For students in good standing, enrollment is allowed in a maximum of 18 units without the need for advisor's permission. Enrolling in 19 or 20 units is possible if: your cumulative GPA is 3.0 or above; or, if your cumulative GPA is below 3.0 and you have an approved petition. Enrollment in more than 20 units always requires a petition.
A first year student in fall quarter is just fine taking 12-15 units--adjusting to Stanford and college life is at least the equivalent of a 3-unit course. The maximum number of academic units for first-quarter frosh is 20 (no exceptions). Other students may petition to take 21 or 22 units in certain cases.
