## 2025 Approaching Stanford Mailing

In mid-May, an Approaching Stanford mailing will be sent to the address listed in your [Axess](https://axess.sahr.stanford.edu/) account. If you need to change your address at any point during your time as an undergraduate, you can do so under My Information > Privacy Settings in Axess.

Below are digital copies of the items included in the mailer. If you don't receive any of the items, or if your mailing was returned, you can collect replacement materials when you arrive to campus for New Student Orientation.
