Get the app
New students should download the Corq app and find their Event Pass to check into events throughout Orientation and beyond. Corq allows students to add events to their calendars, explore campus groups and offices, and even maps each session on Google Maps to help you find your place at Dickinson.
- Download the Corq app (in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store).
- Log in to the app with your Dickinson username and password (for help, click here).
- Open your options and select “Event Pass.”
From there, you can save it to Google Pay or your Apple Wallet or take a screenshot. The event pass is specific to you and will remain the same throughout your entire Dickinson experience.
