Introduction

This student handbook is provided to inform you of the academic policies and rules of conduct that apply to resident and nonresident Summer School students. It also describes resources available at Harvard and opportunities available in the Greater Boston area that will help make your summer a rewarding one. Please read the handbook carefully and keep it for reference throughout the summer. The Harvard Summer School is governed by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, which approves its curriculum and instructional staff. The academic policies and student regulations of the Summer School are consistent with those in effect during the regular academic year. The Administrative Board for Harvard Summer School decides on exceptions to the stated rules and on matters of discipline arising during the summer session. The chief administrative officer of the Summer School is the Dean of the Summer School, who is responsible for all aspects of its operation. Mat- ters relating to course enrollment, academic services, and final exams are the responsibilities of the Registrar. The Office of the Dean of Students serves as the principal source of information about Summer School policies and procedures, directs student housing and activities, and provides information on resources and activities in Cambridge and Boston. If you have questions about any of the Summer School rules, policies, or resources that are described in this handbook, please call upon the staff for assistance or advice. On behalf of the Summer School faculty and staff, I wish you a rewarding and challenging summer experience.

Information for Summer Study Abroad Students

Students enrolled in Harvard Summer School Study Abroad programs are considered Harvard students for the duration of their program. As such, they are bound by all the rules and policies outlined in this handbook. Students and faculty on Summer Study Abroad programs may consult with the Office of the Dean of Students on any questions regarding academic rules and student conduct. Faculty program directors will provide students with logistical information for individual programs, including living arrangements, security considerations, local services and facilities, access to Harvard’s computer network, and special activities and programs. They will also have information about the academic calendar as it applies to each program, including program- specific dates for course credit status change and withdrawal. These dates differ for each program, and are also different from the Cambridge summer academic calendar, so please be sure to consult with your program director about the specifics for your particular program.

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing Academic Rules

Academic Rules Student Responsibilities The policies and procedures described in this handbook apply to all Harvard Summer School students. Failure to read the handbook and the 2007 Summer School catalogue, negligence, personal factors, or contradictory information from any source does not excuse students from the policies and procedures herein described. Students should call Academic Services at (617) 495-0977 if they have questions about Summer School policies and procedures.

Attendance and Required Withdrawal from a Course The Harvard Summer School expects credit students to be active and engaged participants by attending all classes, taking all exams, and completing all coursework on time. Students enrolled in EXPO S-C, GMAT S-1, and courses offered by the Institute for English Language (IEL) Programs are also expected to attend all classes and complete all coursework. Students may submit late work only with the instructor’s approval and according to the instructor’s policies regarding grading and awarding credit for late work. The Registrar’s Office may cancel the registration of students who miss their first class meetings. A student who neglects coursework, is inadequately prepared, or disrupts the course’s progress with inappropriate behavior may, after written warning by the instructor, be required to withdraw from the course by the Adminis- trative Board for Harvard Summer School, and may be excluded from future courses at Harvard Summer School and Harvard Extension School. Required withdrawal from a course is equivalent in all respects to failing it; the student is assigned a grade of RQ (required to withdraw) and earns no credit for the course. No tuition, room and board, or fees are refunded to students who are required to withdraw.

Academic Integrity Harvard Summer School expects students to understand and maintain high standards of academic integrity. Students suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to review and disciplinary action by the Administrative Board. Examples of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to the following: Plagiarism Plagiarism is the theft of someone else’s ideas and work. Whether a student copies another person’s words verbatim or simply rephrases the ideas of another without properly acknowledging the source, the theft is the same. A computer program written as part of the student’s academic work is, like a paper, expected to be the student’s original work and subject to the same standards of representation. In the preparation of work submitted to meet course requirements—whether a draft or a final version of a paper, project, take-home exam, computer program, or other written assignment—students must take great care to distinguish their own ideas and language from information derived

10 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Academic Rules

from sources. Sources include published primary and secondary materials, the Internet, and information and opinions gained directly from other people. Whenever ideas or facts are derived from a student’s reading and research, the sources must be properly cited. It is the student’s responsibility to learn the proper forms of citation according to standards delineated by Harvard University. This is true even for students from other countries who may have been taught to use sources in other ways. Copies of Writing with Sources: A Guide for Harvard Students and Writing with Internet Sources: A Guide for Harvard Students, both prepared by Harvard’s Expository Writing Program, are distributed to all students. Additional copies are available at Information Services, 51 Brattle Street, first floor lobby. Students who have questions about the standards of scholarly writing should speak with their instructors before beginning research on assigned papers and projects. Cheating Students may not copy another student’s assignment, computer program or parts of a program, or exam. No communication is allowed between students during an exam, and no student is permitted to keep electronic devices, books, papers, calculators, computers, or notes during an exam except with the permission of the instructor or proctor. Unauthorized Collaboration Collaboration in the completion of written assignments is prohibited unless explicitly permitted by the instructor. Students must acknowledge any collaboration and its extent in all submitted coursework. Submission of Work for More Than One Course It is expected that all work submitted for a course will have been done solely for that course. A student may not submit the same or similar work to any other course without the prior written permission of the instructors involved.

Appropriate Use of Computer Networks Information stored on a computer system or sent electronically over a network is the private property of the individual who created it. Examination, collec- tion, or dissemination of that information without authorization from the owner is a violation of the owner’s right to control his or her own property. Computers and networks provide mechanisms for protecting private information; attempts to circumvent these mechanisms to gain unauthorized access to private information are treated as violations of privacy. Students are eligible for Harvard computer accounts primarily for educational use. Accounts are considered to have tangible value. Attempts to circumvent the accounting system, to use the accounts of others without authorization, or to use accounts for other than their intended purposes are all forms of attempted theft. Students should not disclose account passwords or otherwise

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 11 Academic Rules

make accounts available to others. Use of Harvard’s computers and networks for commercial purposes without authorization is prohibited. Students should not interfere with the functioning of a computer system or disrupt or distract others using computers. Use of an e-mail system to send fraudulent, annoying, or obscene messages is prohibited. Similarly, messages must not misrepresent the identity of the sender, be sent as chain letters, or broadcast indiscriminately to large numbers of people. It is the student’s responsibility to learn the rules for appropriate use of computers and networks. Policies are published in Computer Rules and Responsibilities, available at Science Center B-13, 51 Brattle Street, 53 Church Street, and www.fas.harvard.edu/computing/hascs/rules.shtml. Certain computer misconduct is prohibited under Massachusetts law and is, therefore, subject to criminal penalties. Such misconduct includes know- ingly gaining unauthorized access to a computer system or database, falsely obtaining electronic services or data without payment of required charges, and destroying electronically processed, stored, or in-transit data.

