welcome you to Colorado State University for your tours and information sessions. Please use the map above and the instructions below to learn more about the locations and parking for your sessions. We recommended you arrive 5-10 minutes early to get parked and checked in.

Parking

All visitors must obtain a parking permit prior to parking on campus, except on weekends or after 4 p.m. on weekdays. 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.

Parking lots 315 and 310 are the closest parking to the University Welcome Center. This map highlights most of the valid parking lots on campus for your digital permit.
