Five reasons to register early

1. For the best choice of limited-enrollment courses, which fill quickly.
2. To get your Harvard ID number and PIN and activate your Harvard e-mail account before classes begin.
3. For full access to your course website.
4. To receive e-mails from instructors and notices from the school about course cancellations, registration information, and schedule changes.
5. To avoid a late fee. You can register September 3 to September 10, but you’ll have to pay a nonrefundable $50 late fee in addition to the registration fee.
6. If you register by the deadline, you can add courses and make course changes during late registration without a late fee.
