On-Campus Programs Checklist

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, which 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

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 Dartmouth Computing. 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.
