The Harvard International Office (HIO) will be undergoing a space renovation over the 2019 Winter Break. In order to complete the renovation by Thursday, January 2, 2020, the office will be closed to walk-in advising starting at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, December 20, 2019 through January 1, 2020. The office will open at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 2, 2020.
On Monday and Tuesday, December 23rd-24th, all HIO employees will be working from home. This means some HIO services will be limited or unavailable. We will be unable to meet with students and scholars in our offices or produce/sign immigration documents. However, we will be answering emails and telephone calls made directly to advisors or staff. Our main telephone number (617-495-2789) will not be in service during this time. Our website is an excellent resource for any questions you may have. ISD will be available to administrators during this time.
