Welcome, Admitted Graduate Students!

All newly admitted students should log in to their application portal and respond to the offer of admission by the deadline provided in the letter to officially enroll. MEM and MEng students who have accepted the offer of admission are also required to submit a non-refundable enrollment deposit. The deposit will be applied to their first term's tuition. Please follow the instructions in your admission letter and respond before the deadline provided.

Please check your Dartmouth email for more information from the Thayer Registrar regarding the course registration process. New students typically register for Fall term classes in early September. See more information about graduate courses and schedules as well as requirements for your specific degree in the Guide to Programs & Courses. Please refer to the guide published during the academic year in which you started your program for your specific degree requirements.

Official Dartmouth email accounts will be created for students who have not previously attended Dartmouth. Instructions for claiming your Dartmouth email account will be emailed to you after you accept your offer. Once you receive these instructions, please set up your Dartmouth email account as soon as possible. Contact Thayer Computing Services at computing@thayer.dartmouth.edu if you need support in setting up your Dartmouth email and NetID.

Starting this summer, please monitor and use your Dartmouth email account for all school correspondence. We will be sending important information to you via this account.

All students are required to have health insurance during their time at Dartmouth—either through the purchase of insurance through the university or by completing a waiver showing proof of insurance equivalent to Dartmouth insurance. In early June, you will receive information about the Dartmouth Student Group Health Plan and health services at Dartmouth. This information requires a response from you, including a completed medical questionnaire. Please carefully read the information and respond by the appropriate dates. See Dartmouth Health Services for more information.

Graduate students typically live off-campus in either private rentals or in College-owned graduate housing. The Dartmouth Real Estate Office maintains a searchable database of rooms, apartments, and houses available in the Hanover area and nearby towns. Students must complete rental applications for most housing. For more information, see Graduate Rentals Info, or contact the office at real.estate.office@dartmouth.edu or +1 (603) 646-2170.

Mark your calendars for the mandatory new student orientation: SEPTEMBER 10-12, 2025! Please make every effort to attend orientation. Not only will you meet fellow new students and get acquainted on campus, you will also receive important information and take part in sessions necessary for your success at Dartmouth. Fall term classes start SEPTEMBER 15, 2025. See the full academic calendar to help you plan ahead. More information about orientation will be provided in August via your Dartmouth email.

These forms can be found on your application status page and are to be completed online before the start of Fall term.

Information and forms for teaching assistant (TA) positions will be emailed in mid-August to incoming BE and MEM students. No action is needed on your part until you receive these forms. TA assignments will be emailed just before the start of the term.

Thayer uses ReVera services to authenticate letters of recommendation and transcripts. Applicants who accept the offer of admission will receive an email with instructions on where to send official transcripts. This email will also include an e-release form to be signed.

Fall term tuition bills will be sent via email through "DPay." Tuition payment is due in early September. See the full billing schedule. Students in all degree programs must sign in to DPay prior to the start of Fall term.
