How to Read HKS Course Schedules
Courses Not Offered
If a course does not appear on the schedule, it will not be offered this term. The course schedule is tentative and subject to change.
Jointly Listed Courses
To avoid conflicts with your KSG courses, check carefully the times, locations, first & last day of class for courses offered jointly by the KSG and other Schools.
Cross Registration
Schedules at other Harvard faculties differ from the schedule at the Kennedy School. If you are cross registering into a class in a different faculty you must abide by the schedule of that faculty. Cross Registration deadlines are set by the school into which you are cross registering (not by the HKS.) Take these deadlines seriously.
Exams
The exam schedule is tentative and subject to change. Check the exam schedule for jointly listed courses carefully - some courses jointly listed with other schools have their exams at different times. You may not register for two courses that have exams scheduled at the same time. Students are expected to be available for the entire HKS exam period.
