Who is this for?
Harvard College and Harvard Griffin GSAS students
Harvard College new cross-registration policy highlights:
- Effective July 1, 2024 for the Fall 2024 term
- No course enrollment limits
- Grading evaluation and notation will follow the grading system of the school, which will be noted on the student transcript. If the grading system of the host school differs from Faculty of Arts and Sciences grading, students are not permitted to request letter grades.
- Courses will not count towards your GPA (unless it is a failing grade)
- Cross-registered courses will not count towards the letter-graded requirement
- Individual concentrations will decide which courses may count for concentration credit
- Until June 30th, the current policy will remain and we can retroactively process the Concentration Credit Petition for Cross-Registered courses form and include the grade in GPA calculations
- After July 1st, the new policy will be in effect and the Concentration Credit Petition for Cross-Registered courses form will be taken down. No cross-registered courses taken prior to Fall 2024 will count towards GPA calculations
