Changing Your Application

Changes in Student Status

If, after you have submitted your application, your student status changes (e.g., from single student to couple) you must apply for housing appropriate to your new status. In Axess, follow the prompts to update or change your application. If you can’t update your application in Axess, contact Housing Assignments, (650) 725-2810, to ask if you can make changes via email, fax, or postal mail.
Note:

We do not accept changes over the telephone.

If your status changes before you are assigned: Withdraw your original application and reapply by the deadline for housing that is appropriate to your new status.

If your status changes after you are assigned, but before your contract begins: Cancel your original assignment (you will be assessed applicable assignment refusal fees) and join the Waiting List by the appropriate deadline for housing suitable to your new status.

If you or your spouse/partner becomes pregnant after you are assigned to housing for single students or couples without children: Before cancelling your Lottery assignment, you may apply for housing for students with children for Autumn Quarter if the academic term coincides with your second or third trimester of pregnancy. If you are assigned to housing for students with children, your original Lottery assignment will be cancelled and corresponding administrative fees assessed. Note: All transfers are made on the basis of availability, Waiting List application number, and pregnancy due date. Students already living on campus have priority over off-campus applicants without a housing guarantee, but reassignments aren’t guaranteed.

If your status changes during the academic year: File an application for reassignment by the appropriate Waiting List deadline. If you are certain of your plans, (i.e., engaged to be married or pregnant) you may submit an application for a different category of housing for a future quarter. If we are able to reassign you within a reasonable period of time, you must accept the reassignment. When you are reassigned, your original room or apartment is simultaneously assigned to another student. If you are reassigned mid-year, you must be able to move into your new quarters when the apartment becomes available.

Adding a new member to your group
New members may join your group, by entering your group name and password in Axess.

Furniture changes, couples without children/students with children If you live in a furnished apartment and apply for an unfurnished apartment for the following year, be aware that you will have to move out of your current apartment if you are assigned to a different apartment type. Furniture isn’t removed from or added to your current apartment to match your new assignment.

Withdrawing Your Application

To withdraw your application, follow the prompts in Axess.
If you are not able to log into Axess you must send a request in writing via email, fax, or postal mail by the deadline to:

Housing Assignments
housingassignments@lists.stanford.edu

Fax: ( 650) 736-1297

Once you withdraw an application, you may reapply for housing, but you will receive a new Lottery number and position.
