Transferring Between Residential Houses (page 77)

Updated the link for Harvard's Academic Calendar (10/6/21)

Applications are made in the term prior to when the transfer would take place (e.g., students who want to transfer in the fall apply in the spring), and Harvard’s Academic Calendar (https://calendar.college.harvard.edu/) includes deadline dates. Requests for an inter-House transfer based on medical reasons are evaluated on an individual basis throughout the year. Transfers between Houses for medical reasons are rare, and all such petitions must be directed to the AEO.

The public health crisis occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented social and economic disruption worldwide, in the United States, and in the Boston/Cambridge area. For the 2021-22 academic year, Harvard College plans to resume in-person instruction to the fullest extent possible, with appropriate measures and conditions in place to protect the health and safety of University students, staff, and faculty and surrounding communities. These measures and conditions include, among other things, the University’s requirement that students (1) provide evidence of vaccination to Harvard University Health Services and (2) participate in compulsory HUHS COVID-19 testing and tracing programs.

Unless they can demonstrate that they are eligible for a medical or religious exemption from these requirements, students who do not provide the HUHS-required documentation of COVID-19 vaccination and/or decline, refuse, or fail to be tested for COVID-19 at the cadence specified for them by HUHS may be placed on an involuntary leave or, at the School’s discretion, may face other consequences including, but not limited to, exclusion from participation in certain School or University activities, an instruction not to enter upon University property, the loss of access to University housing, or denial of registration.

In addition, Harvard College continues to retain the discretion to apply its considered judgment to the question of how best to pursue its educational programs during the COVID-19 crisis. We remain alert to the fact that local conditions and/or public health guidance may shift suddenly and require us to adapt how the school operates. Accordingly, changes in conditions may require us to revert to online instruction (in whole or in part), introduce or modify mask and physical distancing mandates, limit certain activities and services, and/or de-densify classrooms and campus spaces — among other protective measures aimed at protecting the health and safety of our community, preserving our ability to adapt to evolving circumstances, and ensuring the continuity of our teaching and research mission.

September 14, 2021: Emergency Policy for Remote Course Credit 

During the 2021-22 academic year Harvard College students will be granted the ability to receive credit for those courses authorized to be delivered remotely. This includes authorized remote courses offered through the FAS and the Harvard Professional Schools.

Students are expected to comply with all disciplinary rules from matriculation until the conferring of the degree. A degree will not be granted to a student who is not in good standing or against whom a disciplinary charge is pending with the Administrative Board, the Honor Council, or the disciplinary board of another school.

Harvard Summer School (page 30)

Updated with the following additional two bullet points regarding College degree credit for HSS courses (3/1/22)

• To maintain the integrity of a residential education, College credit may be granted for no more than 8 credits (generally 2 courses) taught in remote formats. An exception to this limit may be made by the Administrative Board for students who have not completed the degree requirements within the allotted number of terms (“lost degree” candidates).
• No more than one course taught through remote formats may be used to fulfill a General Education requirement.
