FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)
All Dartmouth undergraduate courses are offered in-person.
What is Dartmouth’s revised PE requirements?
Due to extenuating circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the College has revised the Physical Education (PE) requirements for students graduating in the 2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 academic years as follows:
I missed the deadline to submit my transfer term application. What should I do?
The deadline for transfer term applications for summer and fall 2022 has passed. You may wish instead to pursue a transfer term for winter or spring 2023 terms; see the application deadlines and information about Transfer Terms on our website.
Only in extremely extenuating circumstances are students allowed to petition to apply late for a transfer term. For example, if they were unable to graduate due to a failing grade and then needed to take an additional course summer term so that they could finish their degree summer term.
Students and community members may audit courses at the discretion of the instructor. Instructors may wish to consider classroom capacity when approving auditors. For more information on auditing courses, refer to the ORC/Catalog.

How may Faculty members change or add a course limit on their course?
In lieu of issuing enrollment limit overrides, instructors may submit a request to raise the enrollment limit for their course to the Registrar's Office. This change is due to high enrollments, and limited classroom availability.
The Registrar’s Office considers requests to add additional students to the enrollment against classroom capacity. Faculty members are notified if additional enrollment jeopardizes current classroom assignments. If space allows for an increase in enrollment, an IP is placed on the course, the enrollment limit raised, and faculty members and department/program administrators are notified so IP overrides may be issued. When possible, submit all requests to increase enrollment at once rather than multiple requests for individual students in a single course.