Examinations Final Examinations Final examinations are generally three hours long and are administered according to a schedule set by the Registrar. Exams run from Monday afternoon, August 13 through Friday morning, August 17 for the eight-week session; Thursday, July 19 through Friday, July 20 for short session I; and Thursday, August 16 for short session II. Preliminary final examination schedules are printed on page 93 of the Summer School catalogue. Instructors will inform students of the exact date, time, and location of their final examination. Only registered undergraduate- and graduate-credit students are allowed to take final examinations and submit final papers and projects. Students must take final examinations at the scheduled time unless Academic Services approves a student’s appeal for a make-up final exam. Grades are not accepted for students who violate this policy. A student who is more than 15 minutes late for a final examination may be refused admission and reported as absent. Students who attend a final examination and do not submit a bluebook or exam sheet are assigned a grade of E (failing) for that examination. Students who attend the examination and are unable to complete it for any reason will be assigned an E, or zero, for the incomplete portions of the examination. These students are not eligible for a make-up examination in the course. Take-Home Examinations Students who miss the deadline for a take-home final examination should call their instructor immediately. Students may be required to appeal for a proctored make-up examination, request an extension of time (EXT) grade and submit a new take-home exam, or they may be assigned a failing grade for the final exam depending on the instructor’s take-home exam policy.

12 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Academic Rules

Distance Education Many distance education courses have in-class midterm and final exams. Stu- dents whose primary residence throughout the term is in the six-state New England area (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) are expected to take their exams on campus as scheduled. Students who live outside New England may travel to campus for their exams or arrange to take their exams in absentia with a proctor. See Distance Education on the Summer School website for proctored exam guidelines. For more information send e-mail to [email protected], or call (617) 495-0977. Exam Conflicts Time conflicts. If a student has two final exams scheduled for the same day and time, Academic Services will reschedule one exam for a different time on the same day. Students should contact Academic Services at (617) 495-0977 at least two weeks before the exam period. Students may also complete an exam conflict form available at 51 Brattle Street and on the Summer School website. Absences for religious reasons. A student who is unable to take any exam on a particular day because of his or her religious beliefs may take a make-up exam without penalty. Students are expected to anticipate religious conflicts. Accommodations are not possible if the conflict is reported after the exam. Students are advised to call Academic Services at (617) 495-0977 with questions at least one week before the exam. Make-up Exams Make-up final exams are approved and administered through Academic Services for students who are unable to take their final exams as scheduled because of documented serious illness or compelling circumstances of an unexpected nature. Make-up final exams are not approved for students who miss exams because of negligence, misinformation, lack of preparation, poor attendance, personal conflicts, or vacation, or for students who have two exams on the same day or consecutive days. Students must be in good standing in courses for which the make-up exam is requested. Students may appeal for make-up exams by submitting completed make-up exam forms that are available online and at 51 Brattle Street. They should do this as soon as possible and no later than three days after their missed exam. Original documentation explaining the reason for missing the final exam must accompany the appeal. Documentation must be on official letterhead and include specific dates. Medical documentation must be based on a physical exam within three days of the missed exam. There is a $25 nonrefundable processing fee for each make-up exam request, which must be included with the appeal. Students are advised to call Academic Services before submitting appeals.

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 13 Academic Rules

Make-up exams are not available in courses offered by the Institute for English Language Programs. Students who begin an exam but do not complete it for any reason, including illness, are not eligible for a make-up exam. Make-up exams are administered at 51 Brattle Street on Saturday, Sep- tember 8, 2007 for local students. A student who does not take the make-up exam as scheduled is assigned a failing grade for the exam. Make-Up Exams in Absentia Students who cannot travel to Cambridge for their make-up exams may appeal to take their exams in absentia at their home institutions. In addition to following the procedures outlined above, students must include with their appeal the name, title, business address, and daytime telephone number of the person who will proctor their exam. Exam proctors can be teachers, professors, or administrators in secondary schools, colleges, universities, or testing centers. They cannot be family members, friends, or coworkers. Any fees incurred are the student’s responsibility. Students with questions should call Academic Services at (617) 495-0977.

IEL Post Tests Institute for English Language (IEL) Programs post tests are administered in the final IEL class meetings on Wednesday, August 15 and Thursday, August 16. Students must arrive on time; no latecomers will be admitted. There is no make-up for the post test.

Grades Letter Grades The following letter grades are assigned both to undergraduate- and graduate- credit students. These grades reflect the quality and quantity of work submitted throughout the term according to the following grading standards: A and A– grades represent work whose superior quality indicates a full mastery of the subject. An A represents work of extraordinary distinction. B+, B, and B– grades represent work of good to very good quality but that does not merit special distinction. C+, C, and C– grades indicate an average command of the course material. D+, D, and D– grades indicate work that shows a deficiency in knowledge of the material. E is a failing grade representing work that deserves no credit. E may also be assigned to students who do not submit required work in courses from which they have not officially withdrawn by the withdrawal deadline.

