Enrollment
In courses available for both undergraduate and graduate credit, you should enroll for undergraduate credit. You may enroll in courses that are only available for graduate credit, but you earn graduate credit and are graded by graduate standards.
You may not register for more than four courses per term unless you have received approval (download* a course overload petition).
Degree credit is not awarded for any course that duplicates the subject matter of a previous course for which credit has already been received. Credit toward the degree is not given for an elementary course in a subject if a more advanced course in the same subject has previously been counted toward the degree, and it is not given for foreign language courses in your native language. Transfer credit that has already been awarded is removed if at any point you complete a duplicate course at Harvard.
You may not repeat a course to improve your GPA. A repeated course appears on your transcript but does not count toward the degree or GPA unless a failing grade is earned.
If you do not enroll for five consecutive years, you are withdrawn from the program. If you choose to continue your degree studies, you must reapply to the undergraduate program and will be held to any new admission and degree requirements.
