U.S. immigration updates: The University is aware of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security order to terminate Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification for the 2025-26 academic year. Harvard is committed to maintaining our ability to host our international students and scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries and enrich the University and this nation. More information and updates will be provided as they become available.

Harvard University has numerous logos and shields (insignias) and school names. Extension School students, degree candidates, and alumni are not permitted to use the Harvard University or Harvard Extension School insignias on letterhead, business cards, electronic signatures, websites, blogs, and other forms of communication, except under the circumstances detailed below. Violation of these policies may result in disciplinary action.

Allowable Use of the School Name or Insignia

  • Student groups that have received explicit approval from the Office of Student Affairs may use the Harvard University or Harvard Extension School name and insignia in notices of meetings and written materials.
  • Any regular publication sponsored by a group that uses “Harvard” in its title needs permission from the dean of students.
  • Explicit permission of the dean of students is needed before a group can give permission to a third party to use the “Harvard” name or to imply connection with the Extension School or the University.
  • In all instances, the proper version of the logo and shield must be obtained from the Office of Communications and Marketing.

This policy is in accordance with the Harvard Trademark Program administered by the Office of the Provost.
