Current Students

Student Access to Alumni.Harvard

Current students in most degree programs are eligible to access the alumni directory using their HarvardKey.

The alumni database currently includes records for students in most degree programs; however, students in some programs are not currently included:

• Harvard Extension School students
• Students in non-degree programs, such as executive education

Students in these schools or programs are typically added to the alumni database around the time of graduation or program completion. Please note that not all non-degree programs carry alumni.harvard.edu eligibility; please see the registration help page for more information.

Site Access

Access to Alumni.Harvard.edu for students includes:

• Updating your profile
• Searching the directory
• Discussion Groups

As students graduate, they will be granted additional access to Alumni Notes, Email Forwarding, and online registraton for HAA events.

Email Forwarding

Please note that email forwarding will be available to students upon graduation.

An alumni.harvard.edu email forwarding address allows you to continue to receive mail using a Harvard email address after you graduate. To set up your Alumni.Harvard email forwarding address, visit the email forwarding section of alumni.harvard, and follow the on-screen instructions to choose an email address and forwarding destination. There are a few things to keep in mind about alumni.harvard email addresses.

• An alumni.harvard email address is a forwarding service, and not a stand-alone email account. This means that you need to set your alumni.harvard address to forward to another email address in order to receive messages.
• alumni.harvard email addresses are separate from student email addresses. Setting up an alumni.harvard email address will not prevent your student email address from expiring, or allow you to receive messages through your student email address after it has expired. Please contact your school's IT help office if you have any questions about your student email account.

Please see the email forwarding help page for more information.
