Welcome to Stanford!
We have been eagerly awaiting you and are delighted that you have chosen to spend the next few years here with us on the Farm.
To get started, please set up your Stanford University Network Identifier (SUNet ID) and Stanford email by May 1. In early May, we will begin the Approaching Stanford process and contact incoming students with information about New Student Orientation, course selection, and housing. Your SUNet ID is required to establish a Stanford email address, where you will receive all Approaching Stanford and official university communications.
This website will be updated for Approaching Stanford 2021 in the spring. Please return in May 2021 to review important information for the Class of 2025 and Transfers. Approaching Stanford 2020 information for the Class of 2024 and Transfers is currently on this website.
December 7, 2020, update: We are proceeding with our plans to allow Stanford frosh and sophomores to live on campus in the winter quarter, but based on public health conditions, we are adopting a phased undergraduate arrival process and an enhanced COVID-19 testing protocol for their arrival. The change means that we will welcome most frosh and sophomores back to campus two weeks later than we originally planned.
