Financial Aid
To apply for federal student loan eligibility, all students need to complete the following two steps:
1) File the FAFSA. Dartmouth's school code is 002573
2) Submit the Dartmouth College Graduate Student Financial Aid Application
We recommend that you submit these forms as soon as possible to ensure the timely processing of your materials. We need both forms to generate the official award package. Please visit Dartmouth's Financial Aid website for more information.
After you have confirmed your enrollment, a Dartmouth NetID and email will be generated for you. A confirmation email with this information will be sent to your email address that we have on file and have been corresponding with previously. Once you receive the confirmation email with this information, please follow the steps provided regarding setting a password for your account and enrolling in Duo - a second means of authenticating your identity for accessing campus systems.
Future communications will be delivered to your Dartmouth email before classes begin. Please claim your account as soon as possible.
About Dartmouth email addresses
People can look up their full email address using: https://lookup.dartmouth.edu/
Students will have access to their dartmouth.edu account throughout their time as a student. Around graduation you will have the option to keep your Dartmouth email as a forwarding address only.
If you experience issues accessing a specific Dartmouth system, please visit https://login.dartmouth.edu from a fresh/incognito web browser to test your login. If you receive another error message there, please report that error and your Dartmouth NetID to Geisel Computing via email or phone (Geisel.Computing.Support@dartmouth.edu or 603.650.1600). One of our technicians will assist you in getting your account functioning.
Health insurance
All Dartmouth College students are required to have health insurance that meets specific standards of coverage.
If you need the coverage provided by Dartmouth College’s Student Group Health Plan, you can simply skip this step and the plan’s premium will be billed to your student account.
If you have existing health insurance coverage and want to continue with that coverage, you MUST complete the online insurance waiver or you will automatically be enrolled in the Dartmouth Student Group Health Plan (DSGHP) and be required to pay the insurance premium. The waiver is due July 1 to avoid late fees. Instructions and the form waiver are at dartgo.org/studentinsurance.
Questions about the waiver or the Student Group Health Plan?
Contact
Phone: 603-646-9438 or 603-646-9449
Email: Dartmouth.Student.Health.Plan@dartmouth.edu
Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Location: The DSGHP office is remote.
Health insurance is covered by tuition.
Immunizations
Dartmouth College's Health Services is also called "Dick's House." All students are required to document that they have had specific immunizations. We urge you to complete the following steps with Dartmouth's health services as soon as possible by June 30:
1) Each student must provide a health care provider completed Dartmouth Graduate Immunization Form, or a copy of your immunization record obtained from your home doctor, prior school, or military.
2) Each student must provide a completed Tuberculosis Screening/Testing Form.

Other Housing Options:
For a more extensive array of rental housing options, there are non-Dartmouth owned rentals. You can search the Upper Valley Rentals list: http://realestate.dartmouth.edu/upper-valley-rentals.

There is Craigslist https://nh.craigslist.org/ and there are other local landlords such as Purcell Properties, Emerson Place, Timberwood Commons, and Stone Farm. You can also check with local realtors (such as Coldwell Banker Lifestyles and Four Seasons Sotheby’s) for any available rentals through their offices.
