MD Program Enrollment:

Starting with the “Axess opens for course enrollment” date each quarter on the School of Medicine Academic Calendar, students may enroll in courses and clerkships:

• Note enrollment policies regarding quarterly unit minimums and maximums.
  
• Check Axess or MEP-SR for any enrollment holds, e.g. for non-compliance with immunizations or for quarterly check-ins. Holds will block enrollment until they are resolved.
• Use SimpleEnroll directly or select SimpleEnroll from the Axess login page.
• As needed, use Enroll (Alternate) via Axess, e.g. for accessibility support.
   

Pre-Clerkship Courses:

• Required pre-clerkship courses are listed in the MD Program Student Handbook.
• Pre-clerkship students should enroll in the relevant required courses each quarter.
   

Clerkships:

• Axess enrollment should match the current MEP clerkship schedule.
• Each period drawn corresponds with a clerkship/course section in Axess.
   

Study List Deadlines:

• Quarterly enrollment deadlines are listed on the Academic Calendar.
• The Preliminary Study List deadline is each quarter's first day of classes.
• Up until the Final Study List deadline, courses may be added or dropped, grading basis changed, and units may be adjusted if it’s a variable unit course. 
   

Enrollment Changes for Elective Courses:

• If the Final Study List deadline has passed in a given quarter, but a change  for an elective course is needed, students may submit a request using the MD Program Elective Course Petition form.
  • Permission to make a change must be obtained from the elective course instructor prior to submitting a petition form.
  • Review detailed instructions on the MD Program Elective Course Petition form. 
     

Enrollment Certifications:

• Stanford University has contracted with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide enrollment certification service to students free of charge. The enrollment certification document can be used whenever enrollment certification or student status is required for scholarships, medical coverage, loan deferments, car insurance, etc.
  
• Request an Enrollment Certification via Axess.
  
• The School of Medicine Registrar's Office can also provide a Letter of Good Standing which verifies a student's current status.