14 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Academic Rules

Noncompletion Grades Students enrolled in courses for credit are expected to complete all coursework on time. Students who do not complete a course by the end of the term may receive one of the following noncompletion grades: *** is an interim grade notation assigned by Academic Services to students with cases pending before the Administrative Board. EXT (extension of time) is an interim grade that may be requested by credit students who, due to extenuating circumstances, need additional time to submit written work (not the classroom final exam) after the course has ended. Instructors may approve or deny requests for extensions of time in accordance with their grading policies. Approved requests must be documented on forms that are available at 51 Brattle Street and on the Summer School website. Instructors establish a new due date; however, the latest deadline they may set is September 14 for the eight-week session and Short Session II courses and August 17 for Short Session I courses. Students who do not submit the work by the due date are assigned an E for missing assignment(s). Students are responsible for submitting the completed Academic Services copy to 51 Brattle Street before the start of the final exam period in the session in which the course is taught (see calendar). MU (make-up final exam) is an interim grade assigned by Academic Services to students whose appeal for a make-up final exam is approved. This notation is changed to a letter grade when the student takes the make- up exam. Students who do not take the make-up exam as scheduled are assigned an E, or zero, for that exam. WD (withdrawal) is a permanent final grade assigned to credit students who officially withdraw by the withdrawal deadline for their session (see the Academic Calendar for exact dates). Courses in which students have been assigned WD grades are not included in the calculation of enrollment status. WD grades may not be changed to letter grades and do not result in any tuition refund. RQ (required to withdraw) indicates the student was required to withdraw from the course by vote of the Summer School Administrative Board. Courses in which students have been assigned RQ grades are not included in the calculation of enrollment status. RQ grades are equivalent to failing grades and do not result in any tuition refund.

Grade Changes All grades, with the exception of EXT, MU, and asterisk (***) grades, are considered final when they are submitted to Academic Services. Students should ask their instructors for explanations of their grades if they believe

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 15 Academic Rules

errors were made. Students may not submit extra work or resubmit work to improve a final grade. Letter grades can be changed only if there is clear evidence of a computational or clerical error that is documented in writing by instructors. Grades can not be changed after November 2. While students may request an explanation of their grades, they may not harass instructors about grades. Repeatedly calling instructors about grades or points on exams, or telling instructors that a certain grade is needed may be considered harassment and, therefore, subject to Administrative Board review (see page 21). IEL Programs Courses Grades are not assigned to students enrolled in IEL courses. Instead, IEL students are assigned one of the following notations, which can be viewed online and on transcripts that students request: AR (met all requirements) is assigned to students with active classroom participation, completion of all assignments, and perfect attendance for the term. MR (met most requirements) is assigned to students with satisfactory classroom participation, completion of most assignments, and good attendance for the term. NM (did not meet requirements) is assigned to students who fail to meet the course requirements. Noncredit courses All courses in which students are enrolled for noncredit (including IEL courses) are part of the students’ permanent records. Students who voluntarily withdraw from noncredit courses by the published deadline are assigned the notation WN (noncredit withdrawal) for those courses. Grades Online Grades are available online beginning August 29. To review their grades, students may use their Summer School student ID number and registration PIN or they may use their Harvard University ID number (on Harvard ID card) and Harvard University PIN. See page 36 for information about PINs. Printed grade reports will be mailed to students only upon request. Students should contact Academic Services at (617) 495-0977 for more information.

Transcripts The transcript is the student’s complete and official Division of Continuing Education academic record. It includes all credit and noncredit Summer School and Extension School courses the student has taken, all credit course grades, and notations for IEL courses taken during Summer School 2003 or later. Where appropriate, the transcript also includes information about

16 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Academic Rules

administrative and disciplinary withdrawals, Extension School degree and certificate programs, and academic standing. Official transcripts are embossed and signed by the Registrar. They may be sent directly to third parties or to students in signed, sealed enve- lopes for delivery to third parties. Student copies are unofficial and are neither embossed nor signed. They are marked Issued to Student and are sent directly to the student. Transcript Request Requests for transcripts must be made in writing or by fax. Telephone and e-mail requests are not accepted. Requests may be submitted by letter or on transcript request forms available online and at 51 Brattle Street. All requests must be signed by the student whose records are being requested and must include name, address, daytime telephone number, student ID number, and full addresses of all intended recipients. Requests should be mailed or delivered in person to Academic Services, Harvard Summer School, 51 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138-3722 or faxed to (617) 495-3662. Students should allow at least 48 hours from the date of receipt for processing. While students may submit requests for transcripts throughout the term, transcripts with summer 2007 courses and grades will not be available until September 4, 2007. There is no charge for these records. Official transcripts are not issued to third parties for students who have not met their financial and library obligations to Harvard University. Unof- ficial transcripts are issued directly to these students. They include a statement that the student has an outstanding obligation to the University.

Loan Deferments and Letters of Enrollment Harvard Summer School submits student enrollment information to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) which, in turn, supplies verification of enrollment to lending agencies. Lenders and loan-servicing organizations that are members of the NSC process deferments electronically and do not require paper confirmation of student enrollment. Students may deliver, mail, or fax their deferment forms to Academic Services if their lender and loan servicing agency do not accept electronic deferments. Academic Services will forward the deferment forms to the NSC for processing. Students may request letters of enrollment for any term in the current academic year to Academic Services in writing or on forms available at 51 Brattle Street and on the Summer School website. Letters of enrollment are not issued for students who have not met their financial obligations to Harvard University. While requests for letters of enrollment and loan deferments may be submitted throughout the current term, they are not processed until after July 10 for students in the eight-week session, July 5 for students in short session I, and July 31 for students in short session II.

