Event Policies

Attendees & Guest Speakers

Events hosted on campus may include high-profile speakers or special guests. If your event will include a VIP attendee (e.g., dignitaries, elected officials, public figures, celebrities, or other notable attendees), please notify the Events team as early as possible, as additional security planning and logistical coordination may be required in advance.

Additionally, screening is required for all international entities and individuals participating in any type of educational program that Harvard helps to organize, host, or sponsor either online or in a country outside the U.S. For more information, notify your event coordinator of guests that may meet these criteria. 

Event Access & Guests

Events that include guests without Harvard University ID (HUID) access may require security staffing and could incur additional fees. For more information, please visit our Security page.

Youth Protection Office (YPO)

Program administrators hosting events involving minors must register their program with Harvard University’s Youth Protection Office prior to the event. For more information regarding required training and the registration process, please visit the YPO website.
