How will you transform this summer? Stanford’s Summer Session is the fourth academic quarter at Stanford University, one of the world’s premier institutions of higher education. A variety of student groups take advantage of courses offered each summer, including current Stanford students, undergraduate and graduate students from outside the University, and students admitted through High School Summer College. The Summer Quarter provides an opportunity for students to grow as scholars and individuals. By balancing challenging academics with a rich menu of educational and social activities, students will have a learning experience that's truly transformative.

We invite you to find the program that's right for you.

View Grades and Order Transcripts

Stanford does not automatically send grades to students at the end of the quarter. To view grades, students should log in to Axess and select the “Student Center” tab. The first section on this webpage is labeled “Academics.” Within that section, under the links to “My Academics,” and “SimpleEnroll,” is a dropdown box that says “other academic…” Use this dropdown box to select “View Course History” and be certain to click on the round “button” next to this box to process the request.

Official transcripts should be requested for all schools a student will be applying to – including Stanford University.
