Art Supplement & Additional Material

Arts Supplement

When you send the Common Application Arts Supplement to the Dartmouth Admissions Office, we will submit your portfolio or solo performance to our faculty for evaluation as follows.

Types of materials our faculty can review for your Arts Supplement
Studio Art	The Studio Art Department will review portfolios of 10-12 full-page prints (preferred) or slides. Please do not submit CDs for Studio Art. Prints should be 8x10 or 8.5x11 and should not be bound. Slides should be submitted in a plastic sleeve.
Music	The Music Department will review recordings of solo musical performances on CD, or written compositions.
Film	The Film and Media Studies Department will review CDs or DVDs.
Theater & Dance	The Theater Department and the dance program will review CDs, DVDs, or website submissions.

Applicants may submit the Arts Supplement, regardless of their potential major area of study. The Admissions Office is not able to return arts supplements to applicants.

Other Additional Materials

In general, applicants should include any information that they'd like to bring to the attention of the Admissions Committee in the student's portion of the Common Application for Transfer Students.

The "Additional Information" section of the Common Application can be used to:

Add a resume to your application. Please note that applicants who submit a resume should still complete the "Activities" and "Work Experiences" section of the First-Year Application.
Add a brief abstract of an independent research project.
Add further detail about any aspect of your candidacy that is not sufficiently covered in the allowable fields of the Common Application.

You should not submit copies of awards or certificates earned during your high school years.
