Summer Graduate Housing Options and Rates

Stanford student housing charges usually fall below local area rents and include furnishings at no additional charge. Stanford also includes basic utilities — water, heat, electricity, garbage, and sewer — in the housing rate.

Required Housing Charges and Fees

Students will be charged the following mandatory rates through Student Financial Services while living in University housing. Rates vary depending on the residence, student category, and type of housing. These rates are subject to minor rounding adjustments depending on contact start and end dates.

• Housing Charges: Single graduate student rates reflect the charge per student. Couple and family rates reflect the charge per apartment. This fee covers the cost of providing an apartment in a University-assigned residence, all furniture, all utilities (except cable), and coinless/cardless laundry (except in University-assigned, off-campus apartments), and is calculated according to the various contract lengths.
• Technology Fee: The technology fee will be $95 for the quarter. This fee includes land-line telephone (on campus only) and access to internet (wired and wireless residential network).
• Mail and Package Fee: Students in on-campus graduate housing will also be billed a quarterly mail and package fee ($30 for summer in 2025-26).
• House Dues: Each term, residences assess house dues for educational programs, social activities, and other services that aren't included in the housing charges. These dues vary between residences.
• You are billed quarterly based on monthly rates.
• Students pay for every night that they are in housing. Billing will be prorated based on your actual contract start and end dates.
• Students who have a spring quarter contract will not have a gap between their spring and summer contracts, if they are moving residences. Summer billing will begin June 20, 2026 though students will not move into their summer location until a later date.
• Students continuing in housing for autumn 2026-2027 will have their summer contract extended to September 1, which is the date their autumn contract begins, and rent will be adjusted for the additional days.
