While continuing students can begin to register for courses, new students have a New Student Advisement Enrollment Hold on your accounts preventing you from enrolling. Transfer students may schedule an appointment with your Academic Advisor who will release this hold after reviewing your course choices and having an advising conversation with you. Once your hold has been lifted (and you have completed your health requirements), you can begin enrolling in your Autumn Quarter classes in Axess. 

Note: New Student Orientation (NSO) is required for all new undergraduate students and you are required to participate in NSO. Your course registration is conditional upon completion of NSO.

Browse the following resources and make a list of questions to share with your advisor:

• Academic Planning Worksheet
• undergrad.stanford.edu
• explorecourses.stanford.edu
• cardinalcompass.stanford.edu
• carta.stanford.edu
• majors.stanford.edu

On August 17, check your email for notification about these required online courses and complete them before NSO begins.

• Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates
• Office of Community Standards: Fundamental Standard and Honor Code

On your designated Move-In Day, check in and pick up your NSO materials at your assigned residence. Students enrolled remotely will be able to access their materials online. All students must be checked in by 5:00 p.m. (in-person or remote).  NSO is required for all new students.
