First time students wishing to enroll in individual Stanford graduate courses for credit without being formally admitted to a degree program need to submit an application to enroll under the Non Degree Option. The academic departments will review your application and academic transcript(s). Please ensure that all transcripts are uploaded to your mystanfordconnection account.

If your employer is funding the tuition for your course, please submit a request to enroll via your mystanfordconnection account. Email the voucher, purchase order, or proof of company payment (such as manager approval) to the client success and engagement team at scpd-gradstudents@stanford.edu. Please note, that if you enroll and your employer does not cover the cost of your tuition, you are responsible for payment.

To check your application status, please go to mystanfordconnection.

Due to space limitations, students enrolled under the Non Degree Option are expected to complete courses entirely online.
