Does Dartmouth have a print ORC/Catalog?

While there is no central printing of the ORC/Catalog, .pdf versions of past ORC/Catalogs are available on the Registrar's website and may be printed.

• Current ORC/Catalog
• Past ORC/Catalogs

How do I print the ORC/Catalog?

• To print a single page in the current catalog: on the top right of each page of the ORC/Catalog, there is a "print this page" button, select that and your single page will print.

• To print selected pages or the entire ORC/Catalog .pdf: on the left side of the ORC/Catalog select "Printable Version" to bring you to a .pdf of the current ORC/Catalog where you may print the entire document or just the pages that you need by navigating through the .pdf.

• NOTE:  if you have access to the SmartCatalog system, also see the Guide for "Printing the Catalog using the SmartCatalog system."

 

How do I modify links to the ORC/Catalog on my webpage?

There are two ways of linking to the ORC/Catalog:

• General link – remains the same every year
  • https://www.dartmouth.edu/reg/catalog - links to the main page of the most current edition of the ORC/Catalog.
  • Archived ORC/Catalogs may be found here: https://www.dartmouth.edu/regarchive
    

• Specific links – updates needed for older catalog years

  • Links to any pages within the ORC/Catalog that need updating to link to the current edition. For example, any direct links to regulations, department/program requirements, or courses require updating.
  • Note that instead of the year, the word "current" appears in the URL:

http://dartmouth.smartcatalogiq.com/en/2013/orc/Regulations/Undergraduate-Study/Working-Rules-and-Regulations/Election-of-Courses

change to:

http://dartmouth.smartcatalogiq.com/en/current/orc/Regulations/Undergraduate-Study/Working-Rules-and-Regulations/Election-of-Courses.

 

Are there tools to assist with locating content?

Yes. An ORC/Catalog Site Map is on the first page and a Table of Contents and an Index may be found in the "Printable Version" within past ORC/Catalog .pdfs. Select CTRL+F to search by keyword in these older versions. The current ORC/Catalog is searchable by entering keywords in the Catalog Search box anywhere within the catalog.
