Eligibility for Undergraduate Summer Quarter 2023 Housing

Stanford Students

Stanford students living in housing spring quarter and the upcoming autumn quarter are eligible to live in summer quarter housing regardless of their enrollment status. These students may choose an 8 or 10-week contract.

Additionally, Stanford students living in spring quarter housing who graduate in June are eligible to live in summer quarter housing.  These students may choose an 8 or 10-week contract.

Important: All Stanford students living in housing spring quarter and assigned housing for summer quarter are required to pay for the spring-summer interim period and be available to move to their summer assignment on a specific day during this period. See below for details.

 

Visiting Students

Over the summer, Stanford welcomes students from other universities who are participating in the Stanford Summer Session program. These students are eligible to live in Stanford housing on an 8-week contract.

 

 

Summer Housing Assignments Process

How to Apply

Students apply for housing through Axess.

  • Log onto Axess

  • Select Housing and Dining from the My Information drop-down menu

  • Select Housing and Dining Login

  • Select Apply for Housing

  • Select Summer Quarter and Single Undergraduate and follow the prompts

 

Summer quarter housing applications are due April 24, 2023. Stanford students applying for both summer and autumn quarter housing must file two applications, one for summer quarter and one for autumn quarter.

The Summer Housing Allocation process uses a computer-based assignment program that prioritizes students' first choice of residence listed on their housing application. If the first choice is unavailable, the program will move on to the second choice and so on. It is recommended that students create a comprehensive list of preferred residences in order of priority.

Students will be assigned housing based on their cohort and housing allocation number. For Stanford students, the housing allocation number is based on class year, with current and rising-seniors getting the best numbers. Visiting students are assigned a random housing allocation number. If a student is currently living in a summer housing location and they rank their current housing assignment as their first choice, they will receive a priority to remain in that residence and room for summer quarter. A priority is not a guarantee so all students should create a robust list of housing choices on their housing applications.

 

 

Applying as a Group

When students apply for housing during the first round of assignments for summer quarter, they have the option of forming a group with up to seven of their friends in order to try to be assigned to the same residence. There are no group applications during the Rolling Assignments round. Students must apply by the April 24, 2023 deadline to form a group. 

Students indicate their desire to be a part of a group on their applications. The first group member to submit an application should select “I am creating a new group” and establish a username and password. Usernames and passwords must be 5-8 alphanumeric characters long and must contain at least one letter and one number. The first person to apply is considered the group leader. Group members applying after the group leader will select “I am joining an existing group” and enter the username and password as established by the group leader. Students who wish to increase their chances of staying with their group should make sure ranked choices are in the exact order of other group members. Students who joined a group may copy the residence choices of the group leader. Group members may reorder or change choices in their own list afterward. Keep in mind that choices will not stay in synch with the group leader's if the leader's choices subsequently change.

 

Group Tips

Students in groups are encouraged to: 

  • Stay in contact with your group to ensure your choices are the same (if desired).

  • Verify that each person in your group applies by the deadline and receives a confirmation email after submitting the housing application.

  • If any members of the group are requesting a medical accommodation for housing, they should be sure to alert the rest of the group, as the housing assignment for the entire group will be based on the medical needs of the student(s) in the group who have received medical accommodations for the quarter for which the group is applying. All group members will need to apply by April 24, 2023.

  • Larger groups are more likely to be split or to be assigned to a lower-ranked choice, as there are a limited number of spaces available in each residence and room type, and these are further divided by gender. Students can edit their applications, including group information, up until the April 24, 2023 application deadline.

I can’t imagine my Stanford experience without on-campus housing. Living alone is a new experience for me, and it’s great to make friends to share that with. Resident fellows do a great job of creating fun and educational programming. It’s the perfect excuse to step away from studying and engage with my neighbors.
