Dickinson Email as Official College Communication
Dickinson College uses electronic mail (e‐mail) as one means of conveying official notifications and communications to its students. Each student is provided with a Dickinson e‐mail account for this purpose. You are responsible for receiving, reading, responding to, and complying with official e‐mail communications from the college and college officials. These include, but are not limited to, communications from the President, Provost and Dean of the College, Dean of Students, Registrar, Financial Aid, Public Safety and other offices, as well as communications from your professors. If you do not have regular access to e‐mail, you must make arrangements with the college for alternative means of communication. You are also responsible for ensuring that there is enough space in your e‐mail accounts to receive messages. Instructions on maintaining and cleaning out Dickinson e‐mail accounts can be found on the LIS Web site.
Important Information:
Student and Alumni Letters of Recommendation or Reference
Students and Alumni who require Letters of Recommendation or Reference are strongly encouraged to read the Important Information on the Registrar's Office webpage.
To remain compliant with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students must complete the online Letters of Recommendation or Reference form, which will automatically notify the faculty or staff member of the student's consent to share protected academic information.
Alumni requesting Letters should use the PDF form, which does not require Gateway access.
