Frequently Asked Questions

Are HBS partners considered Visitors or Guests when accessing campus?
Partners of our MBA and Doctoral students are considered full members of our HBS Community and are treated as students in terms of campus access. They are not considered visitors or guests. Partners coming to the HBS campus are required to follow the guidelines outlined in our Campus Access Protocol. If they haven’t done so already, we also encourage students to register their partners with the MBA and Doctoral program office, even if at this moment the partner does not anticipate coming to the HBS campus. Please contact partners@hbs.edu with any additional questions.
Can visitors come to campus?

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.

How is HBS supporting health, safety, and well-being in common spaces?

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.

Will I need to go through any checkpoints when I get to campus?
No, though this may change as Harvard explores testing and monitoring protocols.
