If you decide to stop out after filing a registration commitment, but before the start of instruction, you may be eligible to use Axess to annul the registration. Students who are attending Stanford on a student visa may not use Axess. Instead, you should file a Leave of Absence petition and receive approval from the Bechtel International Center which will determine how the leave affects your visa status. If you decide to interrupt your studies after instruction has begun, please follow withdrawal procedures and note that any tuition refund is determined by your last date of attendance. Exceptions to this policy are rarely made.
Contact HAS for information about housing policy and petition forms.
Once you move into a University residence, you are liable for rent for the balance of the academic year. Liability ends when you are no longer a registered student, and have moved out the residence system. Students which children, should check with the HAS for particular contract obligations. You will need to state the reason you are leaving and the date you plan to leave. If you are on the housing waiting list, notify HAS so that you will no longer be considered for reassignment to other residence.
