About the Handbook
 The Student Handbook provides important information for
undergraduate students. Each undergraduate is responsible for reading and
understanding the rules and regulations of the College also presented in these
pages. Students are subject to College rules and regulations as soon as they
arrive on campus. There are other Dartmouth publications that you will no doubt
find useful, including Organization, Regulations and Courses (ORC)
which is the College’s official academic document. The ORC can also be found on
the College’s web site at www.dartmouth.edu/~reg/courses/desc/index.html/.
While the Handbook describes the College’s formal rules and
regulations, it serves a much broader purpose for all of us. It outlines the
overall standards that we consider crucial to our existence as an academic
community. For example, the first few pages of the Handbook describe
our history, the mission of the College, the Academic Honor Principle, the
Principle of Community, and our commitment to freedom of expression. These
statements will give you a sense of the values and beliefs that shape and
inform campus life. Please take the time to read them and to consider the
importance that we place on respectful discourse, honesty, trust, fairness and
responsibility.
Although we believe this book to be accurate as of the date of publication,
changes will undoubtedly occur. Various committees and officers of the College
having responsibility for the areas covered by the Handbook reserve
the right to make changes in College regulations, policies, procedures, and
other matters as may from time to time be deemed appropriate. Students will
receive or have access to information on any such changes via notices from the
appropriate office.
Dartmouth students wishing further information concerning matters dealt with
in this Handbook should contact the Office of the Dean of the College.
Comments and suggestions for the next edition are encouraged.
