Graduate Checklist

This handy checklist will help you successfully navigate the enrollment process.

Note: International students should visit the International Students and Scholars Services website for additional information.

Student Services

• Contact your program advisor if you have any questions about your program or plan of study. Visit our Advising page to locate your advisor.
• Pick up your computer accounts. As a Drexel student, you are entitled to computer accounts, such as email and the DrexelOne portal. Visit the Information Resources and Technology (IRT) New Accounts page to pick up your accounts.
• Submit final transcripts prior to enrollment. If you are unable to provide final transcripts by the first day of classes, please notify the Office of Graduate Admissions at 215-895-6700 immediately. Failure to submit final transcripts may result in a hold being placed on your account.
• Comply with Drexel's Immunization and Health Insurance policies. All international and full-time graduate students must be in compliance with these policies. For details, visit the Health Insurance and Immunizations website.
• Pick up your DragonCard University ID. Once you have registered for your classes, you are eligible for the DragonCard, which you will need to access certain buildings on campus. Visit the DragonCard Office located in Room 124 of the Creese Student Center on the University City Main Campus or in Room 1603 of the New College Building on the Center City Hahnemann Campus to have your ID photo taken. You must show a valid state-issued ID (driver's license or passport).
• Notify Disability Services if you have any physical or learning disabilities. Drexel University is committed to providing equal access to its programs and services to qualified students. Visit the Office of Disability Resources website for more information.
• Attend the Drexel Resource Fair. Get answers to questions regarding billing, financial aid, registration, health insurance, and immunizations during the Resource Fair offered at the start of each quarter.

Financial Aid/Billing

• If you are applying for financial aid, submit the FAFSA (U.S. citizens and permanent residents only). Remember, even if you have applied for aid in the past, you need to ensure that you file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for each year that you plan to enroll in school. The FAFSA must list Drexel's school code (003256). For further information, please visit Applying for Aid.
• Complete the Institutional Financial Aid Application (U.S. citizens and permanent residents only). The supplementary information provided on this form will enable the Student Resource Center/Financial Aid Office (SRC/FA) to correctly process your financial aid application. Download the Institutional Financial Aid Application [PDF].
• Complete any outstanding financial aid requirements (U.S. citizens and permanent residents only). Students who have confirmed their attendance can check their status on DrexelOne. New student loans will not be disbursed from the lender to Drexel until the promissory note has been signed.
• Notify Student Resource Center/Financial Aid (SRC/FA) of any changes in your enrollment status. A change in enrollment status (from full- to part-time, for example) could affect your financial aid award. Visit AskDrexel to report changes to your enrollment status.
• Review your eBill on DrexelOne. This should be done approximately two weeks before the beginning of the term. You can view this information on DrexelOne after you have picked up your computer accounts. If you have questions regarding your bill once you arrive on campus, please visit the Office of the Bursar, located on the first floor of the Main Building. You can find more information on the Office of the Bursar website.
