Summer Language Program courses correspond both in quality and quantity of work to a full course given throughout the academic year (or to two one-semester courses). Each SLP course is eight units (two semesters) of credit; a unit is approximately equivalent to one semester-hour in academic institutions using that system of evaluation. Courses must be taken for a letter grade only. Students may audit, but only with payment of full tuition.
The Summer Language Program does not grant degrees. HDS degree students may count SLP courses toward the course requirements under the normal course restrictions of their program, including specific language study limitations. Non-HDS students may request official transcripts for credit earned. (Students enrolled in degree programs at other institutions are advised to have their SLP courses approved in advance by the appropriate officer in their own school if they wish to have credit applied toward their degree program.)
Requests for Transcripts
All enrolled non-degree Summer Language Program participants can request an official record of their enrollment via Parchment.
HDS degree candidates and doctoral students in the Committee on the Study of Religion can see their information via the my.harvard portal.
