We know that nothing can replace visiting a college campus in person and experiencing that energy for yourself firsthand, but we are happy to offer opportunities for those who are unable to visit in person.
Please note: The “Virtual Visit” events listed are umbrella events that encompass the Admission Information Session and a Student Forum. While completing the registration, you will have the ability to select the specific parts of the program you would like to attend. You are not required to stay for the entire time. Themed Panels will require separate registration.
Click through the calendar on the right to browse the available virtual opportunities. Upcoming events are posted through the month of March (please note: all times listed are U.S. Pacific Time), and may include the following options:
The Admission Information Session is designed to help high school students and prospective transfers explore the programs, places, and people that define Stanford’s commitment to undergraduate education within the setting of a world-class university. This is a 45-minute virtual information session conducted by a representative from the Office of Undergraduate Admission; the representative will discuss characteristics that make Stanford distinctive, as well as Stanford’s admission process and commitment to financial aid.
Please note that Stanford does not track demonstrated interest as part of the admission process. Online engagement is optional and will not be part of the review of your application.
Further information about applying to Stanford is available at the Stanford Undergraduate Admission website.
If none of the available dates work with your schedule or if all dates are full, you may view a pre-recorded version of the Admission Information Session on the Undergraduate Admission website.
Designed for prospective undergraduates only, these 1-hour forums are live question and answer sessions with current Stanford undergraduates, and will discuss what it’s like to attend Stanford. Topics covered can include a wide variety, such as: housing and dining, dorm life, student life, and academics.
These sessions are meant to supplement the Admission Information Session; as such, admission questions will not be answered during these sessions.

While we continue to develop our virtual visit options for you, please consider watching our 360° Video Tour.
This 13-minute student-narrated tour is best viewed at 1080s. For optimal experience, we suggest viewing on a mobile device or with cardboard or 360° glasses. Otherwise, you can navigate on a stationary monitor by clicking-and-dragging or by using the compass in the upper left.
