- What is the X/Y Schedule?

The Academic Calendar at HBS is broken into the X/Y schedule. That is, most HBS courses fall on either an X day or a Y day.
X classes meet on Monday, Tuesday, and some Wednesdays.
Y classes meet on Thursday, Friday, and some Wednesdays.
- About Wednesdays
-
If you are enrolled in a class at HBS you will need to know if it is an X class or a Y class and on what Wednesdays your course will meet. That information can be found by looking at the Academic Calendar. X days are green, Y days are blue and you will see that some Wednesdays are blue while others are green. You will be expected to be in class on all Wednesdays when your course is meeting as indicated on this calendar.
- Auditors and Harvard Fellows (ALI, Nieman, etc.)
-
Auditors can enroll in HBS classes, pending faculty permission and the availability of seats, after all students taking courses for credit have been assigned their enrollments. The process is as follows:
- Research your courses of interest.
- Reach out to the faculty regarding permission. In some cases you may be asked to forward your CV/Resume to the faculty for review.
- After permission is granted, complete the HBS Cross-Registration poll (poll will be live here on September 1st). It will close on September 10, 2021 at 8am. Enrollments will be processed and you will be emailed HBS login information if your are enrolled in the class. After completing the poll, students will be provided with temporary login information and further instructions.
