You May Be College Savvy…But Are You Drexel Savvy?
CTSE and the Office of New Student and Family Programs hosts Orientation sessions for
incoming transfer students prior to the start of the Fall, Winter, and Spring terms.
It is very important for new transfer students to attend Orientation--although you are an experienced college student, Drexel is a unique place with it's co-op system and ten week academic term. There is a lot you need to know to ensure your success as a Drexel Dragon! Plus, Orientation is a great opportunity to:
- Meet current students and other transfers
- Connect with your academic advisor
- Learn ways to become invovled in the campus community
- Discover resources and services available to you
- Have fun!
