MBA Students & Partners
MBA Students and Partners will be directed to this page for the latest policies and guidelines on health and
safety, campus access, and living and learning on campus (all below).
For all the latest on your academic and extracurricular experience – as well as timely
links to this site – be sure to bookmark the myHBS dashboard.
Harvard University Health Services is supporting recurring weekly tests through the self-administered testing program. Anyone authorized to be on campus more than 4 hours per week should plan to incorporate testing into their campus access protocol.
Six is the maximum number of HBS community members (students and partners) allowed to travel together overnight without violating Community Values. Any students who travel outside of Massachusetts must follow HBS’s latest quarantine protocol upon return.
Following exams, the six person travel limit will be suspended for the summer. Students must abide by all local regulations in the communities they visit. Those residing on or accessing campus must closely follow the HBS quarantine policy after travel; all others must follow the local quarantine guidelines of wherever they reside.
All students, except those who are fully vaccinated, arriving or returning from outside of Massachusetts must quarantine. Our goal is to reduce the chances of an outbreak of COVID-19 in our community. Please review the quarantine policies for students living in on- and off-campus housing.
Formal, student organization events are currently allowed but must adhere to all relevant policies. Review this page for event planning protocols on and off campus.
All HBS students and partners may come to campus after completing the Campus Access Protocol.

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.
