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:
“O my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
