Approaching Stanford
Approaching Stanford is the process that guides all new undergraduates in the transition to life on The Farm. Throughout the summer, you'll be introduced to the Stanford community while completing your New Student Requirements (health forms, housing application, first-year course preferences, and more). The process culminates with New Student Orientation when you move to campus in September.
Move-In & New Student Orientation
We are excited to welcome you to campus! Move-In and New Student Orientation will take place the week before the start of Autumn Quarter. All new students are required to live on campus and participate in New Student Orientation. New Student Move-In Day is Tuesday, September 19, 2023. NSO dates are September 19-24, 2023. The NSO website will be updated in late summer for 2023.
