Accepting Additional Students
After the application period ends, we will post the list of seminars with open seats on our website and encourage first-year students to contact instructors for approval to enroll. Please let us know if you’d like us not to post your seminar on the list.Adding Students and My.Harvard Registration
Please download your preliminary class list from our application site. Students on this preliminary list were already accepted by you and will be enrolled by the registrar's office and no further action by you or the student is required. We regret that we cannot keep track of the students who add or drop your seminar. Enrollment lists will be viewable in My.Harvard.
Please remember that students will not be able to enroll in your first-year seminar until you go online to give your approvalto their petitions in the My.Harvard.edu website. Please log into the Teaching Portal in My.Harvard Teaching/Advising Portal. Student petitions are with the courses listed at the bottom of the page. Please click here for instructions about the petitions process. Your official class list will be found here on the portal.
Course Registration Deadline
Adding any students to your seminar by email: instructors must "approve" a student's online petition from My.Harvard to allow them to enroll officially in a seminar.
