Disability Access & Accommodations
Stanford University is committed to ensuring its facilities, programs and services are accessible to everyone. A variety of resources are available for guests with disabilities and/or those needing additional support/assistance to participate in Family Weekend activities.
Disability-related accommodations can be requested during the registration process that opens later this year.

Disability Parking
A limited amount of disability parking is available in Galvez Lot. Please display a valid disabled person parking placard or a license plate (any state) to access these areas. If you have a state-issued disabled person parking placard/plate, you may also park in the following spaces on campus:
- Designated blue spaces
- Service Vehicle spaces (a posted time limit may apply)
- Commuter (“A” or “C”) and residential permit spaces
- Metered/visitor pay parking spaces except in Li Ka Shing Center/Beckman Lot
Shuttles and Golf Carts
Special Family Weekend Marguerite Shuttles will make stops at various locations around campus on Friday and Saturday. Timing, route and stop information will be posted closer to the event. All Marguerite shuttles are wheelchair accessible. All Marguerite shuttles are free and open to the public – no ID required.
A limited golf cart service will also be available for Family Weekend guests with limited mobility. Please note that there may be a wait time for golf cart rides. In some instances, it may be beneficial to park closer to the venue where activities are occurring. For safety reasons, personal golf carts are not allowed to be brought onto the campus during Family Weekend.
Service and Support Animals
Please note that the university restricts pets and emotional support animals from public spaces on campus, with the exception of service animals that are specifically trained to perform a service and/or task for an individual with a disability.
Restricted areas include dining areas, athletic venues, performances spaces, etc.
