How do I know if this woman wants me to approach or not?

Hey all

There's a woman that I think is attractive on my college campus - I see her between classes. I have not struck up a conversation with her yet, but I really want to. I decided today I was going to do it. The opportunity came; we were walking towards each other on the way to class. As she got close I started to form a smile and I was hoping to meet her eye so I could have her attention and say something. Well as she got close she literally lowered her head and looked down. She walked past me looking this way. Of course I wasn't able to say anything as a result. I get the impression this is a no go? It's very discouraging and doesn't make things easy.

We don't have classes by the way, this is someone I see around.
