Summer IntroSems
Students may apply for enrollment in Summer IntroSems in the IntroSems' VCA starting March 8 and priority enrollment for admitted students will begin April 10. The earlier a student applies, the earlier their application will be reviewed. The IntroSems' VCA will remain open for rolling applications from March 8 to June 1, with multiple periods for faculty review and enrollment. Enrollment in Summer IntroSems is limited with preference to rising Stanford first- and second-year students who haven't taken an IntroSem previously. Please note that Summer IntroSems meet for the first 6 weeks only of the 8-week Summer Quarter, from June 26 to August 4, 2023.
