Classpage Information

The majority of classes at HKS will involve using the HKS Classpages (login required) for communication, on-line articles, and often many other aspects of class. Once you have successfully logged in to your classpages, you will be sent to your class's homepage, where recent announcements and up coming assignments are displayed, along with any recent polls from your instructor, responses to your discussion contributions, and more.

Classpage Administrator's Guide - Guide for Teaching Fellows and Course Assistants who will be using the Classpages. Students may also find this guide useful if they are having difficulty using the Classpages.

How do I send a message to my class?

If you wish to E-Mail your entire class, you must first get permission from the faculty member or Assistants who run the course. Every class has a default E-Mail address, the format is, for instance:
api-101@ksg.harvard.edu

The links to my On Line Materials don't work. What's wrong?

The most common problem with On Line Materials is the title. In effort to organize the semester, many administrators use the number sign ( # ) in the title in an effort to organize. Unfortunately, the number sign is also a code in html for a page anchor, and causes student web browsers to look for files in a location that does not exist. Keep out the # and the links will work.

Can I change or add my picture?

Pictures are automatically downloaded from the Harvard ID office for HKS students. If you woul like your picture removed, please contact Aileen Grunder. Cross Registered students can add a picture on the "Options" section on the left side menu bar on the classpage.
