NCAA Academic Eligibility
To be eligible to compete, you must be in good academic standing according to Stanford University, be enrolled in at least 12 units (graduate students may be enrolled in as few as 8 units), and maintain academic progress toward a baccalaureate degree. In addition, to meet the NCAA progress towards degree rules, student-athletes must meet the following academic requirements each fall (based on number of full-time quarters enrolled in during the regular academic year) and additional sport-specific academic requirements when applicable (e.g. football, baseball, wrestling)

Registering for Classes
Once you have met with your academic advisor and chosen a schedule of classes for the quarter, you will need to go onto AXESS and enter the classes you will be taking. Any student who has an academic hold on their registration WILL have to meet with their advisor. AXESS will alert you if this is required for you to register. Also, a small number of departments require their undergraduates to secure approval codes, so when declaring your major you will need to ask if your department has such a requirement.
Enrollment Dates & Deadlines
- The Preliminary Study List deadline is the first day of classes of each quarter. These dates can be found in the Academic Calendar. By this deadline, all active students (including those on TGR) must enroll at a full-time status according to academic career.
- Up until the Final Study List deadline, you may add, drop, and swap courses — or adjust units if it’s a variable unit course. Drops are not permitted beyond this point.
- Through the end of the eighth week of classes (or the sixth week of summer quarter), you may choose the grading option for courses in which an option is offered. You are responsible for checking your study list on Axess to confirm that the correct grading basis is selected for any courses which offer a choice.
- You may withdraw from a course after the drop deadline through the end of the eighth week of each quarter (or the sixth week of summer quarter). In this case, a grade notation of 'W' (withdraw) is automatically recorded on your transcript for that course. If you withdraw after that date, you are assigned the appropriate grade or notation by the instructor to reflect the work completed.
