New Health Sciences Student Checklist

• If you are applying for financial aid, submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (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 FAFSA for each year that you plan to enroll in school. The FAFSA must list Drexel’s school code (003256). To fill out the FAFSA, visit www.fafsa.ed.gov. For further information, please review our guide to the financial aid process.
  
  
• Complete the Institutional Financial Aid Application. (U.S. citizens and permanent residents only.) You can download this form or find a copy in your welcome packet. 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.
  
  
• Notify the 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.
  
  If you are unsure how to finance your Drexel education, the SRC/FA will help you construct a financial plan. Call 215-895-2537 as soon as possible because transactions require several days to process.
  
  
• Register for orientation. New students are invited to join us for New Student Orientation. For dates and to register, please call 215-762-1400 or email us at studentlife.cchc@drexel.edu.
  
  
• Contact an advisor in your program department. If you are unsure how to contact your advisor, review the complete list of contact numbers.
  
  
• Pick up your DrexelOne IRT computer accounts. Once you confirm your enrollment at Drexel, you are entitled to several computer accounts, such as email and the DrexelOne portal. To pick up your accounts, go to the Information Resources Technology (IRT) website.
  
  
• Review your eBill on your DrexelOne account. This should be done approximately two weeks before the beginning of the term. You can view this information on DrexelOne. If you have questions regarding your bill once you arrive on campus, please visit the Office of Student Accounts/Bursar, located on the first floor of the Main Building. You can find more information on the Office of Student Accounts/Bursar website.
  
  
• Comply with Drexel’s Immunization and Health Insurance policies. All full-time students must be in compliance with these policies. For details, go to Health Insurance and Immunizations.
  
  
• Pick up your 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, including the library. Visit the DragonCard website for office locations and further information.
