Accepting Additional Students
After the application period ends, we will post the list of seminars with open seats on our website on Thursday, August 25, 1:00pm and encourage first-year students to email you directly to request a spot. By default, we will not include your seminar on the list of those with open seats if you have two or fewer seats available. Please let us know if you’d like us to do otherwise.Adding Students and My.Harvard Registration
Please note: if you accept students into your seminar via email, they will not appear on the preliminary class list. We regret that we cannot keep track of the students who add or drop your seminar via email. Please download your preliminary class list from our application site and use this to keep track of your open seats. 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.
For students that you are adding after the initial application period, please remember that added students will not be able to enroll in your freshman seminar until you go online to give your approval 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 process. Your official class list will be found here on the portal.
Course Registration Deadline - Thursday, August 25th
Regarding all students you add to your seminar by email: instructors must "approve" a student's online petition in to give permission to enroll officially in a seminar.
