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:
“A completely indifferent attitude toward clothes in women seems to me to be an admission of inferiority, of perverseness, or of a lack of realization of her place in the world as a woman. Or—what is even more hopeless and pathetic—it’s an admission that she has given up, that she is beaten, and refuses longer to stand up to the world.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America’s miniature schnauzer—a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
