For students: All HBS students may come to campus without additional permissions to use public spaces as long as physical distancing is maintained and face coverings are worn. Doctoral students looking to use their offices should email Jen Mucciarone.
For faculty and staff: For faculty and staff: Staff are primarily working remotely until further notice, although essential personnel—including staff working to support the delivery of our educational programs and other core functions—are coming to campus. Staff should continue to discuss their need and plans for on-campus work with their manager; throughout the winter and spring, as safety and conditions warrant, on-campus activities (e.g., working at School one day a week) will be encouraged. Based on current demand, those faculty who have completed the Campus Access Protocol are able to come to campus to teach and use their offices. For faculty and staff, the School’s approach may change should Harvard, Boston, or Massachusetts indicate the need for higher or lower occupancy rates.
For Executive Education participants: Specific information on campus access will be posted once timing is set for the return of on-campus Executive Education programs. At this time, due to continued strong interest in HBS Executive Education, we have developed a set of virtual programs as part of our portfolio, with more information here: HBS Executive Education Virtual Programs.
For Visitors & Guests: Visitors and guests are strongly discouraged from coming to campus at this time. Those who do must receive prior approval and complete the Campus Access Protocol.
Anyone coming to campus must complete the Campus Access Protocol.

All individuals coming to campus must receive advance permission and complete the Campus Access Protocol. Campus buildings are locked and will require Harvard ID card access.

Consistent with Massachusetts guidance, HBS will follow limits on gathering sizes (currently no more than 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors) as well as requirements for physical distancing and the appropriate use of face coverings. Signage, markings, and the removal or relocation of furniture (e.g., in the Schwartz Common or in project rooms) will support these efforts. Additionally, campus buildings are locked and will require Harvard ID card access.
Face coverings currently are required in indoor spaces, including all dining facilities and retail locations, where contact or interaction with others is expected. Face coverings also are required outdoors even when physical distancing is possible. There is a limit of 10 for informal gatherings both inside and outside.

Quarantine Policy Updates
- 23 FEB 2021
Added the following important notes to the Students section of Quarantine Policies:
-If you are a close contact as a result of a potential exposure and you have previously tested positive and are within you 90 day window of testing positive, you typically will not need to quarantine. However, HUHS contract tracers make the final determination on who needs to quarantine.
-If you are a close contact and you have already received two doses of vaccine, you are still likely required to quarantine because even vaccinated populations can become infected and contagious to others.
