Student Access to Courses
In selecting class members, instructors are expected to follow the procedure established by the faculty to ensure that access to classes or seminars with a limited enrollment is as fair as possible. For non-studio courses where the demand exceeds capacity, a lottery will be conducted to allocate places for interested students. Students in all programs of the GSD are to be treated equally for admission to limited-enrollment courses, but are given preference over students from other Harvard schools or MIT. Occasional exceptions to this rule may be made in the case of a course required for students in the MDesS, DDes, or PhD programs, or when a faculty member chooses to allow students from outside the school to enroll for pedagogical reasons.
