Deans Office Student Consultants (DOSC)

The Deans Office Student Consultants (DOSCs) are a group of students in their senior year who provide academic peer advising on an informative, but informal, level. They also direct students to the various offices that constitute the advising network at Dartmouth.

The DOSC program receives training from the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, Pre-Major Advising, and Scholarship Advising Offices, Academic Skills Center, Career Services, Residential Life, and Baker Library, as well as other advising offices on campus.

DOSCs spend a majority of their time assisting students - either in individual meetings or by responding to questions submitted to Dartmouth's Advising blitz account ("Ask311"). They also initiate, coordinate and implement outreach programming and information sessions with campus groups and administrative and advising offices.

  • Examples of the issues addressed in DOSC events or information sessions include:
    • major choice,
    • time management,
    • study strategies,
    • enrollment patterns and D-plan strategies,
    • internship and research opportunities,
    • funding resources,
    • library skills,
    • major courses and curriculum requirements,
    • off-campus programs.
