Your 5-year completion timeline starts when you complete two courses HES recommends these two be the required courses to be admitted (HUMA191 & Adv. Friction). Here are quotes from the degree page https://www.extension.harvard.edu/academics/graduate-degrees/creative-writing-literature-degree/degree-requirements
“Don't delay! It is critical to your successful admission and degree completion to prioritize the two degree courses for admission and apply before completing subsequent courses. We have fall, spring, and summer admission cycles.”
“You have five years to complete your degree requirements. The five-year timeline begins at the end of the term in which you complete any two degree-applicable courses, regardless of whether or not you have been admitted to a degree program. Moreover, courses over 5 years old at the point of admission will not count toward the degree.“