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 17 Academic Rules

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 Both Summer School policy and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) as amended, provide students with certain protections concerning the confidentiality of their educational records. No information about Summer School students, except that which is defined below as directory information, will be released outside the University without the student’s prior written consent unless otherwise authorized or required by law. This includes students’ parents, guardians, and other family members. Harvard Summer School defines the following student information as directory information: name; date of birth; Harvard University ID image; on-campus phone number; dates of enrollment; full- or part-time status; and Harvard Extension School degree, certificate, or diploma program, area of concentration, prior degrees and schools attended, academic honors, and expected or actual date of graduation. Students have the right to withhold the disclosure of this information. No information is released about students who have requested the Summer School to withhold the disclosure of directory information, unless otherwise authorized or required by law. Students should carefully consider this decision because once they choose to withhold directory information, it will not be released to anyone, including prospective employers seeking confirmation of enrollment. Under FERPA, the Harvard Summer School is allowed to disclose, without the student’s prior written consent, student information that is not considered directory information to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by Harvard University in an administrative, teaching, research, law enforcement, or health services position or a person or company with whom the University has contracted. In determining whether an official has a legitimate educational interest, the Harvard Summer School considers if disclosure of the information is appropriate for the effective functioning of the person’s office, position, or University. Students have the right to inspect and review their educational records. To do so, they should submit written requests to Academic Services identify- ing the records they wish to inspect. Academic Services contacts students to arrange for access to their educational records within 45 days of receipt of their requests. Students should call Academic Services at (617) 495-0977 for more information. Students have the right to request the amendment of their educational records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of their privacy or other rights. Academic Services will notify students of the decision concerning their requests and advise students of their right to a hearing if they continue to disagree with the content of their educational records.

18 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Academic Rules

Students have the right to file a complaint with the US Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Harvard Summer School to comply with FERPA. Such complaints may be submitted in writing to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202.

Student Right to Appeal The Financial and Registration Committee meets weekly throughout the term to review student appeals for exceptions to Summer School registration policies and procedures. Appeals are considered when there are no other options available (for example, course withdrawals or extensions of time) and there are documented and compelling reasons to grant exceptions. Negligence, employ- ment issues, software and hardware difficulties, routine illness, unsatisfactory progress, lack of preparation or failure to meet course prerequisites, financial constraints, and vacation plans are not considered compelling reasons for seeking exemptions to policies and procedures. Only complete appeals for the current term are considered. Appeals should be submitted within the term on forms that are available at 51 Brattle Street and on the Summer School website. Appropriate written documentation on official letterhead, all fees and tuition, relevant registration forms, and a nonrefundable $25 processing fee must accompany each appeal. Students should call the student appeals assistant at (617) 495-0977 to discuss exact procedures for submitting an appeal.

Student Conduct

All students are expected to conduct themselves honestly, responsibly, and with due consideration for others at all times while enrolled in Harvard Summer School (including Summer Abroad programs), whether or not they are on campus. The Summer School Administrative Board will review the actions of students who are alleged to have behaved inappropriately, for example, those who are charged with harassment; infringing on the rights of others; violating the rules and regulations of the Summer School or any University department; behaving inappropriately toward Summer School or University faculty, staff, or fellow students; abusing University computer resources; destroying or defacing University property; misrepresenting themselves or their University affiliation; or disturbing orderly academic functions and processes. (Academic dishonesty, including plagiarism and cheating, is also subject to disciplinary review by the Administrative Board: see page 21.) Because students are expected to show good judgment and use common sense at all times, not all categories of misconduct are set forth above. The Administrative Board may, in accordance with the policies and procedures set out below, impose disciplinary sanctions on Summer School students for conduct that violates these expectations, including required withdrawal from the Summer School.

Dean of Students and Staff The Office of the Dean of Students is responsible for Summer School students who are living on or off campus. The office serves as the principal source of information about student conduct, on-campus housing, Summer School activities, and a number of resources and activities in the New England area. Resident students who have questions or problems should turn first to their proctors. Matters not easily resolved will be referred to the assistant dean, who has overall responsibility for the unit and must approve all House or dormitory activities. Secondary School Program students also may meet with the director of the Secondary School Program. Commuting students with questions or problems should speak to Robert Neugeboren, assistant dean of students. Disciplinary cases are referred first to theDeans Council, which consists of the dean of the Summer School, the dean of students, the director of the Secondary School Program, and the assistant deans. Students involved in disciplinary cases may be asked to provide a written statement. The Deans Council may take any of the following final actions: 1. take no action, 2. issue a letter of reprimand, 3. place a student on probation, or 4. require a student to withdraw from Harvard housing.

20 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Student Conduct

Cases that, in the judgment of the Deans Council, may lead to a required withdrawal from the Summer School are referred to the Administrative Board. However, as stated below, in cases involving the use or possession of alcohol or illegal drugs by a Secondary School Program student, a subcommittee of the Administrative Board (comprising the dean of the Summer School, the dean of students, and the director of the Secondary School Program) may immediately require the student to withdraw from the Summer School.

Administrative Board The dean of the Summer School is chair of the Summer School Administra- tive Board. The Board includes Summer School senior administrators, members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the dean of students, the registrar, and the director of the Secondary School Program. The Administrative Board will review any written statements submitted by students involved in a case. The Administrative Board may take any of the actions open to the Deans Council and may also require a student to withdraw from the Summer School. Requirement to withdraw is normally effective immediately. In cases involving alcohol or drug violations by Secondary School Program students, or neglect of studies, absence from or disruption of class by any Summer School student, a subcommittee of the Board (comprising the dean of the Summer School, the dean of students, and the director of the Secondary School or other academic program), may take disciplinary action on behalf of the Board. Ordinarily, no tuition, room and board, or fees are refunded to students who are required to withdraw. When students are required to withdraw for disciplinary reasons, they are assigned a grade of RQ (required to withdraw) for the course, which becomes part of their permanent academic record. In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the Summer School may also report its disciplinary actions to students’ home institutions or to schools in which they intend to enroll. A student whose conduct is under review for possible disciplinary action by the Administrative Board will not ordinarily be permitted to withdraw voluntarily from the Summer School. Assistant deans advise students of their rights and counsel them on how to proceed through the disciplinary process. Students who feel that they will not be fairly represented by their assistant dean may request that the dean of students act as their advocate. Copies of Summer School procedures for addressing peer disputes are available at 51 Brattle Street. In the event that serious disciplinary action is taken against a student in the Secondary School Program, the program director ordinarily will notify the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the student.

