The Office of Student Affairs at Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education provides holistic support and connection to resources for our students.
Embarking on an academic journey affects each person differently, presenting expected and unexpected difficulties along the way. The following is a collection of Academic Resources managed by various departments at DCE to support your student experience.
See the Harvard Extension School 2023-2024 Academic Calendar for important links and deadlines.
Career & Academic Resource Center
The Career and Academic Resource Center (CARC) offers free resources to all registered Harvard Extension School students. Featuring academic skills-building and career guidance webinars, skills improvement assessments and career services advising, CARC exists to help students advance their learning and to be better positioned in their careers during and after their time at HES.
Computer Lab at 53 Church Street
The Church Street Computer Facility provides computer labs and technology-rich classroom space to students and faculty of Harvard University Extension School and Harvard University Summer School. Extension School students can connect their own computers to the campus wired or wireless network. Computer labs and printers are also available at 53 Church Street.
HU Information Technology (HUIT)
Harvard University Information Technology (HUIT) is responsible for the strategy, planning, and delivery of information technology across the University. HUIT helps with things like setting up your Harvard email, connecting to wifi, help with your Harvard key, and much more! For more information, contact Harvard University Information Technology at (617) 495-7777 or ithelp@harvard.edu.
Library Resources
By registering for a course at the Harvard Extension School, you can take advantage of many Harvard Library benefits, including access to over 3,000 electronic databases and journals. All FAS libraries are open to active HES degree candidates and premedical program participants with a student ID card as well as currently registered HES students with a class participant library card.
Math Question Center
The best way to learn math is to do math. Although you are expected to do your best to complete course assignments yourself, there is a difference between wrestling with a math problem to reach new levels of understanding and struggling to the point of frustration and increased confusion. The Extension School offers the Math Question Center to support you in that journey!
The Writing Center
Whether you are a beginning or veteran writer, tutors at the Writing Center can help you look critically at your writing. Registered Extension School students can get help with many writing-related issues, such as organization, focus, style, grammar, citation of sources, documentation, and writing a thesis. The Writing Center offers online Zoom appointments.
