Assignments were offered first to single students who were living in winter-only housing contracts in Escondido South and students who were required to move due to renovations in their apartments, followed by guaranteed first-year students, high-priority first-year students, continuing students with medium priority, continuing students with low priority, continuing students who have used all of their years, and finally non-matriculated students. Within each priority assignment group, students were assigned by lottery number. 

Single Students: In the Waiting List assignment round, we were able to accommodate all the students who applied if they were willing to live in every option. The unassigned students limited their housing preferences.

Couples without Children: We were able to accommodate all the matriculated students who were willing to live in any housing option, including the Escondido Village standard studio. We were able to offer one-bedroom housing options to the first-year students and some students with medium priority.

Students with Children: We were able to assign the all of the students who were matriculated and one nonmatriculated student. The unassigned matriculated student had limited his preferences to just Oak Creek.

If you were unassigned in this round, move your application to the continuous assignments round.  We will continue to assign students as we receive additional cancellations between now and the fifth Friday of Spring Quarter.

Assignments were offered first to single students who were living in autumn-only housing locations (Mirrielees and Escondido South) followed by guaranteed first-year students, high-priority first-year students, continuing students with medium priority, continuing students with low priority, continuing students who have used all of their years, and finally non-matriculated students. Within each priority assignment group, students were assigned by lottery number. 

Single Students: In the Waiting List assignment round, we were able to accommodate all of the students moving from autumn-only housing locations (Mirrielees and Escondido South), the guaranteed and high priority first-year students, a little more than half of continuing students with medium priority and a small number of students with medium priority if they were willing to live in every option, including the GSB Residences and Munger. We were unable to assign and non-matriculated students who applied.

Couples without Children: We were only able to accommodate guaranteed students, high-priority students and about a third of the continuing students with medium priority. We were unable to assign the other students who applied.

Students with Children: We were able to assign the all of the students who were matriculated and were not able to offer housing to the nonmatriculated students at this time.

If you were unassigned in this round, move your application to the continuous assignments round.  We will continue to assign students as we receive additional cancellations between now and the fifth Friday of Winter Quarter.

Single Students: In the Waiting List assignment round all new incoming graduate students with high priority and continuing PhD, JD, MD & JSD students with Medium Priority, who were willing to live in any residence (including the off-campus subsidized housing), were assigned. There are still new incoming graduate waiting for housing because they either limited their choices. Some coterminal students and 2nd year Masters student with low priority were also assigned to housing. The only students without priority to housing in this round were special exemptions for students with documented medical needs.

There are still a few high priority, new incoming graduate students waiting for housing because they were selective. Some continuing PhD, JD, MD & JSD students with medium priority, who were willing to live in any residence (including the off-campus subsidized housing), were assigned. The only coterminal and continuing graduate students who were assigned to housing in this round were special exemptions for students with documented medical needs.

Students with Children: In the Waiting List assignment round all new incoming students with high priority and continuing PhD, JD, MD & JSD students with medium priority were assigned. Students with children who had low or no priority were not assigned.

Single Graduate Housing

All single students who applied for graduate housing by the deadline were assigned a random application number from 0001 to 3500. (Current students living in Single Graduate Student Housing who renewed their housing contracts were not given application numbers.) Students who requested to be in a group were given a common number.

New graduate students who apply by the first-round Lottery deadline and select that they are willing to live anywhere on campus are guaranteed housing. Munger and the GSB Residences are not automatically assigned out of the final choice “assign me anywhere on campus” due to their price. These options were only assigned to students who specifically listed them on their applications.

New Graduate Students (who will be in their first year of graduate study at Stanford):

  • 307 of those assigned were Graduate School of Business assignments to the GSB Residences.
  • 37 of those assigned were exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.
  • All of the 12 unassigned new students restricted their choices and so are no longer guaranteed. They will still maintain a high priority for assignment.

Renewals:

  • 2487 single graduate students were eligible to renew their contracts for the 2017-18 and bypass the Lottery.

Continuing Graduate Students with Medium Housing Priority (PhD, JSD, MD, JD):

  • 6 of those assigned were Graduate School of Business assignments to the GSB Residences.
  • 59 of those assigned were exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.

Continuing Graduate Students with Low Housing Priority (Second Year Masters & Coterminal Students):

  • 32 of those assigned were Graduate School of Business assignments to the GSB Residences.
  • 57 of those assigned were exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.
  • 142 additional students with low housing priority were assigned.

Continuing Graduate Students without Housing Priority:

  • 33 of those assigned were exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.
  • No other graduate students without priority were assigned.

Couples without Children Housing

All students who applied for Couple without Children Housing by the deadline were given a random number from 0001 to 1000. (Current students living in Couple without Children Housing who renewed their housing contracts were not given application numbers.)

New Graduate Students (who will be in their first year of graduate study at Stanford):

  • 13 of those assigned were exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.
  • Seven of those assigned were Graduate School of Business assignments to the GSB Residences.
  • All of the new couples without children who indicated that they were willing to live anywhere were assigned.
  • 12 of the unassigned new couples without children listed restricted choices and are no longer guaranteed housing, but will still maintain a high priority for assignment.

Renewals:

  • 432 couples without children were eligible to renew their contracts for the 2017-18 and bypass the Lottery.

Continuing Graduate Students with Medium Housing Priority (PhD, JSD, MD, JD):

  • 15 of those assigned were exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.
  • 31 students with medium priority were assigned, many of them were assigned because they specifically listed Munger.

Continuing Graduate Students with Low Housing Priority (PhD, JSD, MD, JD):

  • Six students were assigned with exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.
  • One couple with low housing priority was assigned because he/she specifically listed Munger.

Continuing Graduate Students without Housing Priority:

  • Eight of those assigned were exempt medical accommodations or staff assignments.
  • No other students without priority were assigned.

Students with Children Housing

All students with children who applied for housing by the deadline were assigned a random application number from 0001 to 0500. (Current students living in Student with Children Housing who renewed their housing contracts were not given application numbers.)

New Graduate Students:

  • All 82 of the new students with children who applied listing the Escondido Village apartments were assigned.
  • One student was not assigned because he/she only listed off-campus subsidized housing.

Renewals:

  • 152 students with children were eligible to renew their contracts for the 2017-18 and bypass the Lottery.

Continuing Graduate Students with Medium Housing Priority (PhD, JSD, MD, JD):

  • All students with medium priority were assigned

Continuing Graduate Students with Low Housing Priority:

  • All students with low priority were assigned

Continuing Graduate Students without Housing Priority:
