Can an acceptance be deferred to next year if the applicant cannot attend in the current year?

Show Hide

No. Admission offers to Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies are valid only for the year in which the decision was given. The program will not defer a participant’s acceptance to a different year. However, declining an offer of admission has no bearing on an applicant's chances for admission in subsequent years.

Can I withdraw from the program?

Show Hide

A student can withdraw prior to the start of the program. The student or parent must notify precollegiate@stanford.edu to request a withdrawal. Requests received after the refund deadline are not eligible for a refund.
