The Office of Student Affairs at Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education provides holistic support for our students.

Embarking on an academic journey affects each person differently, presenting expected and unexpected difficulties along the way. We have provided a number of resources to help guide and support you during your time as a student with us.

Please refer to DCE’s COVID-19 Policies for information related to COVID vaccination policies, including any updates to the policy, and resources for members of the Harvard community.
