As part of registration, you must provide your full legal name, legal sex, date of birth, native language, email address, postal mailing address, and emergency contact information. The name and date of birth you provide must match exactly the information printed on your passport or other government-issued photo ID. 

All critical school and course communications (e.g., class cancellations), registration information (e.g., notice of admission from a waitlist), and faculty communications are sent via email. You are responsible for maintaining an active email address and ensuring that the address is correct in MyDCE throughout your Summer School registration and enrollment. 

To protect the privacy and security of your student records, you must provide an email address that is unique and not shared with any other person. Duplicate email addresses will be inactivated. As a Summer School student, you are eligible to create a unique Harvard email account if you prefer not to use a private email address. Your Harvard email account will expire at the end of the summer session(s) for which you are enrolled; accounts are not eligible for extension. 

You may view and change your contact information through MyDCE. You may also view your biographical information via MyDCE, but to report a legal name change, a birth date correction, or changes to other biographical information, you must submit a Biographical Information Changes form with specified documentation to the Registrar’s Office. 

You are responsible for the accuracy of all biographical and contact information that you provide, or another person provides on your behalf, to the Harvard Summer School and Extension School. Honesty in all communications, including self-representation, is a requirement of student enrollment. Submission of fraudulent information is subject to review by the Administrative Board and may be grounds for disciplinary action.
