Summer Housing Assignments Process
How to Apply
Students apply for housing through Axess.
-
Log onto Axess
-
Select Housing and Dining from the Student drop-down menu
-
Select Apply for Housing
-
Select Summer Quarter and Single Undergraduate and follow the prompts
Summer quarter housing applications are due April 18, 2022. Stanford students applying for both summer and autumn quarter housing must file two applications, one for summer quarter and one for autumn quarter.
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 18, 2022, 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 18, 2022.
-
Larger groups will be 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.
“
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.
