Students enrolled in graduate courses for credit are expected to complete homework assignments, projects, case studies and other course requirements on time according to the course syllabus. The Stanford Center for Professional Development serves as a liaison between the student and the instructor making it possible for homework to be submitted, time-stamped, and forwarded to the instructor. Corrected homework is returned via email attachment.

Steps to Submit Homework

  1. Email (scpd-distribution@lists.stanford.edu) or fax (650.736.1266) your homework with the Homework Route Form attachment. Please send your assignment as a PDF or Microsoft Word document.
  2. Upon receipt, the distribution department will print a hardcopy of the form and assignment, keep a record of submission, and email a submission confirmation.
  3. Legible assignments will be forwarded to and graded by the department under which you have enrolled. Illegible assignments will be returned immediately to the student with a request for a new document.
  4. Graded assignments will be returned to the Stanford Center for Professional Development by the officiating department and receive a date stamp as proof of completion.
  5. Date stamped materials will be returned electronically to the email address provided on the Homework Route Form.
