Online Form Information

The Dickinson Gateway is an online portal to information and services for the college community. You will be using Gateway as you prepare to come to Dickinson to access your Dickinson e-mail, complete student forms required for attendance and obtain news and information about preparing for Orientation and your first year at Dickinson. As you progress through your college career, the information and services that you access through the Gateway will change. The Gateway allows Dickinson to deliver information and services targeted to your specific roles and activities at the college.

Your Dickinson Gateway user name and password can be found on the Dickinson College Applicant Portal. Log on to the Applicant Portal now with your existing user name and password to receive your email information. If you encounter difficulties accessing or using the Dickinson Gateway, contact the Library & Information Services Helpdesk at 717-245-1000 or helpdesk@dickinson.edu. Your user name and password is protected by the college and we will need to verify your identity over the phone or by e-mail. We will only give this information to the individual student and not to individuals calling on their behalf.
