Course Selection and Academic Advice

Taking a course through the Secondary School Program (SSP) can be a rewarding experience, especially if you make careful selections. College courses are generally more demanding than high school courses. Harvard Summer School courses may surprise you because they cover a semesters worth of college material in seven weeks. Furthermore, exams in college courses can be quite different from those high school students are used to. When registering, remember that your final course load may not be more than 8 undergraduate credits. You cannot: Carry a course overload (more than 8 credits). Enroll in classes for graduate credit or for non-credit (with the exception of EXPO S-C). If you enroll in the residential program, you must register for a total of 8 credits. Commuting students and distance learners may enroll in one 4-credit course if they wish. Eight-credit courses are intensive. It is generally better to select two 4-credit courses, rather than one 8credit course. Course selection tips Here are some pointers to keep in mind when selecting the course or courses that are right for you. Carefully read the course description and syllabus or course website for the courses that interest you. Syllabi and course websites are linked with course descriptions as they become available. Pay attention to any prerequisite listed in the course description. Do not register for any course for which you have not taken the proper prerequisites. International students: The writing course, EXPO S-C Cross-Cultural Expository Writing, is highly recommended for students who wish to improve their English-language skills. Check the textbook listed on the syllabus.
