For the 2023–24 admission cycle, Stanford did not require ACT or SAT scores for first-year or
transfer applicants. For the 2024–25 admission cycle, which has an entry term of Fall 2025,
Stanford will continue to be test optional and will not require ACT or SAT scores for first-year or
transfer applicants. Stanford is committed to a holistic review of all applicants. We consider the
vast array of information provided in and with each studentʼs application, whether that includes
test scores or not.
If you selected State Exam, please specify:
For example: If you consider the highest scores from either submission, use the highest combination of scores (e.g., verbal from one submission, math from
the other). If you average the scores, use the average to report the scores.

A full academic year refers to the period of time generally extending from September to June; usually equated to two semesters, two trimesters, three
quarters, or the period covered by a four-one-four plan.
Food and housing is defined as double occupancy and 19 meals per week or the maximum meal plan.

Aggregate dollar amount borrowed through any loan program (federal, state, subsidized, unsubsidized, private, etc.; excluding parent
loans) while the student was enrolled at an institution. Student loans co-signed by a parent are assumed to be the responsibility of the student and should
be included.
Institutional scholarships and grants: Endowed scholarships, annual gis and tuition funded grants for which the institution determines the recipient.
As determined by your institution using the federal methodology and/or your institution's own standards.
College-funded or college-administered award from institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must have financial
need to qualify. This includes both institutional and non-institutional student aid (grants, jobs, and loans).
Scholarships and grants from institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must have financial
need to qualify.
Loans and jobs from institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must demonstrate financial need to

unrestricted funds or gis and endowment income) awarded solely on the basis of academic achievement, merit, or any other non-need-based reason.

External scholarships and grants: Scholarships and grants received from outside (private) sources that students bring with them (e.g., Kiwanis, National
Merit scholarships). The institution may process paperwork to receive the dollars, but it has no role in determining the recipi
warded.
Work study and employment: Federal and state work study aid, and any employment packaged by your institution in financial aid awards.
Enter total dollar amounts awarded to enrolled full-time and less than full-time degree-seeking undergraduates (using the same cohort reported in CDS

Include aid awarded to international students (i.e., those not qualifying for federal aid).
Aid that is non-need-based but that was used to meet need should be reported in the need-based aid column.

I1. Instructional Faculty by Category
Please report the number of instructional faculty members in each category for Fall 2023. Include faculty who are on your institutionʼs payroll on the
census date your institution uses for IPEDS/AAUP.
The following definition of full-time instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in its annual Faculty
Compensation Survey (the part time definitions are not used by AAUP). Instructional Faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research
staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research. Use the chart below to determine inclusions and
exclusions:
Full-Time Part-Time
A. Instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, faculty who are not paid (e.g.,
those who donate their services or are in the military), or research-only faculty,
post-doctoral fellows, or pre-doctoral fellows
Exclude
Include only if they teach
one or more non-clinical
credit courses
B. Administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach,
and the like, even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction and
may have faculty status
Exclude
Include only if they teach
one or more non-clinical
credit courses
C. Other administrators/staff who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses even
though they do not have faculty status

D. Undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but have
titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like

Adjuncts and other instructors being paid solely for part-time classroom instruction. Also includes full-time faculty
teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month sessions. Employees who are not considered full-time instruction
faculty but who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses may be counted as part-time faculty.
includes faculty who designate themselves as Black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian, Native Hawaiian or other
Pacific Islander, or Hispanic.
includes such degrees as Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science, and Doctor of Public Health in any field such
as arts, sciences, education, engineering, business, and public administration. Also includes terminal degrees formerly designated as “first professional,”
including dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine (MD), optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm), podiatric medicine (DPM),

Report the Fall 2023 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full time plus 1/3 part
time). In the ratio calculations, exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary,
dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate level students.
Do not count undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants as faculty.
Fall 2023 Student to Faculty Ratio:
6 to 1
Ratio is based on number of students:
7,912
Ratio is based on number of faculty:
1,287
In the table below, please report information about the size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2023 term.
A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a
classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in
which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual
instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-operative
programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted
only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog cross-listings.
A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are
supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any
subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual
instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and
should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.
Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall
2023. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students should be counted once in the “100+”
column in the class section column and 40 times under the “20-29” column of the class subsections table.

For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelorʼs degrees awarded. To determine
the percentage, use majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a double major will be represented twice). Calculate the percentage
from your institutionʼs IPEDS Completions by using the sum of 1st and 2nd majors for each CIP code as the numerator and the sum of the Grand Total
by 1st Majors and the Grand Total by 2nd major as the denominator. If you prefer, you can compute the percentages using 1st majors only.
