ID Numbers and PINs

This page contains content from the Summer School 2009. For current information, visit the Harvard Summer School website at www.summer.harvard.edu.

As a Summer School student, you have two sets of identification (ID) numbers and associated personal identification numbers (PINs):

DCE ID Number and DCE PIN

The Division of Continuing Education (DCE) encompasses Harvard Summer School and Extension School, and your DCE ID number and six-digit DCE PIN provide access to online services for both schools. You can use online services to attend the following tasks:

Your DCE ID number begins with the “@” symbol and is assigned when you first log in to Extension or Summer School online services. If you do not know your DCE ID number, you may request it from the online services login page or visit our Information Services lobby at 51 Brattle Street with a photo ID.

A DCE PIN is assigned to you the first time you register for Extension School or Summer School courses as part of your online registration. If you register on paper, it is sent to you via US mail. You may change your DCE PIN online. If you do not know it, select the appropriate link on the online services login page.

Harvard ID Number and Harvard PIN

Your Harvard ID number and Harvard PIN provide access to the following:

Your Harvard ID number (labeled HUID) appears at the top of the Summer School registration confirmation that is sent to you via US mail. You can also see your Harvard ID number by logging in to online services and selecting “Student Information and Status.”

Once your Harvard ID number is activated in June, you need to obtain a Harvard PIN via the Harvard PIN System. Note that if you do not see an option for receiving the Harvard PIN via e-mail, or if you do not receive your PIN within 15 minutes via e-mail, then your e-mail address may not be correct in the central Harvard University system. To correct this problem, log in to online services and select “Report Problem with Harvard PIN.”
