Transferring Programs

Policy Statement

Occasionally, a student may transfer from one graduate program to another at Dartmouth for the completion of his/her Ph.D. Although the process of acceptance and transfer lies with the individual graduate programs, the Dean of the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies must give final approval for transfer of the candidate from one program to another.

If the Dean of the Guarini School determines that the candidate's credentials and qualifications are not adequate, then acceptance and transfer into the program will be denied. (see also Dismissal).
