Enter Your Winter Choices by November 4!

Heads-up! Some seminar pages on this website note that an IntroSem has been historically oversubscribed during the selection process. An oversubscribed course is one that receives more requests than available seats. As a result, faculty may be able to review and select from only a portion of the students who requested the course.

Enroll Yourself

Click here to see the latest list of IntroSems that have space and are open for self-enrollment. Note that you must web auth with your Stanford credentials to view the list.

Heads-up

  • The following Autumn IntroSems have Space Available and will open in Navigate Enrollment once frosh can start to enroll themselves in classes during NSO. 
  • Spaces fill first come, first served, when course enrollment opens for the quarter. If a seminar is cross-listed, check for space across subject listings.
  • Frosh, sophomores, and first-year transfers receive preference. Juniors and seniors should email the instructor as enrollment may be limited to these groups.
  • IntroSems involve active in-class participation. If you try to add in Week 2 or 3, be aware that some instructors may not allow you to join so late even though the system lets you enroll. Be sure to email the instructor to check if you try and add an open IntroSem in Week 2 or beyond.

Closed Seminars

Seminars not listed on the Space Available page are currently full or have waitlists.

  • If Navigate Enrollment says, “Instructor consent required,” that means the seminar has a waitlist managed by the instructor with permission numbers.
  • If Navigate Enrollment says, “Department consent required,” that means the seminar fulfills Writing 2 instead of a PWR2 section. All changes in WR2 IntroSems go through the IntroSems Office, not PWR.
