Spring 2023 Registration

HGSE Courses

 

Courses offered during the Spring Term 2023 are viewable in my.Harvard. Please be aware that development of the course list is still in progress and that additions and changes will be made right up until the time of course enrollment. For that reason, it is a good idea to check the listing frequently. HGSE

My.Harvard Check-In

 

Check-In in my.Harvard will begin on Thursday, January 12 (at 12:01 a.m. ET). You will be able to complete the check-in process by following these steps. The deadline to check-in in my.Harvard is Friday, January 20. After January 20, students will be allowed to do late check-in through Monday, February 6, at which time check-in will close. All students are required to check-in for the spring semester. When you have completed the Check-in process, you will be able to move forward to enroll in classes.

 

Emergency Contact Information

 

As part of the check-in process, you will be asked to list the person whom HGSE should contact should we have any concerns about your wellbeing or personal safety after unsuccessful attempts to reach you directly and/or in the event of a health or safety emergency in which you are personally involved. You may list a parent, family member, spouse, or other trusted individual as your emergency contact.

 

 

HGSE Course Enrollment

 

Once you have completed check-in (as described above), you may begin the course enrollment process. Please see the table below with HGSE enrollment categories for Academic Year 2022-2023.

Grade Options

 

Students are expected to indicate their grade option (letter grade or satisfactory/no credit) for each course selected at course enrollment. As you plan out your course of study for the year (or for two years if part-time), please keep in mind that, in general, Ed.M. students must take at least 16 credits for a letter grade.

 

Cross-Registration

 

Like HGSE course registration, cross-registration into any of the other Harvard schools and MIT is done through my.harvard. Please visit our Cross Registration page for additional information.

Please see below for a timeline of key spring Cross-Registration enrollment events:

 

• Wednesday, January 11: Add courses to your Crimson Cart Opens – This means that you can start adding courses at other Harvard Schools and MIT to your Crimson Cart. This will allow you to validate and submit petitions for instructor permission courses. Please note that you will not be able to enroll into these courses until open-enrollment day: Wednesday, January 18 at 12:01am ET. Holds do not impact your ability to add courses to your Crimson Cart and submit petitions!
