Housing

Both Affiliates and Enrolled Participants are eligible for on-campus housing for the duration of the Institute.

Options for accommodation will include shared dormitory rooms and single dormitory rooms. As part of our negotiated rates, all dormitory housing packages include an obligatory full dining plan. These plans provide 3 meals, every day. All meals are served in or near the residences, and Institute classes and events will be scheduled around the dining times.

Information about how to submit payment for housing (and tuition/affiliate fees) will be sent to registered participants via email. Final payments are due by June 6, 2007.

Housing Package Dates

The housing packages cover the nights of June 30 — July 27. You may move into your housing on Saturday, June 30 and you will be expected to move out on Saturday, July 28. Early arrivals or late departures for institute participants can no longer be arranged.

The official Check-In period for all Institute housing is 2pm-5pm on June 30th; Check-Out will be 7am-9am on July 28th. Information on check-in outside this period is available on the Arrival Information page. Preliminary information about Check-Out is available on this page.

At Check-In, each Institute participant will receive a packet with information about Stanford, and about the Institute, an Institute I.D. card (for access to the library and other facilities), a meal-plan electronic transponder, and a key for the assigned housing.

Housing Service Center

Each housing facility has an associated Service Center, open every day from 8am to 10pm. The Service Center deals with questions involving your residence, including repairs, maintenance, and lockouts. See these guest maps and follow the links for your relevant Service Center.

The Service Center you should contact depends on your housing assignment:

If you need to check in outside the official Check-In period, you can check in at the Service Center associated with your housing (which deals only with housing-related inquiries) between 8am and 10pm on the day of your arrival. If you will need to check in after 10 PM because of a flight that arrives late in the evening, you MUST arrange this ahead of time with Institute staff. Unless you pre-arrange this, there will not be anyone to meet you and give you your key. Please contact linginst07@stanford.edu with any requests for early or late Check-In or Check-Out.

If you have signed up and paid for on-campus housing, you will be notified via email about the location of your dormitory and the associated Service Center.

The official Check-Out period for all Institute housing will be 7am-9am on July 28th. If you are living in Branner or Roble, you can check-out right at your dormitory. For those assigned in two-bedroom apartments (Rains) or studios (Escondido Village), you must check-out at the Escondido Village service center, located near the corner of Campus Drive and Escondido Road. If you are leaving on July 28th, you MUST check out during the official Check-Out period. If you are not departing til later in the day, we will be announcing arrangements about what to do if you want to leave your luggage somewhere til closer to your departure time.

If you are checking out before or after July 28th, you will need to go to the Service Center associated with your housing during their hours of operation, 8am-10pm. Please contact the Service Center in advance to make arrangements if you will be leaving outside these hours.
