Summer Mailing
The following items are PDF files or links for the GSD summer mailing.
Items will be added and updated periodically to this page, so please
check back often.
NEW STUDENTS
New students had their HUIDs (Harvard University identification numbers) sent to their summer addreses in early June. This letter also explained the process of acquiring a Harvard PIN. Through the use of the HUID and PIN, students have access to a variety of secure, Harvard web sites that will allow for a smooth transition to life at the GSD. Please go to the PIN page once you have received your HUID and acquired your PIN. If you did not receive a letter, please call the Office of Student Services at 617-495-5453.
For incoming international students: International Student Orientation takes place on Monday, September 8, with sessions to introduce you to the Design School and to living in the U.S. It's also an opportunity to meet other foreign students before becoming immersed in your studies. Please remember to check in at the Harvard International Office (HIO) upon arriving on campus, and bring the blue slip that you'll receive from the HIO to the GSD on September 8.
A reminder to all incoming students: Please resolve all conditions to your admission before registration. Official copies of transcripts, test scores, grade reports, and any other required documentation must be received in the Admissions Office before registration in order to be cleared to register.
