Special Tuition Rates for Undergraduates

Stanford students are expected to be fully engaged in their academic programs so that they can complete their undergraduate degrees in four years. Hence, undergraduates are expected to carry a full-time academic load of at least 12 units per quarter and to pay the requisite regular tuition rate. Less than full-time study, and consequently reduced tuition, may be permitted in the categories specified below. The Registrar, in consultation with the Subcommittee on Academic Standing, is responsible for approving each request to register for less than a full-time academic load.

Courses attended do not appear on the transcript. 0 $2,760
Permit to Attend for Services Only (PSO) Aut/Win/Spr This status is granted only once: during the final quarter of registration for a student who must be registered to work on a honors thesis; to complete work to clear an incomplete grade in a course required for graduation; or to carry out responsibilities as a residential adviser. A student with PSO status is not eligible for financial aid and may not enroll in courses, but may remain in campus housing. 0 $2,760

Tuition for Graduate Students

Matriculated graduate students are expected to register at the full-tuition rate applicable to their degree program unless they are in the final stages of their degree programs and therefore in a special reduced tuition category. Eligible categories include Terminal Graduate Registration (TGR) and Graduate Final Requirement Registration (GFR). For more detail, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

During the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters, matriculated graduate students in most departments may register at less than the full tuition rate if their enrollment plans are accepted by their departments.

Special conditions apply to students admitted as coterminal graduate students; for more information, click here to download Procedures for Coterminal Students (pdf).

Students in the Law School, Graduate School of Business, or in the M.D program in the School of Medicine should consult appropriate school officers about tuition reduction eligibility.
