[2022] AMCAS FAQ for Harvard Summer School Study Abroad coursework entry

by Ceder, Oona Britt

Dear 2022 Applicants, As we have been getting questions from many of you who attended HSS for Study Abroad, I wanted to make sure you have all seen the FAQ from our AMCAS and Application FAQs at https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/amcas. These instructions were created by us a few years ago with review and approval by the AMCAS Staff. I have made one addition to the version on the website, as AMCAS has started to instruct applicants also to type in the name of the country in which you studied abroad (see highlighted portion). If you have additional questions about how to enter HSS (or any other) study abroad coursework, please reach out to AMCAS (emailing them may get you a quicker response if their phone Help Line has long hold times). Q: If I did a Harvard Summer School (HSS) abroad program, do I indicate that this was a study abroad program in AMCAS? A. Yes. If you took courses abroad through a Harvard Summer School (HSS) program, you must first add a second entry for "Harvard University" in the "Schools attended" section of your AMCAS (in addition to your main entry of your "Harvard University" undergraduate degree program). In the box called "School Name," in which "Harvard University" appears as an option, please type into the box to add "-Study abroad-[Country name]" so that it will say "Harvard University-Study Abroad-[Country in which you studied abroad]." Next, assign "undergraduate credit," enter the dates of your HSS summer program, and for "Other options," check the box "Study Abroad Program." When you get to the "TRANSCRIPT REQUEST" page, you will be prompted to answer the question "Does AMCAS require an official transcript from Harvard University-Study Abroad?;" answer "No," and select "Foreign Institution or Study abroad program sponsored by U.S., U.S. territorial or Canadian institution- Credits transferred" as your "Transcript Request Exception Reason." Next, answer "Yes" to the question "Was credit for Harvard University-Study Abroad transferred to another institution?." As "School where transfer credits appear," select "Harvard University" (which refers to your first entry of "Harvard University" under schools attended, where you recorded your undergraduate degree and major, and for which you should make a transcript request for your Harvard College transcript; your HSS Study Abroad summer course/s appear on this transcript). Note that courses taken in the summer are entered as part of the upcoming academic year (e.g., a course taken in the summer of 2018 should be entered as part of the 2018-2019 academic year, along with the year in school status (i.e., SO, JR, or SR). For all Study Abroad-related questions about course work and institutions attended: See the "Foreign Coursework" and other relevant sections of the AMCAS Applicant Guide and view the video tutorial on this subject. If your question is not answered by these instructions, please contact the AMCAS Help Line at 202.828.0600. Happy Memorial Day weekend! Oona and Emiko Oona B.
