This Residence Agreement applies to students who are assigned to and living in Stanford Hopkins Residences, although the dates of the actual contract may be different depending upon your academic program. You must be an enrolled Stanford student during each quarter of occupancy. A guaranteed quarter of housing is removed if you are an undergraduate student staying there in autumn, winter, or spring quarters; and an assignment priority year is used if you are a graduate student staying there during autumn or winter quarter.

Students who wish to live on campus for summer and do not have a full-year contract in graduate housing can apply through the summer Lottery process. The normal length of agreement for summer is June 21, 2025, until August 17, 2025, but if you have a spring quarter contract, you will have continuous housing between the two quarters (see below). Students with 8 or 10 week summer contracts may request to change contract lengths. Summer housing charges will be adjusted and fees applied depending on when the request is made. See the Housing Assignments website for details.

Matriculated Stanford Students in Graduate Summer Student Housing

Students living in Graduate Housing spring quarter who have full-year contracts do not need to apply for summer housing because it is included in their contract length. Students living in academic-year residences during spring quarter, who want summer housing or choose to move to campus before their autumn contract begins, should apply for summer housing.
