Special Student Status
Undergraduate and graduate students of the Harvard Extension School who maintain a minimum GPA of 3.33 or 3.5 respectively (3.7 for those enrolled in the Graduate Program in Management), and have completed the required course credits at the Harvard Extension School, may apply, with the required recommendations, for Special Student Status. If granted, Special Student Status allows a student to take two 4-credit courses per semester, for a total of four courses per academic year in the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. This is especially important for ALB undergraduates, who like their Harvard College counterparts, hold this as an opportunity to enroll in advanced level coursework.

Famous quotes containing the words special, student and/or status:
“... there has been a very special man in my life for the past year. All I’ll say about him is that he’s kind, warm, mature, someone I can trust—and he’s not a politician.”
—Donna Rice (b. c. 1962)
“It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
“Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
