EE Courses

Students at Stanford register for classes via AXESS at http://axess.stanford.edu. To register for classes, login to AXESS and go to “class search.” You can search for all the courses that are offered in a given Academic Year (Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer quarters). As a student in our department, you may take courses in EE and in other departments at Stanford (some restrictions apply to Law, Business and Medicine).

For questions regarding which classes to enroll in, please consult the department’s Graduate Handbook. Students who must first complete the requirements of the Master’s degree (MS-only and MS/PhD students) should consult the Guidelines for MS Program Planning section of the handbook. Students in the Ph.D. program should consult the Program Information: Ph.D. Degree section of the handbook.

The following web pages will serve as useful references as you plan your course schedule:
