Find the official policies that govern our student and academic community.
Students with unmet financial or other University obligations may have a hold placed on their account that prevents registration and access to academic documents, and by attending Stanford, they agree to this policy.
A hold can be placed on the registration of any student with unmet financial or other University obligations; in addition to being unable to register for and take classes, among other limitations, such a student cannot receive a statement of completion, degree certificate, or diploma until the hold is released. As a condition of attending Stanford, students accept this provision.
The authority to place service indicators (e.g., enrollment holds) on students’ records is controlled by the appropriate university office, e.g., by the Office of the Registrar, the Student Financial Services Office, the Financial Aid Office, other offices within the Vice Provost for Student Affairs and the Dean’s offices of each of Stanford University’s schools.
Service indicators are dated to show the academic quarter in which they will take effect. A service indicator can be established to remain in effect until removed, or it may be established to remain in effect for a specified number of quarters. Only the office or degree program that placed the service indicator may remove it.
Information on service indicators is stored in Axess. Removing a negative service indicator ends the hold on a student’s record, but retains the information for auditing purposes. Individuals with the designated authority may see the service indicator history for any particular student.
By the Preliminary Study List deadline each quarter, students must be enrolled at either full-time status or enrolled in sufficient units to meet requirements for an approved part-time status.
A student’s active enrollment status at Stanford may be discontinued for reasons such as failing to enroll or obtain an approved leave of absence by the final study list deadline, voluntarily leaving, academic dismissal, or expulsion.
