A
Guide to Enrolling in Classes
Welcome!
The
following pages will guide you through the enrollment process,
including searching for classes, adding,
dropping and viewing your study list. You will also learn how
to change a class's number of units and grading basis.
This
guide is designed to assist you in using Axess. For University
enrollment policies, please consult the Stanford
Bulletin and the Course
Enrollment Information on the Registrar's Office
website.
The
Graduate School of Business, School of Law and the School
of Medicine have enrollment policies and procedures that
differ from those presented here. Please contact your
school's registrar's office for enrollment instructions.
Getting Started
Step 1: Open the
enrollment function
Log
into Axess. Click on the Courses
& Grades tab, then click on Enroll in
Classes. You will then
be prompted
to select an enrollment term (see image below). You may also
access Enrollment through the Quick Links menu on the Axess
homepage.

The
status of the enrollment term is displayed at right. The
possible statuses are:
Enrollment
Open: The current enrollment period has begun and
you may perform all enrollment activities.
Enrollment Not Open: Enrollment has not
yet opened for the upcoming quarter.
Drop Only: You may drop classes but
the period to add classes is over.
Grading Basis and Withdrawal Only: You
may change a class's grading basis and withdraw from
a class,
but the add and drop
periods are over.
Withdraw
Only: You
may withdraw from a class, but the add, drop and change-grading-basis
periods are over.
Enrollment Closed: The period for
all enrollment activity is over.
Enrollment Hold: You have a hold
on your enrollment. Go to the Holds section on
the Axess
homepage
for details and contact information.
Step 2: Select a term
Click
on the term for which you wish to add, drop or update classes.
You will be taken to your study
list for that term. If you have already begun enrolling
in classes, you will see classes listed. Otherwise, the
list will be empty.

Step 3: Add Classes
Click
the Add Classes link.
You will be taken to a page from which you can search the
online Time Schedule of Classes
