HOUSING FOR 2008-09
To help meet the demand for University-assigned,
graduate student housing, Stanford is temporarily leasing units from two nearby,
off-campus apartment complexes that it in turn sublets to
continuing and new graduate students at substantially reduced rental
rates. Leasing and assignment of apartments are being coordinated
by Community Housing, with financial support from
the Provost. Housing for a minimum of 130 students will
be provided for the 2008-09 academic year. Stanford is in the process of phasing out this program, as the Munger Graduate Residences will be open and ready for full occupancy by the beginning of the 2009-10 academic year.
Current residents who will continue to be matriculated students for 2008-09 and have at least one remaining year of priority for student housing were able to renew their contracts for 2008-09. The remaining spaces will be assigned to other graduate students, with priority going to students who went through the on-campus graduate housing Lottery but were unable to get an assignment to on-camus housing.
Applications for off-campus housing for 2008-09 are now being accepted. The first set of assignments will consider applications received through May 11th, but only those from students who applied for on-campus housing as well. The first set of assignments will be announced on May 24, 2008. After that, assignments are made on Fridays, if spaces are available. Each person on the waiting list should receive an e-mail each Friday, indicating whether or not they are being offered a housing assignment. On the application, each person indicates the latest move-in date that is acceptable to them. The application remains active for all assignment rounds until the person is assigned, they withdraw their application, or their latest possible move-in date passes.
