Students from MIT, MGH IHP and Tufts Friedman and Fletcher Schools may cross-register into HSPH courses.
Tufts/MGH
Students from MGH and Tufts should fill out the “Non-Harvard Account Form” available on the course search page here. All students must fill this form out every semester whether they are a new student or they have taken courses at Harvard before.
- New students will be given a Harvard key to log into my.harvard and access course materials through Canvas. Returning students will be able to use their previous log-in and HUID (after their Non-Harvard Account Form has been processed).
- After gaining access to my.harvard students can petition, enroll and drop courses themselves. Information on how to do this is in the enrollment section of the Knowledge Center.
- All enrollment requests must be completed and students must be on the waitlist by the HSPH add/drop/change deadline, after which the HSPH Registrar’s Office will enroll students from the waitlist if there are available seats in the class and there are no hold or enrollment errors that will prevent enrollment (e.g. time conflict, credit limit, etc.).
-
- After the add/drop/change deadline, students may not drop or change their grading basis.
- Students are not allowed to register for courses that create a time conflict nor register for ones that end and start within 1 minute of each other. The Harvard Chan School assesses a time conflict based on the dates and times printed in the Harvard course catalog, not what an instructor may say about the course. Please note that there is occasionally overlap in session dates between Harvard Chan School and other schools, for which time conflict exceptions are not made.
MIT
MIT students will need to submit a petition for HSPH courses through the MIT enrollment system. Petitions must be submitted before the HSPH add/drop/change deadline.
- Once the petition is approved in HSPH’s enrollment system (i.e. my.harvard) the student will be added to the waitlist for the course.
- Students wishing to drop a course they have petitioned for should inform the MIT Registrar before the HSPH add/drop/change deadline.
- Students are not allowed to register for courses that create a time conflict nor register for ones that end and start within 1 minute of each other. The Harvard Chan School assesses a time conflict based on the dates and times printed in the Harvard course catalog, not what an instructor may say about the course. Please note that there is occasionally overlap in session dates between Harvard Chan School and other schools, for which time conflict exceptions are not made.
Students will remain on the waitlist until the enrollment deadline but should be attending the class. After the deadline, the HSPH Registrar’s Office will enroll students from the waitlist if there are seats available in the class and there are no enrollment errors (e.g. time conflict). The student will receive an email if enrolled.
HSPH will send the grades to MIT after the semester is over.
