Stanford uses electronic communication as official notice, with emails to students’ Stanford accounts considered received and legally binding, and electronic submissions serving as valid signatures.
Stanford University uses electronic means (such as email, texts, and the Internet) as a method of communication and of providing billing, payment, and enrollment services. For many University communications, email to a student’s Stanford email account is the official form of notification to the student, and emails sent by University officials to such email addresses will be presumed to have been received and read by the student. Signatures or acknowledgments provided by a student electronically to the University via Stanford systems and/or @stanford.edu email are valid and legally binding.
For many University communications, email to a student's Stanford email account is the official form of notification to the student, and emails sent by University officials to such email addresses will be presumed to have been received and read by the student. If a student's Stanford email account is inactive, official communications may be sent to a secondary email on file. Emails and forms delivered through a SUNet account by a student to the University may likewise constitute a formal communication, with the use of this password-protected account constituting the student's electronic signature.
By registering, students agree to comply with all University policies, rules, and regulations, including those related to academics, conduct, health and safety, and financial obligations.