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 21 Student Conduct

Administrative Withdrawal A student may be administratively withdrawn from the Summer School in the following circumstances: (1) the student has been arrested on allegations of serious criminal behavior, or has been formally charged by law enforcement authorities with such behavior; or (2) the student allegedly has violated a disciplinary rule of the Summer School and, in the School’s judgment, the student’s continued presence poses a significant risk to safety or to the educational environment of the community. With respect to students enrolled in Study Abroad programs, the Summer School’s judgment as to when administrative withdrawal is appropriate may take into account the remoteness of the program, any particular circumstances or risks associated with the international location in question, and the limitations on resources or staffing capabilities of the program. The student will be informed of the decision in writing, and may request reconsideration. Administrative withdrawal is not a disciplinary action and may be accompanied by partial tuition refund.

Alcohol and Drugs The minimum drinking age in Massachusetts is 21. In order to be served or provided an alcoholic beverage, students must demonstrate proof of minimum drinking age by presenting an ID that includes date of birth or by surrender- ing their Summer School ID card for verification. Students who make false statements about their age, transfer or abuse their IDs, or make alcohol available to someone underage are subject to Summer School disciplinary action, including probation or the requirement to withdraw from Summer School. Harvard expects its students and employees to maintain an environment that is safe and healthy. The unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees on Harvard property or as a part of any Harvard activity are violations of University rules as well as the law. Possession, use, or distribution of certain non-prescription drugs, including marijuana, amphetamines, heroin, cocaine, and non-prescription synthetics; unauthorized possession, use, or distribution of prescription drugs; procurement or distribution of alcohol by anyone under 21 years of age; and provision of alcohol to anyone under 21 years of age are violations of the law and of Harvard policy. Making false statements about one’s age or transferring or falsifying one’s identification with the intent of purchasing alcohol also are violations of the law and of Harvard policy. The University holds its students and employees responsible for the consequences of their decisions to use or distribute illicit drugs or to serve or consume alcohol. The Summer School may take disciplinary action against students who violate these rules, including requirement to withdraw. Students of legal drinking age in Massachusetts who wish to serve alcohol must follow these additional rules: When alcohol is present, it must be served in an illuminated area separate from service places for nonalcoholic

22 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Student Conduct

beverages but near enough to make the choice clear. Nonalcoholic beverages and food must always be available when alcohol is served. Alcohol may not be served or consumed in public areas of a student residence. Beer kegs are forbidden in Harvard Summer School residences. Failure to follow these rules may result in disciplinary action, including requirement to withdraw. Medical and psychiatric help on a confidential basis is available at Uni- versity Health Services for residential students with drug or alcohol problems. Any member of the University may use this service on an emergency basis, day or night. When help is sought by or on behalf of a student in need of emergency care, the Summer School will favorably weigh such efforts in considering any possible disciplinary consequences. Note: See additional rules for secondary school students on page 29.

Firearms and Combustible Materials Firearms or ammunition, explosives, combustible fuels, firecrackers, and potential ingredients thereof are forbidden from University property.

Guests and Hosts Resident students who wish to have overnight guests must obtain the prior written consent of their suitemates and proctor. Overnight guest forms are available from the proctor. No guest may remain for more than two nights. The host assumes full responsibility for the conduct of the guest and is subject to disciplinary sanctions for the guest’s misconduct. Overnight guest procedures for secondary school students are described on page 29.

Harassment A fundamental goal of the Summer School is to foster an environment in which its members may live and work productively together. Therefore, any form of discrimination, including but not limited to that based on race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, sex, or sexual orientation, constitutes unacceptable behavior. The Summer School subscribes to the definition of sexual harassment adopted by the Faculty Council of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences: Sexual harassment is a barrier to the educational, scholarly, and research purposes of the University. The determination of what constitutes sexual harassment will vary with the particular circumstances, but it may generally be described as unwanted sexual behavior, such as physical contact or verbal comments or suggestions, which adversely affect the working or learning environment of an individual. The Summer School subscribes to the definition of racial harassment adopted by Harvard College:

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 23 Student Conduct

Racial harassment is any action on the part of an individual or group that causes another individual or group to feel demeaned or abused because of racial or ethnic background. Such actions may include but are not restricted to using racial epithets, making racially derogatory remarks, and using racial stereotypes. Any member of the Summer School community who believes that he or she has been harassed is encouraged to bring the matter to the attention of the dean of students or other Summer School officials, who will take appropriate steps to address the complaint.

Hazing Massachusetts law expressly prohibits any form of hazing in connection with initiation into a student organization. The law applies both to officially recognized and unrecognized groups and to practices conducted on and off campus. The term hazing, as used in this law, is defined as “any conduct or method of initiation . . . which willfully or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of any student or other person.” The definition specifically includes “whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the weather, forced consumption of any food, liquor, beverage, drug, or other substance, or any other brutal treatment or forced physical activity which is likely to adversely affect the physical health or safety of any such student or other person, or which subjects such student or other person to extreme mental stress, including extended deprivation of sleep or rest or extended isolation” [Massachusetts General Laws, c.269 § 17–18]. Hazing and the failure to report hazing are crimes punishable by fine and imprisonment. The Administrative Board will consider all reports of hazing in the normal course of its oversight, taking disciplinary action in appropriate cases, and will report confirmed incidents to appropriate law enforcement officials. A memorandum detailing the specifics of this law is available in the Dean of Students Office, (617) 495-3481.

Honesty The Summer School expects that all students will be honest and forthcoming in their dealings with the members of this community. Further, the Summer School expects that students will provide accurate information on Summer School forms and online processes and will answer truthfully questions put to them by a properly identified official of the University. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to requirement to withdraw from the Summer School.

