Dartmouth has several Exchange Programs with other institutions. These are considered Dartmouth-sponsored programs. Students apply for Exchange programs through the Frank J. Guarini Institute for International Education. If accepted into a program, students then apply to transfer specific courses to Dartmouth through the Dartmouth Registrar’s Office.

Step 1. Verify Deadlines

Completed applications to be accepted into an Exchange Program are due according to the program deadline dates listed by the Frank J. Guarini Institute for International Education. Transfer credit approval forms are due in the Registrar's Office by the final day of classes for the term that immediately precedes the term you plan to participate in the program (e.g., end of summer term for a fall term program).

Step 2. Request Course Pre-approvals

Once you have been notified of your acceptance into the program by the Guarini Institute, seek course pre-approvals from the appropriate departments/programs. Use the Transfer Credit Approval Form to indicate the specific courses you wish to transfer from the Exchange program institution. Note that this is only one step in the course approval process.
