Working with Your Undergraduate Dean

Any student can make an appointment to see their undergraduate dean by calling our office at (603) 646-2243, emailing us, or by scheduling an appointment through their dean's Calendly link, available on DartHub

We enjoy meeting and getting to know students throughout the year. We meet with students to discuss academic advising, personal issues, and College policies. We can provide information about College resources and make referrals as needed. And if you are experiencing any academic difficulties, we encourage you to meet with a dean.

The Undergraduate Deans Office, a department within the Division of Student Affairs, provides support for undergraduate students as well as for other enrolled students. The office's main mission is to support students in their engagement with the curriculum and in their overall educational experience at Dartmouth.

An undergraduate dean is assigned to each student and follows that students throughout their college years. Although each of the deans has specific areas of academic and counseling expertise, they are generalists in the sense that they support the mission of the office. 

The Role of the Undergraduate Dean

The undergraduate deans serve as:

  • resources for academic, personal, and social advising
  • resources for improving academic performance
  • conduits of information about the College and its procedures
  • sources of support for students who have various kinds of concerns
  • sources of encouragement and information for students pursuing various kinds of opportunities
  • referrals to other College offices
  • administrators of academic and conduct regulations

Many students schedule individual appointments with their undergraduate deans to consult about various academic, personal, and social issues. These include:

  • selecting courses
  • identifying and structuring a major
  • planning for off-campus study
  • arranging for leave term opportunities
  • applying to graduate programs or for fellowships and grants
  • choosing a career
  • securing financial resources for off-campus opportunities
  • creating social/student organizations and programs
  • resolving personal and family encumbrances or hardships
  • maximizing the Dartmouth experience (academic and extracurricular)
