Home > New Students Guide > STEP-Secondary 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 ED101X for the fall of your senior year.

Advising

Rachel Lotan (rlotan@stanford.edu) is available for individual appointment after April 2009.

Testing

CSET You must pass at minimum of one half of the subtests of the CSET in your subject area prior to beginning your 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.
• Official scores need to reach STEP prior to the start of the program, so do not wait until the last testing date.
• The director of STEP 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.
