suggested summer programs
If you are considering applying to a domestic program during the summer, please contact an adviser at the Office of International Education.
If you are considering applying to study out of residence at other U.S. institutions during term time, please contact your Resident Dean.
Information about study out of residence at other US institutions can be found in the Harvard College Handbook for Students, in the section entitled "Academic Information," under both Procedures for Earning Credit for Study Abroad and Study at Other Boston-Area Institutions:
1) Harvard does not ordinarily grant credit for study out of residence at other US institutions, except in rare cases when such study is judged to offer a “special opportunity” unavailable to the student at Harvard. Information on the process for petitioning for credit for study away within the US can be obtained from the student’s Freshman Dean or Allston Burr Resident Dean; if the student’s petition is approved by the Administrative Board, the OIE will be notified by the appropriate Dean and will instruct the student on how to apply for transfer credit.
2) […] administrative procedures and limitations on the overall amount of credit a student may earn out of residence follow the policies for full-time study out of residence (see Procedures for Earning Degree Credit for Study Abroad). For more information, a student should consult his or her Resident Dean of Freshmen or Allston Burr Resident Dean.
