Requirements, Deadlines, and Payment
When you register, you pay a nonrefundable $50 registration fee and full tuition. You must be at least 15 years old at the time of registration to register for undergraduate credit or noncredit, and at least 18 years old to register for graduate credit. Learn more about payment and financial aid.
We encourage you to meet the English proficiency requirement, take the test of critical reading and writing skills, and review enrollment policies before registration opens. Most deadlines are noted in the calendar.
Your Registration Confirmation
After you register, you will receive a confirmation by email. Carry this with you when you are on the Harvard campus. For security reasons, you may be asked to present your confirmation with a government-issued photo ID for admission to certain classrooms in the Science Center, Longwood Medical area, and other buildings and areas on the Harvard campus. You may also print a copy of your registration schedule from online services.
