Registration

Note: The downloadable forms on this page are provided in Adobe's PDF format, for which you will need Adobe's Acrobat Reader program to view and print. If you don't have Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, you can download it here, free of charge.

Pre-Enrollment

Every term, each enrolled MALS student is required to fill out the pre-enrollment form, and return it to the MALS office at 116 Wentworth Hall. The information provided on this form indicates whether you plan to enroll in the upcoming term. This enables the department to plan class sizes, and the bursar's office to activate your student account for billing purposes.

Please fill out the MALS Enrollment Form, and return it to the MALS office, after you have reviewed the courses to be offered in the upcoming term.

Please note that Adobe Acrobat Reader which you use to view the "PDF" file will not allow you to save your information but, you should save a hard copy for your records.

Elective Course Contracts

Enrollment Options

Students generally choose one of the following options in enrolling in the M.A.L.S. Program:

Summers Only

Many students, teachers in particular, enroll in the program only during the summer. They usually take two courses plus the symposium/seminar. Interdisciplinary M.A.L.S. courses are offered each term although there are more options available during the summer.

The symposia/seminars are only offered in the summer term.

Year-Round Part-Time

Many local people, often with jobs or other major commitments, elect to take courses year-round on a part-time basis. This usually involves one course plus the symposium/seminar during the summer and one course during other terms. In the fall, winter, and spring terms, there is at least one interdisciplinary or graduate course offered in the late afternoon or evening.

Year-Round Full-Time

Other students choose to spend a year or more in residence at Dartmouth. These students generally start in the summer, the beginning of our academic year, and complete their course requirements and thesis at the end of the second summer.
