D-Plan Planning

Class of 2021: The deadline for filing your D-Plan is April 12, 2018.

  • Exception: International students on an F-1 Visa do not have to file a D-Plan by April 12, 2018. They will receive a D-Plan with an "L" (Leave term) for every summer, but can change their D-Plan once the Registrar’s office allows changes to be requested. International students should talk with their OVIS advisor about how D-Plan choices affect the visa status

Contact your undergraduate dean with questions. Use DartWorks Degree Audit on DartHub to track major and degree requirements.

D-Plan Guidelines and Planning

First-Year Student Vehicle Policy

First-year students are not allowed to have a car on campus or in Hanover. This long-standing regulation applies to motorcycles and motorbikes as well and is strictly enforced. The only exceptions are for emergency or medical situations.
