To be eligible for travel under the University’s license, graduate or professional students must fall into at least one of the following three categories:

• students who are participating in a “structured educational program” as part of a Harvard course, “provided the program includes a full term, and in no instance includes fewer than 10 weeks, of study in Cuba.” This means a group of students currently enrolled in a Harvard course who travel to Cuba for at least a 10-week period to engage in meetings, attend lectures or performances, conduct interviews, visit museums and archives, or pursue other learning experiences as part of that course;

• students who are engaged in noncommercial academic research specifically related to Cuba for which they are eligible to receive credit toward a graduate or professional degree (for example, research for Harvard courses in which they are currently enrolled or plan to be enrolled after returning from Cuba, Masters theses or similar professional projects or exercises, and doctoral dissertations); and,

• students who enroll in formal courses of instruction at a Cuban academic institution, provided that they are eligible to receive credit for those courses from their graduate or professional school (requires formal approval), and provided the course of study is no shorter than 10 weeks in duration.
