Interspecies Protocol was a semester-long course at Starfleet Academy examining the rules, regulations, and customs for interaction between alien species and Starfleet personnel.

In the 23rd century, Cadets Christopher Pike, Una Chin-Riley, and Spock completed this course, earning a grade of "A+". (DIS: "Brother"; SNW: "Ad Astra per Aspera", "Among the Lotus Eaters")

Kathryn Janeway reminded Harry Kim of the class, and his participation in it, after he had a sexual encounter with Derran Tal. (VOY: "The Disease")

The context of this conversation indicated that Interspecies Protocol dealt with issues of interspecies reproduction. The reasoning behind it is exampled in the Varro and the Bolians, two species known to cause sexual complications for Humans.
