FAQ:

  1. Does adding a course to my shopping list enroll me in it?
    • No. You must enroll at Axess.
  2. Can we rank individual instructors or quarters?
    • Not at this time. I plan on adding something like that over Thanksgiving or Winter break. Please let me know if you have any ideas on how to do it nicely, as the interface will be pretty complicated with multiple instructors per class, and I don't have a list of professors for classes taught before last year.
  3. Is it safe for me to login with my WebAuth password here? It's not a stanford site...
    • Yes. Your login actually happens on Stanford servers, and your password is never sent to us, only whether you have successfully logged in. When you type in your password, the address bar starts with "https://weblogin.stanford.edu/".

Privacy: Your password is handled by WebAuth, and this website never sees it. If you have not added the StanfordCourses Facebook application, courses in your shopping list are not revealed to other users. If you have added it, every aspect of your schedule is publicly viewable. If you select a residence with the Facebook application, it will be associated with your Facebook account and potentially viewable by anyone. No matter what, aggregate statistics without your name may be displayed, such as the number of users that have added a given course and the average rating given to a course. If you post a book to sell, we can display the information anywhere. Anonymous course comments and all course statistics (e.g., grades and ratings) will never display any information about the person who submitted them. However, to prevent spam and multiple rating submissions, your SUNet ID is tied to the comments and statistics. We will never intentionally reveal your identities, but we cannot guarantee that a malicious person will not get access to it. (Privacy policy last updated: 2007-12-18.)
