Planned Axess improvements will be available on Tuesday, Aug. 9. Next week’s updates will improve how Axess looks and works overall, while still maintaining the tools and features you rely on.

Axess will be down for maintenance between 5 p.m. Friday evening, Aug. 5, and 8 a.m. Tuesday morning, Aug. 9, to implement the updates.

The result? An Axess experience that is more modern, responsive, and intuitive.

  • Improved navigation menus, with more intuitive options, submenus, and Quick Links
  • Personal saved links that you can add, remove, and reorder
  • The ability to toggle among Stanford roles and choose a default role for your Axess experience

These updates will make Axess more user-friendly and more adaptable for the future.
