New Graduate Students

What You Should Receive from Stanford Before Your Arrival

During the summer, Bechtel International Center will send emails with additional information about the visa process, orientation etc. 

The Graduate Life Office will also emails around mid-July to welcome you and to provide information related to student health insurance and the range of services available through the Vaden Health Center at Stanford. The email will contain several attachments that you should review carefully as there are certain requirements and deadlines to which you should pay special attention.

If you have not received these emails from the Graduate Life Office, please contact Ken Hsu, Associate Dean and Director of the Graduate Life Office by email at: kyhsu@stanford.edu.

Graduate students will also receive information from their department regarding departmental orientation and other steps to start your first quarter at Stanford.
