Stanford Students

On campus this summer?

Lighten your course load for the year ahead or create space to focus on one subject. Half of our students are current Stanford students—many working an internship or participating in athletics training while taking a Summer Session course. You won't need to apply, just enroll in courses directly in Axess. 

Many Summer Session courses fulfill General Education requirements. PWR 1 and 2 courses are popular in summer as well as

• Ways – AII: CLASSICS 31, ENGLISH 90, FILMEDIA 4S, PHIL 60S, and more
• Ways – AQR: CS 109, DATASCI 112, ENGR 10, STATS 110, STATS 117, and more
• Ways – CE: ARTSTUDI 177S, ENGLISH 91V, MUSIC 65AS, DANCE 48, and more
• Ways – FR: CS 103, CS 161, CME 100, CME 106, MS&E 20, SYMSYS 1, and more
• Ways – SI: ANTHRO 1S, CEE 107S, INTNLREL 145, PHIL 35S POLISCI 1, and more

Summer also offers the chance to take a class that was full in other quarters (like creative writing).

Information about the Stanford Summer Fellows Program, including a list of eligible courses, is available on the SSFP site.
