Ticket Information
Please review the information related to tickets.
Visa Support Letter Request
Submit a request for a visa support letter. This letter is only to support your guest's application. It is not to assist you in getting an appointment. Around the world we are seeing many consulates and embassies with reduced capacities to process nonimmigrant visas. Our best advice is to continue checking multiple times a day for appointments. If you have questions about your specific situation, reach out to Kevin Boehm.
Livestreaming and Ceremony Recordings
The HGSE Convocation, the University-wide Morning Exercises and the HGSE Diploma Ceremony will be livestreamed on various Harvard websites so that family and friends can view the ceremonies from around the world. Recordings of the ceremonies will be available on the HGSE YouTube page in the days following the events. Please note that livestream viewing locations on the HGSE campus will be extremely limited. Guests who do not have tickets to attend the ceremony are encouraged to watch from an alternative location. All livestreamed Commencement events will include captioning.
