Getting Started

Activate Your Computer Account

All registered Extension and Summer School students are eligible for a Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) computer and e-mail account with which you can send and receive e-mail and access the computer labs and resources. To create your FAS account, you need a Harvard ID number and a Harvard PIN (see below). Once you have your Harvard ID and Harvard PIN, you may activate your FAS account.

ID Numbers and PINs

Your Harvard ID number (HUID) is printed on the registration confirmation letter you received in the mail. You may also log in into the Extension or Summer School online services to look up your Harvard ID number. To create a new Harvard PIN or change your existing PIN, visit the Harvard PIN System.  For more information about ID numbers, please refer to our ID and PIN Help.

For more information about computer services, see Summer School Computer Accounts and Facilities or Extension School Computer Services.
