Report on Grading

In May 2022, in response to growing concerns among the Faculty over rising grades, Dean Rakesh Khurana commissioned the Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE) to compile a report on grading at Harvard College to present recent grade data and possible approaches to addressing Faculty concerns.

Registration

Beginning with registration for Spring 2024 courses, students will now register for courses during the prior term. This will shift the timing of a variety of activities, including curricular planning, preparing Canvas sites, identifying classrooms, and scheduling sections.

Accommodations for Students

The Disability Access Office (DAO) is committed to an interactive process with faculty to implement student accommodations in ways that are appropriate to their course objectives.

Harvard supports responsible experimentation with generative AI tools, but there are important considerations to keep in mind when using these tools, including information security and data privacy, compliance, copyright, and academic integrity.
