The majority of the Visitor Information Services staff is current students. Therefore, our programs and services are often dependent on the Stanford University Academic Calendar and certain holidays. Stanford University operates on the quarter system, and our class calendar can vary significantly from those of other institutions. For your convenience, the Visitor Information Services operating calendar is outlined below. We recommend you consult this calendar to ensure that the tour or program you are interested in will be available at the time of your visit. Should you have any questions about whether or not a program will be available on a certain date, please contact our office at (650) 723-2560. For schedule information about admission programming specifically geared toward prospective undergraduate students, please consult the Schedule of Events for Prospective Undergraduates.
