  • If you are not vaccinated, complete the Stanford Health Check Tool to self-report your health status.
  • Courtesy (Spouse) ID card and Retiree ID card holders must complete the Stanford Visitor: Daily COVID-19 Health Attestation Form in lieu of the Health Check Tool.

Visitors

  • To help minimize interactions between nonessential visitors and the Stanford community, visitors to academic and residential areas of Stanford campuses are largely restricted to those approved to be onsite for education, research, and official business purposes.
  • Visitors coming on-site to Encina Commons must be approved by a staff or faculty member in Stanford Global Studies prior to their visit.
  • Approved visitors for indoor or outdoor activities and events need to complete the Stanford Visitor: Daily COVID-19 Health Attestation.
  • All visitors coming to Stanford must meet at least one of two criteria: 1) be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 2) receive a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to arrival onsite.
  • For more information, please visit Stanford Health Alerts.
Campus community members who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 are not required to wear face coverings outdoors.
 
However, based on current Santa Clara and San Mateo County orders and CDC guidance, face coverings are required indoors for all individuals regardless of vaccination status, at crowded outdoor events where physical distancing is difficult, and when using public transportation, carts, and other university vehicles occupied by more than one person.
 
Do not come to campus if you are sick or feel unwell. Do not come to campus if you are under self-isolation orders by the university or a medical professional. Update Health Check if you are symptomatic or have been exposed.

Land Acknowledgement

The Stanford University community recognizes that the present-day Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, with an enrolled Bureau of Indian Affairs documented membership of over 550, is comprised of all of the known surviving American Indian lineages aboriginal to the San Francisco Bay region who trace their ancestry through the Missions Santa Clara, San Jose, and Dolores, during the advent of the Hispano-European empire into Alta California; and who are the successors and living members of the sovereign, historic, previously Federally Recognized Verona Band of Alameda County. 

Furthermore, the Stanford University community recognizes that the university is established within the Puichon Thámien Ohlone-speaking tribal ethnohistoric territory, which based upon the unratified federal treaties of 1851-1852, includes the unceded ancestral lands of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of the enrolled Muwekma lineages are descended from direct ancestors from the Thámien Ohlone tribal territory whose ancestors were baptized and had affiliation with Missions Dolores and Santa Clara. 

The Stanford University community also recognizes the importance of this land to the indigenous Muwekma Ohlone people of this region, and consistent with our principles of community and diversity strives to be good stewards on behalf of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe whose land we occupy.
