2009-2010 FSP CATALOGUE

ARTS INITIATIVE SEMINARS - LOOK FOR THIS SYMBOL IN THE CATALOGUE

Freshman Seminars are offered for half-course credit, and are normally taken as part of the regular program of four half-courses in each term of the year. Ordinarily a student will take a seminar as part of, not in addition to, a full program of regular courses. Any student who enters Harvard as a freshman may apply to any Freshman Seminar during the first two terms of residence. A student may enroll in only one Freshman Seminar in a term, though it is possible to take one in each term of the first year if space is available. Seminars are not letter-graded: a student's work in the seminar is evaluated as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory. Students who neglect the work of the seminar or do not perform satisfactorily will be excluded from the seminar and/or denied credit. Seminar instructors report in writing on each student's performance in a seminar; these reports are available to the student through established procedures.

All seminars count towards degree credit. Some seminars may be counted towards concentration requirements or regarded as "related" courses in a field of concentration; this decision is made by the department or the committee of the concentration.

Students entering Harvard College as freshmen may apply for a freshman seminar during the first two terms of residence. Freshman Seminars may not be audited.
