The term preferred walkon, that I have seen Stanford and others use, has no meaning to the NCAA as far as I know.

I believe the "preferred walk on" means you can start practicing in the summer. Regular walk-ons have to wait until the school year starts.

That may be what Stanford means by the term, but I believe it is a term that is not used by the NCAA.

Actually, a lot of programs use the term to mean whatever they want. Apparently some imply that you have at least a roster spot. Some seem to use it simply to sound better than merely "walk-on".
