According to the Stanford Report, the Faculty Senate voted to update the admissions policy and administration for non-matriculated (post-bacc) graduate study, a program that allows students who have completed their bachelor’s degrees to enroll in classes without seeking a degree.
Note that this new policy applies to both recent Stanford grads and post-bacc transfers from other institutions. The big change here is the centralization of the post-bacc program in terms of both admissions and implementation.
Quote:Under the new policy, student-athletes who have completed their bachelor’s degree but still have remaining athletic eligibility may enroll in graduate courses across departments for up to two years. A faculty oversight committee appointed by the provost will review admissions standards, participate in the admissions process, mentor the student-athletes, monitor academic progress, and provide an annual report on the program.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
