Estimate Your Undergraduate Charges
Use this 2022-2023 guide to help you think through charges you might incur and when.
Charges are due monthly. Calendar details are available on the Billing Dates & Deadlines page.
For undergraduate students, the first Autumn notification will be sent September 2, 2022 with a due date of September 20, 2022.
A Few Tips
- It’s critical to review and pay your full balance due each month. Although most quarterly charges post at the beginning of the quarter, other charges and adjustments will post in subsequent months.
- For instance, some courses carry additional course fees, which are assessed after enrollment. Other monthly charges may include cable TV and other IT services, miscellaneous items such as music lessons or practice-room rental fees, room damage/re-key charges, StanfordCardPlan purchases, and changes to the quarterly charges.
Financial Aid
- For fully enrolled students, financial aid is expected to post to student accounts as soon as September 16, 2022. Prior to that date, aid will be reflected as “anticipated aid.” You are responsible for the difference between the full charges and your anticipated aid.
- Your award letter shows the amount of your aid for the year. You can find the quarterly breakdown in Axess following these instructions.
- If you report your Outside Scholarships to the Financial Aid Office, the amount for the quarter will be reflected as anticipated aid until the actual funds are received and processed (you won’t be charged late fees if you have anticipated aid that covers the remaining balance after the due date). For more details and how-to instructions, visit the Financial Aid Office's website for Outside Awards.
