Registration

After submitting the appropriate application materials, each student accepted into the Summer College program will be sent an acceptance letter and other admission materials including complete registration and enrollment instructions.

Registration is the process of enrolling in classes and paying the applicable tuition and fees. High School Summer College participants are eligible to enroll in classes once they have been formally accepted and have submitted all required forms and fees, and been issued a student ID number.

Student Enrollment
Students who are eligible to enroll in classes do so by using Stanford's student information system, which is called Axess. Beginning April 13, 2009, Axess allows you to search the online Time Schedule of Classes, enroll in classes, and update your address. Once enrolled in classes, students receive a bill for Stanford University tuition and fees. Billing and payment services are delivered electronically through Stanford’s online billing and payment service, Stanford ePay. Monthly bills are generated on the 20th of each month and become due on the 15th of the following month. Students will receive information about Axess and Stanford's billing process upon admission.

Course Load
Participants in the residential program must enroll in eight to twelve quarter units. Although our residential students may enroll in a maximum of twelve units, we recommend they stay in the eight to ten unit range to allow time to balance academics with extracurricular social and educational activities planned through the residence.

Participants in the commuter program must enroll in a minimum of three quarter units.

High School Summer College students are not eligible to audit courses.
