#  Summer and August Registration 2024 

 



**Congratulations** on your admission to the Harvard Graduate School of Education! On behalf of the [staff of the Office of the Registrar](https://prod-gseregistrar.drupalsites.harvard.edu/contact-us?admin_panel=1&login=1), I extend greetings and good wishes to you as you prepare to join the HGSE community. We have found that newly admitted students often need good, clear information before they start their academic career at HGSE. It is our hope that this Summer and August Registration 2025 website addresses many of your initial questions and concerns as you make plans for academic year 2025-2026. Please continue to visit this page as we will be adding new content and registration information and deadlines. Along with the other student services offices on campus, we are here to ensure that your career at HGSE gets off to a good start and that your Harvard experience exceeds all your expectations! With all good wishes,

**Full-Time Residential Ed.M. Students**

Your Foundations coursework will begin online with How People Learn in June and July and will continue on-campus in August and into the Fall with Evidence, and the first part of Equity & Opportunity then followed by Leading Change in Fall 1. (Teacher candidates in the TTL program have a slightly different schedule; please look for details in your program communications.)

It is strongly recommended that you arrive on campus to participate in the HGSE Welcome Day. It is required that you be on campus for the start of Foundations classes.

   
**Part-Time Ed.M. Students**   
For part-time students admitted in 2025, your Foundations coursework will begin this year with How People Learn, offered online in June and July (required). HGSE recommends that you plan to take at least one of the August courses in your first year, but you may choose to take more. (We recommend taking Equity & Opportunity: Identity in Context if you can only take one this year.)

Returning part-time students- those admitted before 2025—should plan to take any remaining Foundations requirements in 2025-26.

   
**Ed.L.D. Students**   
Ed.L.D. students have the option to enroll in How People Learn in the summer prior to beginning the program. How People Learn provides foundational coursework in human development and learning that sets you up well to begin your doctoral studies. Evidence is required in August of your second year.
