First-year students must register a plan with the Registrar’s Office in the spring of the first year (April 16 for ‘12s) . D-Plans can be changed as a student’s plans change, though a student is strongly encour- aged to register changes two terms in advance of when those changes would come into effect . Students do not always get their first choice because of space constraints on campus (particularly winter term), and thus students are asked to submit first, second, and third choices . The “off-term” represents one of Dartmouth’s unique opportunities, and students should be encour- aged to begin thinking about how they might make use of it during their first year. They should be en- couraged to use Career Services to explore some of the thousands of internships available to them . They may be unaware that various offices here at Dart- mouth also sponsor internships and offer competitive grants to support students during their off terms, in- cluding the office of the Dean of Faculty, the Dickey Center, the Ethics Institute, Outdoor Programs, the Rockefeller Center, and the Tucker Foundation . For a list of these opportunities, see http://www .dart- mouth .edu/~ugar/undergrad/other .html . Fitzgerald in Berlin Dartmouth junior center Elgin Fitzgerald spent this past summer studying German in Berlin thanks to the Language Study Abroad program .

“The D-Plan at Dartmouth worked out great for me this past summer because it enabled me to study German in Germany where I could be immersed in the language . Without the D-Plan, I would not have been able to spend my summer in Berlin because with basketball, there is not much time during the year that I am able to spend away from my team . The D-Plan allowed me to do just that . Instead of staying on campus for my sophomore summer, I took advantage of the LSA program in Berlin and studied there . This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will never forget, and I have the D-Plan to thank for it .”
