ID Card, Harvard Key, and E-Mail

Obtain your Harvard ID from the Smith Campus Service Center located on the 8th floor of Smith Campus Center (see http://www.map.harvard.edu/).  Your ID card will allow you to use the Harvard University library system, to enter William James Hall after hours, and for various other University facilities. 

Please follow these instructions to obtain your Harvard Key.  You’ll use your key to access the Harvard College Libraries and Harvard’s secure wireless network.  You should also set up two-step verification http://huit.harvard.edu/twostep.  Your FAS email account will be set up as part of the Harvard Key process.

Once you have your Harvard Key and FAS email account, you will need to send the following message to ithelp@harvard.edu:

To HUIT: I am a new member in FAS and have successfully claimed my Harvard Key. I will need to have an email mailbox created so I can start sending and receiving mail at my new FAS address. Please send confirmation to my external email address.”
