Students able to register as non-degree students for course credit are limited to the below categories. If you do not fall into one of the below categories you may want to view our non-degree auditor option.

Please review the following steps to enroll as non-degree student.

1. Submit the Non-Degree Registration form. A registration form is required for each semester. It will be available for the Fall in August and for the Spring (both January term and Spring) in November.
2. The deadline to submit the Non-Degree Registration Form is the last day of that term’s Open Enrollment Period. All dates are listed on the Academic Calendar. Registration forms will not be accepted after that date.
3. Students will be assessed the appropriate tuition for either a four-credit or two-credit course. Tuition amounts can be found on the Tuition Assistance Program page. Non-TAP users can see the tuition amount per credit in the tuition column.
4. Once the registration is processed you will receive information about how to enroll in courses. You can enroll in a course until the end of the Add/Drop period. These dates are also found on the Academic Calendar. Full Fall or Spring courses have different add/drop deadlines than the modules (Fall 1 or Fall 2/ Spring 1 or Spring 2).
5. If you are a Harvard employee using TAP, please review the TAP information for policies and fees. Harvard Employees (TAP eligible), Tax-Related Change to TAP Benefits.
