HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL COURSES PRE-APPROVED FOR GOVERNMENT CONCENTRATION CREDIT
2012-13

Enrollment is always at the discretion of the HKS professor. Please note that there is a special procedure for non-HKS students to register for classes. Also note that according to Harvard College rules, an HKS course can be counted for concentration credit, and thus factored into your college and concentration GPA, only if a cross-registration petition is filed by the Fifth Monday of the semester in which the course is taken. This form, available in the Registrar's Office and the Government Undergraduate Office, requires the signature of the DUS. Please come to the Undergraduate office in CGIS between 9 and 5 to get the cross-registration form signed.

*Enrollment for this course is restricted to juniors and seniors.
