The Financial Aid Policies are accurate for the 2011 – 2012 academic year. However, Dartmouth reserves the right to make, from time to time, such changes in its operations, programs and activities as the Trustees, faculty and Officers consider appropriate and in the best interests of the Dartmouth Community.

Dartmouth's Cost of Attendance, sometimes referred to as your budget, is comprised of charges billed directly to you by Dartmouth as well as out-of-pocket costs that go along with attending school.
The directly-billed charges include tuition, room, board and fees. You will be billed for these charges six weeks before each term starts. While room and board costs can vary, the basic per-term direct charges budgeted for the 2012-13 academic year are:
* - First-Year students have three additional charges budgeted as part of the cost of attendance
There are, of course, expenses related to going to school that will not appear on the college bill. We estimate an average of $1,134 per term will be needed to cover the costs of books, supplies, laundry and other miscellaneous living expenses. Depending on where you live, there may be significant transportation costs that need to be factored in as well.
It is important to remember that these indirect costs will not appear on the college bill. Students should plan to arrive on campus with sufficient funds to cover the costs of books and incidental expenses.
If you live a distance away from campus, a travel allowance will be included in your cost of attendance. This travel allowance is another indirect cost that will not appear on your student bill. Students and families must arrange and pay for all travel to and from Dartmouth College.
