The information below is for our on-campus program at Stanford University:

From Highway 101 North & South: Exit onto Embarcadero Road and travel west, following the signs directing you to Stanford University. About three miles after you exit the freeway, Embarcadero Road becomes Galvez Street as you cross El Camino Real. Stay in the left lane and continue past the stadium. The entrance to the Visitor Center Lot is on the left just beyond Nelson Road.

From Highway 280 North & South: Exit onto Sand Hill Road and follow the signs for Stanford University. Heading east, drive approximately 3 miles to the Stanford Shopping Center. Turn right onto Arboretum Road (Nordstrom is on your right). Stay on Arboretum until it ends, then turn right onto Galvez Street. Move to the left lane and continue past the stadium. The entrance to the Visitor Center Lot is on the left just beyond Nelson Road.

Parking at Stanford is free on Saturdays and Sundays but requires permit or payment on other days of the week. For our mid-campus location, the best options are parking at Wilbur Field Garage at Campus Drive East and Arguello Mall, or Tresidder Lot near Tresidder Union and the Faculty Club, off Mayfield Avenue. Both lots are $2/hour. Pay by credit card at the parking machines located on the lot, or pay in advance by downloading the ParkMobile app.
