Welcome to the Dickinson family!
We hope you'll use this page to learn more about your student’s college experience. During the summer, your student will receive several important mail and email communications from the college that require timely responses. We hope the information provided here will make the process easier.
As always, please email us at orientation@dickinson.edu or call us directly in the New Student Programs Office at 717-245-1671.
Next Steps
We aim to partner with students to support them as they connect with the educational community. We're happy to work with you if you have any questions that may help your transition. If questions arise concerning secure information—such as a Gateway username, password, or course registration—we require that the student contact campus offices to verify their identity.
To help your student stay on track, we encourage you to review the thoroughly and connect with your student about the weekly email messages containing important action items they are receiving.
Check out our virtual series, , which features sessions hosted by various members of the Dickinson community and covers topics like wellness, the residential experience, finances, advising, and more.
