About Stanford Mobile

Stanford Mobile is the official mobile app of Stanford University, where Stanford students, staff, faculty, alumni, parents, and friends connect to essential information on The Farm. The app allows you to explore campus dining options, upcoming events, featured news stories, campus and shuttle maps, and more at your fingertips. 

Stanford community members with a SUNet ID can login and access the Stanford Health Check and Mobile ID features. Health Check gives you quick and convenient access to the self-reporting tool. Mobile ID displays the information that you find on your physical Stanford ID card: your name, photo, affiliation, University ID, and barcode number. 

Expanded Mobile ID functionality, which includes door access to Stanford buildings, is currently part of a University IT pilot program.

The Stanford Mobile app is maintained by University IT
