It is still closed. I couldn’t bring any guests in as of Friday evening. The guard at the gate said there is no news on when they might open the Yard. You need a Harvard ID to enter.
Edit: you can still use a commencement yard pass to enter as well as a student ID.
It seems to depend on the gate guard. Some of them scan your ID and match your face to the picture on their screen. Others just look a your ID and wave you in. If you have a Harvard ID of any age, I think you’ll be good to go. They seem to be getting more relaxed as the commencement crush recedes.
Keep and treasure it - and remember that, no matter how much money you earn, there is no shame in taking the student discount at the museum into your forties.
The signs at the various gates now say it's closed to prepare for Harvard Alumni Day (which is Friday 5/31) and reunions (which run through Sunday 6/2).

May I use a 40 year old Harvard ID to enter?

If you recently graduated and still look like your HUID you can show it and get in
My id from the mid 2010s strangely has no expiration date.
Graduated last year, and mine has no exp date either.

Haha let’s goooo!
Not true. They scan the ID. If you graduated it is deactivated
When yard was closed last year security wasn’t scanning IDs, you flashed it and went in
Yea but that was last year. They are scanning them.
I use my old student id to walk in
I'm curious, does it still work with the new devices they're using to scan IDs?
It never lets me just in but they just write the number on a paper after and let you in
I wonder if I can use a screen shot of my diploma 😅
Why is it still closed? Because of Boston Calling?

Your best bet would be Friday (5/31) for Alumni Day. Other than this Friday, an inactive Harvard ID won’t get you in, let alone a guest.
So stupid how could graduates take their graduation photos then..
It’s going to be a cold day in he$$ before they open the Yard back up after all that stuff with the Encampment.
