During last year’s program, Stanford Summer Session observed that the incidence of positive test cases in residence was highest during the first two weeks of the program. To prevent a repeat of this situation, all students are required to mask during the first week of the Summer Quarter. This policy includes all indoor orientation events scheduled as part of Welcome Weekend, as well as Summer Session programming scheduled during the first week of the session. Students will not be required to wear masks within their residence, in dining halls, or when walking around campus. Be aware that some instructors may continue to ask that masks be worn in their classrooms throughout the summer.

Rapid tests and masks are available at the Arrillaga Family Dining Commons, and at the Environmental Health & Safety Office (EH&S) throughout the summer.
