Course Petition Form

Petition Information

You must be formally declared as STS in order to submit a course petition as each petition is reviewed in the context of your approved individual curriculum package. STS majors may count no more than two approved course petitions (subject to staff approval) toward their individual STS Concentration Area requirements.

NOTE:

Courses may not be petitioned for Core requirements - only Concentration Area requirements.
Freshman seminars are not eligible for petition.
If the course is taken at another institution, Stanford must first award you transfer credit if you would like the course to be considered for an STS Concentration Area requirement.
