FAQ
Bioforms
My organization isn't listed on the bio form. How do I include it?
Harvard Yearbook's policy is to include only those organizations recognized by the University in the official OSL activities list. We receive a list of registered organizations annually from the Student Activities Office. Your organization may not be listed as you expect, so look carefully; note that all PBHA organizations are listed under "Phillips Brooks House Association" and subgroups of official organizations (e.g. the Harvard International Review) are listed under the parent organization. If your organization is not listed, please contact the Office of Student Activities to inquire about the status of your organization.
Photosittings
Where are the photo sittings held?
Photo sittings are held at the Harvard Yearbook Publications office located at 2 Brattle Square (directions).
How long do photo sittings take?
It should take about 5 minutes to do, but please allow for at least 15 minutes.
How much do photo sittings cost?
HYP works with Prestige to bring you a subsidized $10 sitting fee due at the time of the sitting.
What should I wear?
Coats and ties are recommended for men, while women should wear bright, solid colors. We will not include yearbook poses with off-shoulder tops.
When can I view my portrait proofs?
Portrait proofs will be printed instantly at the time of your photo session, and your yearbook pose choice will be made at the time. A set of full size photographic proofs will be mailed to your permanent address 2 to 3 weeks following your session along with portrait package purchase options.
How do I change my yearbook pose?
You can check your proofs online at the Prestige Portraits website; they should be ready in a couple of weeks after your photo sitting.
I can't make the photo sitting I scheduled. Can I reschedule?
Yes. Reschedule your appointment at the Prestige Portraits website.
How do I purchase Commencement packages?
Poses taken wearing cap and gown will be sent to your permanent address in March 2012 along with options to purchase commencement products and packages.
Do I need to purchase a portrait package to be included in the Yearbook?
No, all you need to do in order to be in the Yearbook is to have had your picture taken during a photo sitting.

Yearbook Questions
My social class is 2012, but I'm graduating in 2013. Which yearbook am I supposed to be in?
Several students find themselves in the same position. You can choose to be in either yearbook, but you can only be in one. Often students will choose to be included with their social class. If you choose to be with your social class, you must email us so that we can add you to the email list.
I'm advanced standing and not graduating in 2012. How do I get removed from the email list?
You may unsubscribe at this website.
I don't want my picture in the Yearbook. Can you just include my bio and put a filler picture instead?
No. Unlike the Freshman Register, you can only reserve a place in the Yearbook when you take a picture.
Can you just use my Harvard ID picture?
No. We do not have access to those pictures.
