DartWorks FAQs

Students create and save academic plans in the DartWorks Planner. Students can create plans for a variety of purposes such as completion of a major or minor, preparation for graduate school, fulfillment of general education requirements, or the culmination of their entire Dartmouth career. Plans are easy to update and rearrange as goals change while students explore various academic opportunities.

Note that some combinations of majors, minors, and modifiers are invalid. See the invalid combinations list.

Step 10. Now that you have created your plan, if you are submitting this as part of a major declaration, add it to the DartWorks Dashboard.*

*TIP: Save a copy of your plan before submitting it on the DartWorks Dashboard. This will make it easier to update your plan in the future, if necessary. Make sure to rename the copy to distinguish it from the plan you submit. Once submitted on the DartWorks Dashboard plans are locked for editing.
