Harvard Splash will not be taking place in-person in 2021 due to safety precautions. Getting Here

Unless absolutely necessary, do not drive. It is extremely difficult to find parking around Harvard's campus. We are not able to reserve any parking space, so if you do drive, you will have to find parking yourself.

We recommend you take the MBTA. Morning check-in is a 4-minute walk from the Harvard stop on the red line.

Parents are not required to accompany students to Splash check-in. (Students coming alone must be extra sure to bring their signed waiver or else they will not be able to participate in the program. Here are the waivers for students UNDER AGE 18 and 18 YEARS OR OLDER.).

Morning Check-in

Students may not attend their first class until they have checked in! Check-in will begin in Emerson Hall at TBD. Enter through the front entrance.

Check-in will be moving to Sever Hall Room 113 around TBD. Students must present their liability form at morning check-in.

Students will receive their schedules, name tags, t-shirts, lunch tickets, and program guide at check-in.

The program fee at the door is $30 and we only accept cash and check. Make the check out to "Harvard Undergraduate Studies in Education." Limited lunch tickets and t-shirts will also be available for purchase at check-in.
