Registrars and Records Administration

Degree programs

Registrars’ offices are responsible for maintaining the academic records of all current and former students at Stanford. This includes grades, concentrations, degrees, and graduation honors that students receive. In addition these offices ensure that degree progress is tracked, academic milestones are recorded, and degree requirements are completed.

• The School of Medicine Registrar serves students pursuing the MD degree.

• The Office of the University Registrar serves graduate students pursuing a Ph.D. or M.S. degree.
• Students in the Primary Care Associate Program should contact the program's office.

Non-degree programs

For each of the non-degree training programs offered by the School of Medicine and Stanford Hospital and Clinics, a central office maintains records of appointment or registration, tracks participants' progress, and certifies program completion.

• The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) maintains official documentation and certifies completion of training for all of Stanford University's postdoctoral scholars.

• The Office of Graduate Medical Education (GME) supervises post-graduate residency and fellowship programs at Stanford Hospital and Clinics.

• The Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) approves activities designed for practicing physicians who are continuing their medical education, and authorizes certification of completion and credits for CME participants.
