Graduate Student Policies Apply

For coterminal students, the quarter following completion of 12 full tuition undergraduate quarters is identified as the first graduate quarter for tuition assessment. Beginning with this quarter, coterminal students are subject to graduate student policies and procedures including those described in the "Graduate Degrees" section of the Stanford Bulletin in addition to undergraduate minimum progress standards. These policies include continuous registration of leaves of absence for quarters not enrolled and minimal progress guidelines.

Financial Support

Stanford Fellowships are generally not awarded to coterm applicants.  We recommend that you apply for external fellowships as an option for funding your graduate program.  The best resources for lists of fellowship opportunities are the internet and your public library. Please come by the ME Student Services Office, Building 530 Room 125, if you have questions regarding fellowships. 

In order to secure an assistantship, the student must approach individual faculty and make appropriate arrangements.

Advisor Assignment

During the first graduate quarter, a coterminal student is assigned an advisor in the ME department.

Degree Conferral

Conferral of each degree is applied for separately by the deadlines given in the University Time Schedule (on Axess). The MS degree must be conferred simultaneously with, or after, the BS degree.
