Special Students

Special Students are non-degree candidates who are admitted on a temporary basis. They include academically prepared area high school students who participate in Dartmouth’s Special Community High School program administered by the Dean of the College, and qualified College students admitted through the Admissions Office for the summer term only. In addition, the Dean of the Faculty may, in extraordinary, rare circumstances admit a special student temporarily for one or more terms other than summer term.  

While the degree regulations do not apply to Special Students, most of those applying to specific courses and College Regulations do; Special Students should note particularly the following section on ‘Working Rules and Procedures.’ Special Students should refer to the Special Community Student website.
