Check out the 'On and Around Campus' category for tips and advice. Want to join a book club with other Harvard Extension School students that read through the Harvard Classics? It's a Harvard education in and of itself.

This forum is exclusively for Harvard University students. The sponsor for this forum is an exciting new web app, The Degree Tracker. Track and plan your Harvard Extension School ALM and ALB degrees or professional graduate certificate. Course ratings, instructor reviews, accomplishment badges, planning, tracking, and other tools to help guide students through their HES journey. TheDegreeTracker is proud to bring you this tool to use to track your degree at Harvard Extension School. If you are a student who has more courses than you can keep track of, and you would like to plan out your degree pathway carefully, then track and plan courses with the Degree Tracker to take control of your education. Including course reviews and course ratings, TheDegreeTracker has the potential to not only guide you through your degree, but to let you help other students who might be wondering about the HES courses that you've taken. The Degree Tracker is glad to provide the Harvard Extension School Student Forum (ESF) to help foster a nurturing environment. This forum for was born in 2015 to create better Harvard Extension School friendships, networking, and information to contribute to a better overall HES experience. Extension students formerly congregated at forums such as philfac and extensionstudent. This website has no affiliation with either the philfac or extensionstudent websites. It has been created and run by 100% completely different leadership. For the extension student who wants a bigger taste of what life with other Harvard Extension students is like, combining the Degree Tracker and the extension student forum can foster that sense of community that others have on campus. Another advantage of participating in an online community over the Harvard campus is that extension students can develop permanent relationships with other extension students that being on a physical campus might not necessarily allow, since online students are great at staying in touch online.

What would you like to see in a forum?

We'd be glad to hear your feedback. It's no piece of cake to graduate with your Bachelor of Liberal Arts or Master of Liberal Arts in a timely fashion, but your Bachelor's or Master's degree plan will only benefit from making use of the Degree Tracker and this exclusive forum for Harvard's marvelous students.

Say hi to our new sponsor, TheDegreeTracker™

    I believe foreign language is a category all unto itself, like EXPO...they do not count as a humanity or social science.

    Looks like I'll be emailing a HES academic advisor (again) to double check stuff ;) do you see anything online that explains this?
  • DmilesDmiles Posts: 41
    It does under the Undergrad requirements and I can confirm from my academic report from my advisor for the EXPO classes. I'm pretty sure it's the same for the foreign languages. I also looked on the course search and if you look at the FL they don't list any attributes such as Humanities or Social Science.

    Just wanted to give you an update. I've added "None" as an option for the concentrations to TheDegreeTracker's development server, but there are a few further adjustments that need to be made before I can push it to the live server. Just wanted to let you know we'll get there soon :)
  • GratGrat Posts: 293
    The "None" button has gone live, as long as a handful of other changes. Let me know if you notice any issues.

    Cool, I'll check it out. Any headway on adding the .25, .50 and .75's for partial credit hours?
  • GratGrat Posts: 293
    That will be next on the list :)
  • DmilesDmiles Posts: 41

  • GratGrat Posts: 293
    I believe I have the partial credits up and running. Let me know if you have any troubles with it, or any other suggestions :)

    Merry Christmas :)
