Senior Week 2025

Senior Week brings together graduating undergraduate students to celebrate as a class and to culminate their Dartmouth experience. Since Senior Week is funded by class funds and the student activities fee, these events are intended for graduating undergraduate students. As a result, attendance at most Senior Week events is limited to graduating undergraduate students. Any exceptions to this are noted in the event details below.*

For complete Commencement details and updates, please check the College's Commencement Webpage. 

In Dartmouth tradition, Senior Week is planned by and for the class.