ID Cards All registered students taking courses on the Harvard campus receive photo identification (ID) cards, which they must carry at all times. Extension School

24 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Student Conduct

degree and certificate candidates will not be issued an additional Summer School ID card and should continue to use their Extension School ID card throughout the summer. ID cards are the property of Harvard University and are intended for University purposes only. Students must give up ID cards upon request to any properly identified official of the University, including proctors. No student may allow any other person to use his or her ID card for any purpose. Every student is responsible for his or her ID and for the consequences of misuse. Lost or stolen ID cards should be reported immediately to the Summer School Registrar’s Office in 51 Brattle Street where a request for a replacement card will be issued. Students who cannot report the lost or stolen card immediately should deactivate their card on the Identification and Data Services website, www.huid.harvard.edu, and proceed to 51 Brattle Street to complete an ID card request form as soon as possible. Students must bring the ID card request form to Harvard University Identification and Data Services, 953 Holyoke Center, where the new card will be issued. The ID Office is open Monday and Wednesday–Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, and Tuesday 10:30 am to 5 pm. A $20 fee is charged for each replacement card (payable to Harvard University). This fee will be waived for stolen cards if the student provides a copy of the police report.

Motor Vehicles and Bicycles Parking. As soon as they arrive, students are required to register any motor vehicles with the University Parking Office at 46 Blackstone Street. Both resident and nonresident students may apply for parking permits. Daily parking rates are $9 per day or $5 after 5 pm; eight-week session rates are $300 for the 24-hour garage, $155 for the commuter garage, and $50 for the night garage. Permits are sold beginning Monday, June 25 at 8 am in the Parking Office at 46 Blackstone Street. Regular office hours are 8 am–5 pm.

Permission forms for parties are available from proctors. Kegs of beer are not permitted in Harvard residences. No parties are permitted during the final week of Summer School, beginning the prior Friday. College-age students may not invite or entertain secondary school students to or in their lodgings, nor may college-age students visit secondary school dormitories. Note: Students in the Secondary School Program are subject to additional rules outlined on page 29.

Posters and Publications Notices may be placed only on Yard kiosks, mail center bulletin boards, and entryway bulletin boards. The dean of students must approve and initial all such notices and posters before they are posted. Printed matter may be distributed in University buildings only with the approval of the dean of students. No student may be connected with any advertising medium or publication that uses the name of Harvard or implies, without permission of the Univer- sity, through its title or otherwise, a connection with the University.

Respect for Property Students will, at all times, show proper regard for the property of others and for Harvard University property. Students may not engage in activities that damage or endanger University property including classrooms, laboratories,

26 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Student Conduct

residential areas, libraries, and library materials. For example, they may not enter a vacant suite or room except in an emergency; they may not climb on scaffolding, walls, or roofs of University buildings; nor may they throw balls, Frisbees, or other projectiles, engage in other sports, or play boisterous games in or around any University building, including Harvard Yard and the House courtyards. Instances of theft, misappropriation, or unauthorized use of or damage to property or materials not one’s own will ordinarily result in disciplinary action, including requirement to withdraw from the Summer School.

Room Changes Students may not move from the rooms to which they have been assigned without permission from the Summer School. Students who change rooms without permission are subject to disciplinary action. Students with documented disabilities should speak with the disability services coordinator at (617) 495-0977 (voice) or (617) 495-9419 (TTY) if there are problems with their room assignment.

Room Regulations Upon occupancy, residents are requested to report in writing any damage to their room. The cost of repairs for subsequent room damage will be charged directly to the student. Occupants of rooms or suites are jointly responsible for loss or damage unless specific information establishes individual responsibility. University officers and Facilities Maintenance personnel may enter the rooms at any time for inspection, maintenance, or other University business. Students are expected to keep their rooms clean and in good order and abide by the following rules: 1. General program students (college age and older) may not visit the dormitories of Secondary School Program or other secondary school students, nor may they have secondary school students as guests in their rooms. 2. There is no smoking in Harvard residences or within 50 feet of Harvard buildings. Additional smoking restrictions may apply. 3. No nails, tacks, hooks, or tape may be used on walls, doors, moldings, ceilings, or floors; nothing with a glue back may be attached to walls or doors.

SSP students may not drink alcoholic beverages at local restaurants, bars, or private venues. SSP students may not attend parties or other gatherings where alcohol is served even if they do not drink. They also are forbidden to buy, use, or possess illegal drugs or to possess drug paraphernalia. An SSP student who possesses drug paraphernalia or is present while others are using illegal drugs, will be subject to disciplinary action. As stated above, in cases involving the use or possession of alcohol or illegal drugs by an SSP student, a subcommittee of the Administrative Board may immediately require the student to withdraw from the Summer School. 2. To obtain permission to have overnight guests, SSP students must file an overnight guest form with the program office by 4 pm the preceding Thursday.

32 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Safety and Security

Safety and Security

University Police ...... (617) 495-1212 The Harvard University Police Department is located at 1033 Massachusetts Avenue. The Harvard emergency phone system (blue-light phones) provides rapid access to the department. The University Police and security guard forces are trained and equipped to handle emergencies. As part of their role in crime prevention and detection, they provide a number of services, including emergency and nonemergency medical transportation, bicycle and laptop registration, safety escorts, and a sensitive crime unit to deal with domestic violence, harassment, identity theft, and sexual offenses. The University Police have full police authority; all incidents occurring on Harvard property, including obscene or annoying phone calls, should be reported to the department. In compliance with the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, the Harvard Summer School makes available to students the Harvard security guide, Playing It Safe. Students may pick up a copy of this guide in the Dean of Students Office at 51 Brattle Street or view it online at www.hupd.harvard.edu/prevention_handbook.php.

Fire ...... 911 In case of fire: 1. Sound the alarm. 2. Alert your neighbors. 3. Leave the building immediately. Do not try to put out the fire. Use common sense. Your safety is more important than property. If the alarm sounds: 1. Feel the door. a. If it is hot, do not open it. Stay in your room. Put a towel or blan- ket (preferably wet) under the door to keep the smoke out. If your telephone works, call the Fire Department at 911. Also call the University Police at (617) 495-1212 to let them know where you are. Attract attention to yourself. Open the window if possible and hang a sheet or other highly visible object out the window. b. If the door is not hot, open it slowly: smoke and fire gases are deadly. If smoke and heat fill the hall, stay in your room. 2. If you can leave your room safely, close your windows and door. Take your key. Leave by the nearest clear exit stairway. Never use the elevators. Do not reenter the building until the Fire Department gives permission.

