Home > New Students Guide > STEP-Elementary Advisory Notes for
Junior Coterminal Admits

Current Stanford juniors need to be aware of the following Stanford University regulations regarding coterminal applications and program status:

Prerequisites

• Register for ED103A, B, and C (offered in Aut, Wtr, and Spring respectively) if you have not already done so.  This series may be taken out of order.

Advising

Ira Lit (iralit@stanford.edu) is available for individual advising anytime during the quarter by appointment.

Testing

CSET You must pass a minimum of one half of the subtests of the CSET- Multiple Subject prior to beginning the MA program in June 2010. We highly recommend that you take and pass all subtests as early as possible.

• Please have NES report scores to Stanford.
• Scores need to reach STEP prior to the start of the program, so do not wait until the last testing date.
• The program director can provide information on testing materials/resources that students have found helpful.

CBEST Please report passing scores to Stanford University before you begin STEP in June 2010.

Undergraduate Degree

• Apply to confer your BA/BS degree in the spring quarter of your senior year; all undergraduate requirements must be completed.
• Do not apply to graduate in the Winter Quarter of your senior year.  At least one quarter of "overlapping" coursework (BA/BS and MA) is required before applying for conferral of your undergraduate degree and/or requesting a leave of absence from your coterminal graduate program.

Financial Aid

Though you may submit a Fellowship Application in your junior year, allocation of funds will not be made until the award season of your senior year.
