Registration

Students should register on their my.harvard student portal. To log into my.harvard a student will need their HarvardKey (HUID and PIN). Remember after logging into my.harvard you will need to:

1. Add courses to your cart.

2. Some courses may require instructor permission. If they do, request permission. Once permission is granted, you must go back to add yourself to the course. Just because you request permission the system will not add you to the course automatically.

3. Validate your cart. This checks for scheduling errors and other types of conflicts.

4. Enroll in your classes. This is like checking out at the grocery store, otherwise you just have a cart full of item.

It is not recommended that students take 2^nd year electives during the first year of the program. Students who wish to take one of the online MPH-EPI electives are required to submit a petition (attached to this email), along with a compelling reason explaining why the course is essential to their study in the first year. Petitions should focus on a specific course and not be a general request for any elective that is available. Petitions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Approval will depend on space in the course as well as the reason provided.
