Directions: Please complete the application form, transfer essay, and two letters of recommendation from your advisor or other
Stanford faculty members. (This requirement does not apply if your application is being reviewed during your first quarter at
Stanford). A Graduate Authorization Petition needs to be submitted electronically in Axess from the “Petitions and Forms” option in
the Axess drop down menu. This form will require approval from your current department. This is usually the Student Service
Officer’s signature, not the Chair’s. The Bioengineering Department will approve the petition after the application has been evaluated.
Return these documents in person or by ID mail to Bioengineering Graduate Admissions, Clark Center Room S166, Mail Code: 5444.
Please address any questions to bioengineering@stanford.edu
