ESOL Testing

The English Placement Test is for incoming international graduate students who are required by Graduate Admissions to take the test. Not all incoming international graduate students are required to take the test. Those who are required will have a "To Do" item on Axess and/or will receive notification from Graduate Admissions upon admission to Stanford University. Click here to learn more
