Review Your Medical Insurance Coverage

Review as soon as possible

Executives from around the world come to attend the Stanford Executive Program (SEP). We strongly recommend you prepare for the unlikely event that you will need medical assistance during your time on campus. The SEP program fee does not include medical, surgical or hospital coverage. Medical needs while visiting the United States can be expensive without insurance coverage.  Most international insurance is not accepted by US medical providers. We encourage you to review your medical insurance coverage and prepare for any potential need for medical care. 

Book Flight 

In our pre-program survey we will ask for your arrival information. This information will be helpful for our team to prepare to welcome you to Stanford.  

Pre-Program Survey

A pre-program survey will be sent to you via email end of August/early September. 

Accommodations 

SEP is a residential program. All of your classmates will be living on campus during the program, so planning your stay will be an important part of the SEP experience. Check out our residential housing information under Accommodations. Residential check-in will take place on Saturday, October 28th.

Transportation 

Review your transportation options to and from Stanford before you land for a seamless arrival. The drop-off/pick-up location will be GSB Residences: 680 Jane Stanford Way, Stanford, CA 94305. 

Safety at Stanford

Review the general emergency information, emergency announcement hotlines here, and earthquake or fire response instructions. 

Stanford Policies

Please read the Stanford University and Stanford Graduate School of Business policies prior to your arrival on campus. 

Program Onboarding

Program on-boarding will take place on Sunday, October 29th.