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 33 Safety and Security

Note: Each room or suite is equipped with a smoke detector that sounds an alarm in that room only. In the event of fire, it is up to you to activate the nearest common area fire alarm to alert other residents and summon the fire department.

Fire Regulations 1. Smoking in all University buildings, including the residential Houses and dormitories, is prohibited. 2. Any abuse of or tampering with fire alarm, smoke detector, or extin- guisher systems is strictly forbidden. 3. Emergency doors between suites in Houses or dorms may be opened only by the building manager. Small red boxes (fire locks) separate the suites. It takes very little pressure to break the glass. Students breaking a fire lock for any reason other than emergency may be fined $30 and face disciplinary charges. 4. Fire escapes are intended for use only in case of fire; any other use is prohibited. 5. Flammable liquids and combustibles are not permitted in Houses or dormitories. 6. Falsely pulling any alarm or maliciously causing a smoke detector to initiate a general alert is illegal and may be punishable by a fine of $500 or imprisonment. 7. The use of candles and incense is prohibited in House and dormitory rooms and common areas. Note: Do not overload wiring; know emergency escape routes: fire doors, window exits, and fire escapes; learn locations of fire extinguishers and know how to use them.

Building Safety 1. Always keep your suite door locked. Do not prop open outside doors and do not allow anyone to enter your House or dorm behind you (“piggy- back in”) unless he or she can show a current Summer School ID. Report faulty locks to your building manager. 2. First-floor windows should be kept closed and locked to prevent entry when the room is unoccupied. At night, first floor windows may be locked in a partially open position. 3. Do not lend your room key to anyone. It is illegal to have copies made of room keys.

34 Harvard Summer School: www.summer.harvard.edu Safety and Security

4. No objects should be placed on outside window sills, ledges, or fire escapes. Nothing may be thrown from dormitory windows. 5. Students are not allowed to use fire safety equipment (hoses, extinguishers, fire escapes, etc.) except in an emergency. 6. Students may not have furnishings that constitute fire hazards or threats to safety. Note: Students and others who bring personal property onto University premises do so at their own risk. The University assumes no responsibility and will not be liable for any damage or loss or theft. The University urges students to obtain appropriate property insurance for valuable articles.

Personal Safety In the summer months, Harvard Square is a magnet for students, tourists, shoppers, and those who prey on them. To avoid being a victim of larceny, harassment, or worse: 1. Do not walk alone after dark. If you do not have a walking partner, use the Shuttle Van Service. See page 40 for details. 2. Do not carry large sums of money or valuables or wear expensive jewelry. 3. Do not leave your belongings unattended. 4. Do not visit the homes or ride in the cars of new acquaintances. 5. Do not invite new acquaintances to your House or dorm room. 6. Call the University Police, (617) 495-1212, if you see suspicious people or activities. 7. Always lock your bicycle when it is not in use. 8. Take one or more friends along when exploring the city. 9. Be alert when standing in crowds. 10. Exercise caution when crossing streets and intersections.

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 35 Services and Facilities

Services and Facilities Harvard Summer School Online Services www.summer.harvard.edu Summer school students are able to review and update their biographical, course schedule, housing, and financial information online, as well as view their grades and placement test scores. Online services are available seven days a week, except from 2 am to 5 am Eastern time. Students may login to Summer School online services in one of two ways. They may use their Summer School student ID number and their 6-digit Summer School registration PIN or they may use their Harvard University ID number (number printed on their Summer School ID card) and their Harvard University PIN (see next section). Students should note that the Summer School registration PIN is valid for access to the Summer School online services website only, and not any other Harvard University online resources. Students who don’t know their registration PIN may request it online, or in person at 51 Brattle Street upon presentation of a photo ID. To ensure the security of their Summer School records, students should keep their ID numbers and PINs confidential. Students who deliberately submit false information online are subject to disciplinary action.

Harvard University PIN and Electronic Resources Students who wish to open an FAS computer/e-mail account or access other electronic resources offered by the University need a Harvard University PIN to do so. The Harvard University PIN is different from the Summer School registration PIN and must be requested online at www.pin.harvard.edu. To request a Harvard University PIN, students need the first eight digits of their Harvard ID number (i.e., the number on their Summer School ID card), their last name, and their date of birth. Students then can elect to have their Harvard University PIN sent to them via US mail or e-mail. Please note that the Summer School does not administer and has no access to Harvard University PIN numbers; for assistance, send mail to [email protected] or call the University PIN Help Desk at (617) 496-9001 (Monday–Friday, 8 am–6 pm).

Harvard University Health Services The facilities of Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) in Holyoke Center are available during the summer session to students living on campus who are in need of care for urgent medical and/or mental health needs. These services are designed to meet acute needs only; supplementary services such as laboratory tests, X-rays, and physical therapy are provided only if advised by staff clinicians. Urgent outpatient primary, mental health, and dental care is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week; inpatient infirmary-level care is available to on-campus residents only upon referral by an HUHS physician.

Emergencies Any student experiencing symptoms of a medical emergency (e.g., chest pain, severe shortness of breath) should call 9-1-1 immediately. Urgent Primary Care 3rd Floor, (617) 495-2138 The Acute Triage and Treatment Clinic is open on weekdays from 8 am–5:30 pm for students with urgent medical concerns or symptoms. Students are advised to call first when possible to obtain advice from a nurse on duty, who may also facilitate making an appointment. Students seeking care after hours or on weekends for non-routine, urgent medical concerns should call the After Hours Urgent Care Clinic at (617) 495-5711 (see AHUCC below). Urgent Mental Health Care 4th floor, (617) 495-2042 Mental Health Services are available Monday through Friday, 8 am–6 pm for students with urgent mental health concerns. Students are advised to call first when possible to speak with a clinician on duty, who may facilitate making an appointment or a referral. Students seeking care after hours or on weekends for non-routine, urgent mental health concerns should call the After Hours Urgent Care Clinic at (617) 495-5711 (see AHUCC below). After Hours Urgent Care Clinic (AHUCC) 5th Floor, (617) 495-5711 The AHUCC is open nights, weekends, and holidays for 24-hour urgent care. Ideally, students should use the AHUCC for issues that cannot wait until regular clinic hours. Students who feel that they need medical or mental health attention but are not sure as to the urgency of the situation are advised to call first to obtain advice from the nurse on duty. The entrance to the AHUCC is midway down the parking ramp beneath Holyoke Center, accessible from both Dunster and Holyoke Streets; students who require transportation to the AHUCC are advised to call the Harvard University Police at (617) 495-1212.

