Applications for the Current Quarter
Search for Courses. Use the course selection worksheet to notate your interests; see Further Resources below.
- Apply. Applications happen through the new fspwizard web site.
- Application status. Admission to Introductory Seminars is by instructor selection. Your application status (Accepted, Waitlisted #, Not admitted) will be posted after the faculty review period (before the deadline to submit study lists), so check back at fspwizard for this information.
- Attend the first class meetings of the course to which you are admitted/waitlisted and intend/want to enroll.
- ADMIT is not the same as enrolling for the course in Axess. If your application status is "Accepted", go to Axess and search for the class number and enroll in the course--i.e. add this to your study list.
- Do not attempt to enroll without instructor permission.
- If your status is "Waitlist" attend the first class meeting to enhance or find out your chances.
- ENROLLMENT PERMISSIONING: some introductory seminars (such as those certfied to fulfill WRITE-2) carry a restricted enrollment method called 'permissioning.' If your application status for such a course is 'Accepted', go into Axess and search for the class number. When you enter your SUID, Axess will permit you to enroll and the course will appear on your study list. No number is needed as the system is set to recognize 'Accepted' students upon logon. If your status is 'Waitlist' attend the first class meeting for further instructions.
- Options. You may not have been admitted to your choices but check fspwizard.stanford.edu to search for courses with space available.
