The Office of Undergraduate Admission is pleased to announce that 45-minute tours are once again provided by advance reservation to qualifying organizations, with tours times available for reservation during the summer on select weekdays from July 5 through late August.

At this point, all new Group Tour requests should be sent to grouptours@stanford.edu. Requests that have already been submitted for fall and beyond will be reviewed and receive responses based upon tour availability and qualifying status.

Qualifying organizations: The Office of Undergraduate Admission seasonally offers guided tours by appointment for prospective undergraduate student groups of 10 or more people (up to 100 max) from the following categories:

High Schools
Community Colleges
Not-For-Profit Organizations focused on Access or Exposure to College
Qualifying Community Based Organizations

Other groups: Middle schools, grade schools, and other qualifying organizations may request approval to visit and park on campus, and can be provided with resources to enjoy a self-guided visit with age appropriate sites, resources, and activities, but we are sorry to say that we are no longer providing staffing for guided tours for these age levels.

Please note that we will not grant requests for group visits through commercial or third party tour operators. All requests and communications must come from and and be processed through a qualifying organization.
