Cross-Registration at Harvard Law School

One of the unrivaled benefits of being a student at HLS is the access you have to courses and faculty members in the other Harvard Schools. Whether you’re interested in exploring the international development offerings at the Kennedy School, learning more about entrepreneurial finance at the Business School, or developing fluency in Chinese at FAS, you should consider taking full advantage of the cross-registration opportunities we offer.   JD students may count up to 12 credits, and LL.M. students up to 6 credits, from courses taken at other Harvard schools, the Fletcher School at Tufts, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology toward their degree requirements. 

Students interested in cross-registering into or out of the Law School should submit petitions through the Harvard University online cross-registration system.  Individual school courses and cross-registration policies and dates are available on this site.
