• Do I automatically receive a membership to the Harvard Club of Boston upon graduating? You are eligible for a complimentary membership, it is not automatic. We require an application to be completed. Please remember to list your Class of 2024 degree year on the application. 
   
• Once I submit my application, how long will I need to wait to use my membership?
  We experience an extremely high volume of applications for the complimentary membership. Wait time for a membership number and access to club benefits is approximately 3-4 weeks from the time of submission. Member numbers and login credentials are sent to you via email when ready for use.

MEMBERSHIP DETAILS

• What do I have access to with the complimentary membership?
  We want the Class of 2024 to experience all that our community has to offer, which is why you have access to all amenities and services. We even include complimentary membership to our fitness center and squash courts. Squash lessons are available for an additional fee. View full list of club benefits below.
   
• Are there any fees associated with the complimentary membership?
  There are no membership fees between now and August 31, 2025. Should you choose to continue on with club membership beyond August 31, 2025, monthly membership fees would apply. The initial fee is waived (savings up to $3,616) even if you choose to continue your membership beyond the complimentary timeframe. 
   
• Are all of the club benefits and events free?
  No. While the signature speakers, faculty lectures and author events are often complimentary, any dining, overnight rooms, social events with a food and beverage component, squash lesson charges, parking fees, and tickets to events outside the clubhouse that you may incur while enjoying your membership are required to be paid. 
   
• Is the membership just for me?
  You may include a spouse / partner on the membership. They will enjoy equal membership privileges.
   
• Why is the application asking me to provide a credit card?
  We require a credit card submission to complete our application. You are not paying an initial fee as a member of the Class of 2024 and the card will not be charged for any membership fees. Please make sure you include your Class of 2024 graduation information so that we know to mark the membership as complimentary. (please note that although our online application states that you will be charged an initiation fee, you will not.)
   
• Once I'm a member, can I pay for club events, food, etc., with a credit card?
  We are a member charge only club. Once you become a member, you will update your member account with the credit card of your choice. All charges will be billed to your member number and this credit card.
   
• Does this membership provide me with access to the Harvard Club of New York?
  No. HCB and HCNY are separate entities. HCNY does provide a similar program for graduates and you could certainly join both, but they are not interchangeable. We do have a reciprocal network of more than 180 private membership clubs around the globe available to you. 

ACCESS TO THE COMMENCEMENT DINNER
Reservations open for club members on Monday, April 22 at noon.

• Does submitting my application also register me for the Commencement Dinner? No. You need to apply for membership, be approved, and have received your member number before reserving for the commencement dinner.

Only active members who have applied, been approved, and issued a membership number are able to make reservations. Thank you for understanding.
