        How can I verify my alumni status?

        To confirm your status as an HBS alumnus/a, first review the definition of alumni status. If you still are uncertain and have questions, you may contact our Executive Education Program Advising team at 1.800.427.5577 (outside the U.S., call +1.617.495.6555).

        Are all HBS Executive Education programs eligible for the alumni discount?

        The 30-percent alumni discount applies to all HBS Executive Education programs, both in-person and virtual, with the exception of these courses:

        • Alumni Reunions
        • Global Alumni Leadership Summit
        • Leading Change and Organizational Renewal (Stanford campus)
        • Senior Executive Leadership Program—China
        • Senior Executive Leadership Program—India
        • Senior Executive Leadership Program—Middle East
        • Senior Executive Program—Africa
        • Strategic Nonprofit Management—India
        • Value Creation Through Effective Boards
        • Programs created exclusively for an organization or association

        Can I apply the alumni discount to an HBS custom program for my organization?

        Programs created exclusively for an organization or association do not qualify for the alumni discount.

        Do I need to note my alumni status on the application in order to receive this discount?

        Your application does not require any alumni reference. The 30-percent discount will automatically be reflected in the invoice you receive upon acceptance into the program.

        When does my alumni status begin?

        Participants of Executive Education programs that grant alumni status can access alumni privileges upon completion of their qualifying program. If the qualifying program has multiple modules or units, you must complete the entire program before accessing alumni privileges. At the end of the program, you will be given a certificate of completion.

        Does Executive Education alumni status mean I have a Harvard Business School degree?

        No. Completion of select Executive Education programs earns participants a certificate of completion and alumni status, but does not confer a degree like our MBA, MS/MBA, PhD, and DBA programs.

        Can my alumni discount be transferred to a family member or colleague who does not have HBS alumni status?

        No. This discount benefit is exclusive to HBS alumni, nontransferable, and subject to standard HBS Executive Education cancellation and admissions policies.
