Teaching Policies and Resources

Each School at Harvard has established a set of guidelines that clearly articulate procedures and policies pertaining to teaching and advising. These School-specific faculty handbooks provide basic information for faculty about teaching and advising, but they are by no means exhaustive. They are primarily intended as a reference guide to assist faculty in understanding their roles and responsibilities as teachers and advisors at their School.
