Next Steps

Actions

  • Accept your offer of admission.
  • Register to attend an in-person Admit Reception in your area (first-years).
  • Follow Stanford on Instagram.
  • Create a SUNet ID. This ID allows you to log in to axess.stanford.edu to view financial aid updates, if applicable. It is different from your Student ID number.
    • For security reasons, there is a 24-hour delay after requesting your SUNet ID before you can log in to Stanford University websites.
    • If you had a SUNet ID before you were admitted, you should have access to this account within 24-72 hours after receiving your admit decision. If you still do not have access after that time, do not create a second SUNet. Instead, submit a help ticket to the Student Services Center to let them know that you are now an admitted undergraduate student with an existing SUNet ID.
    • Note: Admitted students will not be able to access their Stanford email until they have enrolled at Stanford.
  • After you have created your SUNet ID and if you have enrolled, you will be able to log in to your Stanford email.
    • It may take up to 72 hours after paying your deposit or receiving a deposit deferral before you can log in to your Stanford email.
    • After May 2, all Approaching Stanford and official university communications will be sent to your Stanford email address.
  • As part of your matriculation, the Office of Undergraduate Admission conducts a review of your final transcript(s) and test score(s).
    • Please ask a school official to submit your final transcript with your graduation date clearly marked.
      • If A-Level, IB or other national exam predictions were part of your application, those official results must be sent to us as soon as they are available.
      • If you listed a course in your application that does not appear on your high school transcript, you are required to have an official transcript for that course submitted to us by a school official.
    • Please submit official scores for all self-reported ACT and SAT sittings. Official scores must be sent to Stanford directly from the testing agency.
      • Stanford Test Codes: ACT 0434 and SAT 4704
  • All enrolling students who are neither U.S. citizens nor legal permanent residents must initiate the visa document process through Stanford. View your Stanford portal for further instructions.
