General Information
Participants have the additional (non-credit) option of taking the Rothberg School's four or eight week intensive Hebrew course in the August-September leading up to the fall semester.
The Rothberg Int'l School fall semester runs from late September or early/mid-October to end of December, with exams scheduled to enable students to be back in Dartmouth for Winter Quarter.
For general undergraduate courses, the semester occasionally ends in mid-January, so check the Hebrew University calendar to avoid any clash with Dartmouth Winter Quarter.
Financing Your Program
Tuition and Fees
Dartmouth students pay tuition and service fees to Dartmouth; room and board fees as well as transportation to and from the program site are the responsibility of the student. Because the exchange is an official program sponsored by the College, Dartmouth students do not need to pay the transfer term fee that the College charges to students who study on outside programs during leave terms.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is available for official exchange programs arranged through the College. Financial aid awards are adjusted to reflect the actual cost of the exchange term. However, students will receive no more scholarship assistance than they would have received for a term at Dartmouth. Any extra costs associated with the program will be covered by additional loan assistance.