Coverage The Summer School Program offers insurance coverage through HTH Worldwide Insurance Services that can be purchased for urgent/emergent care. We strongly recommend that students purchase this coverage to assist with payment of services offered at HUHS. Students who do not purchase this coverage are expected to provide their complete insurance information

Student Handbook & Guide to Computing 37 Services and Facilities

to the Summer School during the enrollment process and to HUHS at the time of service. All students presenting to HUHS for urgent/emergent care are required to provide their insurance identification card. For more information relating to insurance requirements and coverage, please see www.summer.harvard.edu/2007/enroll/start/financial/health.jsp. Confidentiality It is generally useful for the Summer School to know when a particular student has suffered a serious injury or illness, for such purposes as arranging academic relief or assuring that the student can return safely to residence. For this reason, it is the Summer School’s policy that HUHS will normally inform the Summer School when a student is admitted or discharged from its facilities or other area hospitals. In case of hospitalization, while HUHS will not share medical or mental health information concerning a student without that student’s consent in ordinary circumstances, HUHS will customarily notify the dean of students in the Summer School that the student has been admitted. HUHS will not, without the student’s consent, disclose any other information about the student, such as diagnosis or treatment, but will only inform the dean of students of the fact of the student’s admission. This information is intended to alleviate the concerns of the Summer School as to the student’s whereabouts and safety, and to allow communication with parents in the event that the parents have been unable to locate the student.

Disability Services The Summer School is committed to creating an accessible community where students with disabilities may fully benefit from its academic and residential programs. The Summer School makes reasonable accommodations for quali- fied students as stipulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Accommodations are services and auxiliary aides that provide students with equal access to programs without compromising essential elements. Services are confidential. The disability services coordinator approves services on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the student and faculty members, as appropriate. Accommodations may include extended time for exams, reformatted course materials, assigned note takers, CART reporters, sign-language interpreters, accessible and air-conditioned housing, accessible parking, van service, and assistive technology. Students should call the disability services coordinator as early as possible at (617) 495-0977 (voice) or (617) 495-9419 (TTY) or visit the office on the fifth floor at 51 Brattle Street. Requests for accommodations in study abroad programs were due April 27 and for all other programs June 8. For more information see the Summer School website at www.summer.harvard.edu/2007/campus/resources/disabilities.jsp.

Some FAS account holders may prefer to use an SSH client to run Pine to access their e-mail directly on an FAS server. More information about Pine can be found online at www.fas.harvard.edu/computing/kb/kb0830.html or at the Science Center Help Desk.

Printing Printing is free at 53 Church Street if you have an FAS computer account. To print from any of the laser printers located in the Science Center, you must have both an FAS computer account and money in your printing budget. Establishing a Science Center Printing Budget The Science Center charges $.05 per page for standard laser printing and $.15 per page for color printing. FAS account holders may use Crimson Cash, which is a debit account accessed through their Harvard ID, to transfer money to their printing budget. You may add Crimson Cash funds to your student ID card at any one of several value transfer stations located on campus or at www.cash.harvard.edu. You can increase your printing budget with a credit card using an online form: www.fas.harvard.edu/printing. Additionally, a user assistant at the Sci- ence Center Help Desk can help you transfer money from your Crimson Cash account to your printing budget. Any balance that remains in your printing budget at the end of the summer session is nonrefundable. You are responsible for monitoring your own printing budget.

Distance Education Courses The lectures for distance education courses are recorded and made available, along with related course materials, over the Internet using web-based mul- timedia technology. If you are registered for a distance education course, you have the option of attending the lectures on campus at Harvard or viewing them over the Internet no later than 48 hours after they take place. In addi-

tion to viewing the lectures, distance students participate in other aspects of the courses in much the same way as local students. Summer School policies, procedures, and deadlines outlined in the Sum- mer School catalogue and student handbook apply to all students who enroll in a distance learning course. In addition, students are responsible for making sure they have the necessary computer systems (hardware and software) and Internet access to view the course lectures via the Internet throughout the term. Students must view the sample online lectures before registering. Sample lectures and technical information are available on the Summer School distance education website at www.summer.harvard.edu/DistanceEd. Lectures are password protected after the first week of classes. There are two ways to access the password-protected videos: Option 1: Log in with Harvard ID and Harvard PIN (see page 36) Option 2: Log in with Harvard ID and your last name (first eight characters, all lowercase letters with punctuation and spaces omitted). You may view your distance education login name and password (for option 2) online by logging in to Summer School online services and selecting Student Information and Status from the main menu. For additional information and a listing of courses available via distance education, visit the distance education website, www.summer.harvard.edu/ DistanceEd.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have an e-mail account at work or at another institution. Can I access it from Harvard? In many cases you can. If your institution offers access to e-mail with a web browser, you can use any computer on the Harvard network to access it. Before you come to Harvard, you may wish to ask your employer or institution how to access your e-mail remotely.

What is my e-mail address? Your e-mail address is your FAS username followed by @fas.harvard.edu. For example, if your username were jharvard, your address would be [email protected].

I can’t remember the password to my FAS account. What should I do? Go to the Science Center Help Desk, and a user assistant will help you create a new password for your account. You must bring a photo ID and proof of registration.

How long will my FAS account be active? Will my e-mail be forwarded when I leave? Your account will remain active for the duration of the term in which you are registered for a course. If you are an Extension School degree, certificate, or diploma candidate, your account will remain active for the duration of your participation in the program. If you are a registered student in the health careers program, your account will remain active for the duration of the term in which you are registered.
