Individual/Family
Tours
for
a prospective student and his/her parents and family members
At
San Francisco State, taking a guided campus tour
(during our Fall or Spring semester) is the best
way to get acquainted with our university. Guided campus
tours are conducted during the week throughout the year.
The schedule, which varies from semester to semester, will be
posted at the beginning of each semester. However, if you
would like to visit the campus on a day or time other than
what is scheduled, you are welcome to take our Self Guided
Campus Tour map/brochure (see below).

The information presented on this page is only for a
prospective student and his/her parents and family members.

Student
Guided Campus Tours
What
does it include? The
individual/family guided campus tour for a prospective student
and his/her parents and family members is a free walking tour on pathways
outside of buildings that takes approximately 1 hour. It
is conducted by one of our trained tour guides who welcomes
the opportunity to share their university experience as an
undergraduate student. The campus tour encompasses the
main part of the campus and does not including housing.
If you wish to learn more about a specific department,
you will need to contact that department office prior to your
visit to make arrangements. (E-mail addresses and phone
numbers of SFSU departments are available at www.sfsu.edu/atoz.)
I
am a prospective graduate student; can I participate? I am
an international student; can I participate? Yes,
you can learn more about services available to you.
However, we cannot answer questions related to being a graduate
student (or international student) at San Francisco State.
Graduate students will need to contact their major
department for assistance and international students will need
to contact the Office of International Programs for
assistance. (E-mail addresses and phone numbers of SFSU
departments are available at www.sfsu.edu/atoz.)
How
long is the tour? Depending on the number of
questions, the tour is approximately 1 hour.
Do I need a reservation? We do not
need prior knowledge that you're coming. (Phone
reservations are not required and are not
taken.) Show up with a campus tour reservation ticket
at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time. We will collect one ticket per student at
check-in. Please complete the ticket before coming to our
office because we very have limited space in our reception area.
