2023-24 Course Catalog: ExploreCoursesExploreCourses, Stanford's course catalog, has now been published for the 2023-24 academic year! As you begin browsing courses, use these helpful resources:
Enrollment Timeline- Frosh: As new students, while you may browse courses, you are required to wait until NSO to enroll in courses.
- Transfers: The Transfer UAD will release your New Student Advisement Enrollment Hold so that you can begin enrolling in courses on Aug 30 with continuing students. Click here to learn how to enroll.
- Other Enrollment Holds: You may have other holds (other than the New Student Advisement Hold) that could prevent you from enrollment: Vaden Health Requirements, Civic Engagement Acknowledgment (US citizens only), Student Information Update. Now is a good time to check Axess to see if you have anything outstanding that you can resolve at this time. Note: International students will have a Bechtel Center hold that will be released during ISO.

Getting Started In...During NSO, you will be able to meet faculty and staff from many academic departments and programs. As you begin exploring these academic communities, consider the following guidance:
Getting Started in the Humanities
- Browsing the Humanities page in the Approaching Stanford Canvas,
- Watching videos of recent lectures by humanities faculty and interviews with current students,
- Taking IntroSems, Gateway Courses, or the Humanities Core,
- Learning about the Stanford Humanities Center, browsing their online humanities publication and research news, and signing up for their Newsletter,
- And exploring research opportunities with the Humanities Research Intensive, VPUE departmental grants, and CESTA.
Getting Started in the Natural SciencesNatural sciences include Applied Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Math, Physics and Statistics. If you plan to enroll in courses in Chemistry, Math, and/or Physics, take the summer placement diagnostic (which does not commit you to enrollment in the course). The assessments give you critical information about where to begin your studies in these departments at Stanford, should you choose to enroll. Tips on getting started in the Natural Sciences.
Getting Started in the Social Sciences
Getting Started in Engineering
Getting Started in Sustainability & Earth SciencesInterested in understanding our planet’s history and its future, natural hazards that impact a growing population, the energy and resource base that supports society, a changing climate, and the challenge of sustainability? Check out the Doerr School of Sustainability for departments, programs, and a myriad of opportunities that will prepare you to meet Earth's challenges. Tips on getting started in Sustainability.
