SENIOR WEEK 2017

SENIOR WEEK ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Senior Week is only for Harvard College seniors. Entry to all ticketed Senior Week events requires a valid ticket, valid Harvard University ID (HUID), and a valid government ID. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Non-transferrable means that you cannot give your ticket to anyone else for free or for sale. Your ticket will have your name on it. No guests are allowed at any Senior Week event.

The Moonlight Cruise, the Last Chance Dance, and the Senior Soirée are 21+ events. 

No one is allowed to bring alcohol to any Senior Week event. You must be at least 21 years old to drink alcohol at any Senior Week event. Your birthdate appears on your HUID; however, this is NOT a valid ID for proof of age. Acceptable identification for age verification is a valid government ID accompanied by a HUID. For entry at 21+ events and for alcohol service at any event, international students should carry their passports. Failure to have both a government ID and a HUID will result in a request for additional forms of ID, and may result in the denial of entry at 21+ events and in the denial of alcohol service at all events.

The presentation of false identification is a violation of University rules and Massachusetts law. Students violating these rules will be subject to disciplinary sanctions. Because of the liability involved, any obvious or widespread violation of the regulations may result in the cancellation of subsequent events.

Any student who creates or attempts to use a fraudulent ticket to enter a Senior Week event or otherwise violates the policies outlined above (for example, by attempting to attend a Senior Week event as a non-senior) may be referred to the Office of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct.
