Special Notice Regarding Course Textbooks

Federal law now requires Harvard to disclose certain information about the textbooks instructors have assigned for courses at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.  The Harvard Coop has agreed to provide this information to students, who may access it via the Harvard University Course Catalog website.   Individual course pages on the Harvard University Course Catalog site contain hyperlinks to updated textbook information on the Coop’s website.

(Note: Once you have submitted a search for a course on the Harvard University Course Catalog website, several fields of information pertaining to that course will be rendered, one of which will be “Textbook Information.”  Within this field will be a link to “search the Harvard Coop for textbook information”, which will relay you to the Coop website domain.  To find GSE courses once within the Coop domain, utilize the “Buy Your Textbooks On-Line Today” functionality then – 1. select the appropriate term; 2. for department select “EDUC”  from the drop down list; 3. select a course; 4. select section “01”.  Then select the "Continue" button.  Repeat this process to add courses OR proceed to “Review Your Courses” and select the “view textbook list” button.)
