Admission Policy
While the Harvard Extension School is one of the thirteen schools that make up Harvard University, a student does not have to be officially admitted to a program in order to register for individual courses. But in order to be admitted to a degree-granting program, a student must meet specific requirements and officially apply for admission to the university. Harvard Extension School's aim, in the words of President Lawrence A. Lowell, is "systematic popular education". The Extension School has enrolled more than 500,000 students and currently enrolls about 14,000 per year in individual courses.

Famous quotes containing the words admission and/or policy:
“Powerful, yes, that is the word that I constantly rolled on my tongue, I dreamed of absolute power, the kind that forces others to kneel, that forces the enemy to capitulate, finally converting him, and the more the enemy is blind, cruel, sure of himself, buried in his conviction, the more his admission proclaims the royalty of he who has brought on his defeat.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Carlyle said “a lie cannot live.” It shows that he did not know how to tell them. If I had taken out a life policy on this one the premiums would have bankrupted me ages ago.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
