The Blue Cross and Blue Shield fee may be waived for those with comparable insurance elsewhere. Harvard does not offer a summer term so that the spring term will end for the visiting exchange scholars after exams are completed. Access to facilities will not be available during the summer. Students planning on visiting Harvard for a semester or a year are reminded that the rental market in the Boston area is tight so that preparations to be an exchange scholar should be completed as soon as possible allowing for time to find accommodations. Foreign students may be allowed to work on campus at the host institution for up to 20 hours per week, but approval must be granted by the Foreign Student Advisor at the home institution.
All students can check with their host department to see if teaching possibilities are available.
