Concentrators are kindly requested to notify the Government Department about any leaves of absence.
Before taking time away from Harvard: Please email both your concentration adviser (CA) and the Government Department Undergraduate Office (undergrad@gov.harvard.edu) to notify them about your plans as soon as possible.
If you are returning from time away: As soon as your return is confirmed by your resident dean, please fill out the Government Department’s advising survey, which will be used to match you with a CA for the upcoming semester. (The Government Department will be automatically notified once you submit the advising survey, so no email is necessary.)
Student going on study abroad: Students planning to study abroad during term time need to meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies or the Assistant DUS before departing campus. Please see our page on study abroad for more details.
