Use the map legend to distinguish campus entrances from student, employee, resident and hourly parking. It also marks visitor information, electric-vehicle charging stations and Uber/Lyft zones. This can help you orient yourself before choosing a campus destination.
Campus destinations include the Titan Student Union, Pollak Library, Clayes Performing Arts Center, Titan Stadium, Titan Gymnasium, Student Recreation Center and Visual Arts Complex. The map also identifies the Admissions Office, Titan Shops, Student Health & Counseling Center, University Police and Parking & Transportation Office.
For a guided introduction, CSUF’s daily campus tours depart from the TITAN letters outside the Titan Student Union, on the east side of campus near State College Boulevard. For tour planning details, see how to plan a CSUF campus visit.

Other campus destinations include Pollak Library, Titan Shops and the Student Recreation Center. CSUF’s group campus tours have a different departure point from daily tours: they leave from Tuffy Lawn in front of the Student Recreation Center.
