The Registrar’s Web site is, without a doubt, the most useful web-presence for advising, and can answer 95% of your advisees’ questions.  The site includes:

  • Timetable
    The Timetable is the most up-to-date information for the curriculum.
    It allows searches of courses by Term, Department, Distributive Requirement, or any combination thereof.  It will give you course’s instructor, meeting place, time, distributive and WC designations, enrollment limit (“cap”), 
  • Prospectus of courses
    The Prospectus allows searches for courses by Department two years hence, and can be very helpful for longer-term planning.
  • On-line ORC 
    Includes the year’s current ORC listings for the “C” (Courses).  The curriculum of all departments are listed here.
  • English 5 section Descriptions
  • First Year Seminar Descriptions
  • Median Grade Descriptions (always a surprise to students)
  • Degree Audit
    Students can be encouraged to do a “Degree Audit” to see what requirements they have fulfilled and what they have not.

The Office of the Registrar provides academic and enrollment services for Dartmouth faculty, students, alumni and staff, and Dartmouth's various constituents.
The office coordinates activities including but not limited to course registration; enrollment pattern (D-Plan) planning; scheduling classes into classrooms; maintaining records of courses offered and grades awarded; certification of students for graduation; and maintenance, protection and release of academic records.
Many student academic services are available on the web via Bannerstudent (www.dartmouth.edu/bannerstudent), a secure address for active students. Students come into our office for other individual services such as to file majors, minors, NROs, request transcripts, and seek approval for transfer courses and programs.

Students may schedule individual appointments to consult about various academic, personal and social issues. Students in academic difficulty are invited to meet with their Deans for assistance in returning to good academic standing.
Additional resources in the office are the Deans Office Student Consultants (www.dartmouth.edu/~upperde/consultants/index.html).  Student consultants are jointly trained by the Academic Skills Center, the First-Year Office and the Upperclass Deans Office and are prepared to field questions relating (but not limited) to: major courses and curriculum requirements, D-plan strategies, internship and research opportunities, off-campus programs, time management skills, reading comprehension and study strategies.
