Cal Poly Campus Tours and Information Sessions are Suspended.

In response to coronavirus (COVID-19) and in accordance with public health recommendations, all Cal Poly tours including information sessions, accepted and prospective student tours, housing tours and college-specific tours have been suspended through the end of our spring quarter (June 12). This decision was made out of an abundance of caution to keep our community and campus visitors safe and healthy. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

See for Yourself

The best way to explore our campus is to see it for yourself. Our student-led campus walking tours are a perfect way to get to know Cal Poly from the inside out.

Campus and Housing Tours

Our campus tour experience begins with an admissions information session, followed by a 90-minute walking tour of campus led by a current student. You may also choose to add a 70-minute tour of select university housing or a tour of an academic college. Campus tours are held Monday through Friday (except for holidays) and pre-registration is required.

Campus and housing tours are currently unavailable.

Experience our colleges

In addition to the campus and housing tours, each college offers opportunities to find out more about their programs and facilities. Most college sessions are 50 minutes, except for the College of Engineering tour, which is close to two hours in length. Register for a college tour, as well as the campus tour and other offerings by selecting your choice of college.

In-person college tours are currently unavailable.
