All undergraduate course instruction this academic year, including sections, will be carried out in the classroom. The experience of the past year has demonstrated that technology can be a powerful pedagogical tool and instructors may use some pre-recorded materials to supplement their in-person teaching. However, they should plan to spend the customary amount of time in the classroom. Instructors may hold office hours online if they feel this will better meet the needs of their students. 

Undergraduate students have resumed living in residence halls. All members of the residential community uphold a shared obligation and commitment to act prudently, safely, and in accordance with public health directives. Learn more on the Dean of Students Office website.

International students may learn more about visa or immigration-related topics through the Harvard International Office and academic or social support through the Office of International Education.

Harvard Athletics is committed to providing a safe environment for our student-athletes, fans, and staff. Under the guidance of Harvard University and our local health department, Harvard Athletics contests will return to full capacity for the 2021-22 seasons.
