Facing a Administrative Board (Ad Board) proceeding? AdvocatED advisors know Harvard's specific process, not generic advice, but guidance built around how your institution actually works.
Harvard College uses the Administrative Board (Ad Board) for both academic and non-academic misconduct, an unusually unified system. Cases are investigated by Resident Deans who write detailed case summaries. These summaries become critical documents in the proceeding. Harvard's professional schools each maintain entirely separate processes.
This specific institutional knowledge is what separates AdvocatED from generic advisors. We provide guidance tailored to how Harvard's actual process works, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
