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 10 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. 

Cross-registration takes place at the beginning of each semester and involves getting instructor permission for the course or courses you would like to take at the other school. For more information about courses that might be of interest to you and the cross-registration process see the links below or contact the Registrar's Office.
