Apply for Housing 2009-10
Stanford students
Overview

To receive a housing assignment at Stanford University, upper-class undergraduate students (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) should submit an application online through Axess each year.

Other Students

  • Incoming freshmen and transfer students: You will apply for housing as part of the Approaching Stanford application process after you receive the guidebook mailed to you in May.
  • Co-terminal students: Please check your guarantee status; you will need to apply for Graduate Housing if you have already applied for undergraduate housing for 4 years.
Application Process

The online application is located on Axess—Stanford’s online student information system. To have the greatest chance of getting your preferred residence, please read all the instructions on our website (e.g. Assignment Process and Residence Chart). When you’re ready and know all your options, please go to Application Process for instructions.

Submit by
Deadline
Axess begins accepting housing applications in mid-April for the following summer and academic year. Be sure to submit your application by the appropriate deadline to be included in the pool of candidates for a particular quarter.
Winter /
Spring
Even if you don’t need housing until Winter- or Spring Quarters, you will receive a better chance of assignment if you submit your application by the May deadline.
Missed
Deadline
If you miss the first-round deadline, submit your application for the appropriate Waitlist as soon as you can. Your position on the list depends on the date you apply.
Assignment Process

Student Housing makes the initial, first-round assignments through a process based on randomly generated Draw numbers. In subsequent rounds the numbers are assigned sequentially based on the date you apply. Beginning in May there are three rounds of assignments.

Round 1 is for students who applied by the May deadline. After the first round, Autumn assignments are announced. For Winter- or Spring Quarter housing, students who applied by the May deadline will still receive a first-round number. For a complete explanation, please read the Assignment Process pages.

New This Year
For 2009-2010, we are implementing extensive changes to the Draw. Even if you have applied for the draw in the past, you are encouraged to review all undergraduate application pages before applying for housing. You can find a comprehensive list of changes which affect the 2009-10 Draw at http://draw2009.stanford.edu.
