Auditing

Harvard Divinity School is pleased to welcome members of the community to audit classes in person during the 2025-26 academic year. Auditors are required to apply and receive instructor permission prior to being eligible to participate in a class. To request an application, contact registrar@hds.harvard.edu. 

The cost to audit a course at HDS is $650.00. Payment in full is required within a week of being approved to participate in a course or approval is voided.

The COVID-19 vaccine is strongly encouraged, but not required, for all students, cross-registrants, faculty, staff, researchers, and visitors.

Harvard Divinity School retains the discretion to act as it deems necessary in extraordinary circumstances to protect the health and safety of the Harvard community, and otherwise protect Harvard’s dual mission of teaching and research against significant disruption. For these purposes “extraordinary circumstances” include, but are not limited to, public health emergencies, government action, extreme weather events, and other conditions posing broad threats to community health and safety or significantly disrupting campus life or learning. 

If you have questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office at 617.495.5760 or via email at registrar@hds.harvard.edu.
