We welcome students from other Harvard graduate schools and programs to cross-register into the Youth Advocacy and Policy Lab (Y-Lab) course Art of Social Change: Child Welfare, Education, and Juvenile Justice offered at Harvard Law School (“HLS”) each spring.
Procedures to Cross-Register
There is no course shopping period at Harvard Law School. To cross-register for a course students should follow the instructions on the Cross-Registration for Non-HLS students webpage and attend the first class. (Tufts and MIT students: please read these instructions carefully; the registration portals you use may differ.)
Cross-registration requests will be approved by course instructors in the order in which they are received. Once approved—and if there is space available—the HLS Registrar’s Office will admit you and send you an email that you have been enrolled. You are not enrolled in the course until you receive confirmation from the HLS Registrar.
All enrolled students need access to the online Canvas course page. After receiving a notice that you are enrolled, it will take several days for you to be added to Canvas. Important course announcements and assignments will be posted on the Canvas course page, so make sure you can access it. If you received an email from the HLS Registrar that you are enrolled in the course and you are still having problems, contact the ITS Service Desk:
- Phone: 617-495-0722
- Online: HLS Services Hub
- Walk in: WCC B020
Students enrolled in a course can drop the course by following the add/drop procedures outlined on the Cross-Registration for Non-HLS students webpage.
Keep in mind that the HLS grading system is H, P, LP and F (Honors, Pass, Low Pass, and Fail). Contact your Home School’s Registrar’s Office for information about how this course and the grade will appear on your official transcript.
Deadlines:
Cross registration deadlines for the Host and Home School may differ. All petitioners must be in compliance with the HLS Cross-Registration Calendar for Non-HLS Students.
