Due to Governor Baker’s emergency order, which is in effect Tuesday, March 24 at noon, campus access is restricted to essential access only. If you require access to campus and your access is essential for productively advancing teaching and learning or research activity please request building access here.
The Harvard Graduate School of Education is working with the university to closely monitor the ongoing outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19). During the evolving situation, our top priority is the health and safety of community members, their families, and the public. We are also committed to supporting degree completion, and for our doctoral students, continued academic progress. Finally, we are dedicated to maintaining the community and our relationships with one another.
This is a fluid situation, and we will use this website and social media (Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook) to provide updates and resources for the entire community. Learn about HGSE guidance and resources specific to faculty, students, staff, and professional education participants and explore general information about HGSE’s response.
Please visit Harvard University’s coronavirus website for complete and up-to-date information on university policies and guidance.
