Proof of Stanford Affiliation

All individuals staying on campus must have an academic affiliation with Stanford. Proof of affiliation must be provided before submitting a housing application. The following will satisfy this requirement:

Visiting Scholars, post-docs, researchers, interns and others should send a copy of their offer letter from Stanford or an e-mail from their professor or Stanford department verifying their affiliation. Alternately, you can have the professor complete a Verification of Stanford Affiliation Form on your behalf and submit it to the Summer Housing Associate at the Housing Assignments office.

Conference participants attending an un-housed conference should provide a copy of their registration confirmation.

Parents of youth participants attending a Stanford summer camp program should provide a copy of their child’s registration confirmation that indicates the start and end dates of the program.

Visitors conducting business with Stanford are also eligible, including new staff/faculty needing a temporary location to stay.

If you fall into another category, please call 650-725-1429 (Monday – Friday, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.) or send an e-mail to summerhousing@stanford.edu to further discuss eligibility requirements.

Housing Options

Please be sure that you meet the 21-night minimum stay requirements and occupancy limits for families. On the application, you will select all residences that you would accept and indicate a preferred housing choice.  Please note that there are no family apartments that can accommodate more than four people and that housing for visitors aged 18-20 and 1-bedroom apartments for couples will be very limited.
