Student & Academic Services
A division of Student Affairs, our goal in Student & Academic Services is to design services and systems that ensure all students have equitable access to opportunity and can enjoy and focus on their education at Stanford.
We oversee an infrastructure of systems, applications and processes that underpin essential academic and student life activities. We strive to reduce the administrative overhead for students associated with everything from getting a visa to paying their bill to enrolling in classes.
Through this infrastructure, and a focus on operational excellence, we also support faculty teaching and staff administration by collaborating closely with academic and administrative offices across campus on academic planning, curriculum management, degree progress, financial services, graduate admissions and addressing the needs of our international community of students and scholars. We administer hundreds of key operations, transactions, and processes to ensure student success, equity of access, and the integrity of a Stanford education.
In addition to offering services to support students, faculty and staff across these nine departments, we are advancing a multi-year vision to enhance the student experience at Stanford.
Registrar's Office
The Registrar’s Office is where student records and academic curriculum are maintained and managed. The Registrar’s Office supports teaching and learning at Stanford by maintaining the integrity of academic policies and the student information system. Specifically, the office is the steward of student records from application to degree conferral, the maintainer of the engines of scheduling and enrollment that drive the academic cycle, and the provider of data analytics and insights that guide student decision making and provide increased access to opportunities.
Mind Over Money
Mind Over Money is where students gain the knowledge and skills, confidence, and motivation to increase healthy financial behaviors during and after their time at Stanford. Mind Over Money democratizes access to information and resources for all students and fosters a campus culture of healthy financial behaviors and conversations. Through Stanford’s best-in-class program, Mind Over Money increases students’ financial wellness with impactful, relevant, and research-informed curriculum, events, coaching, and resources.
