File Your FAFSA

U.S. citizens and permanent residents should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), using Drexel's school code (003256) in order to be considered for federal aid. Additionally, certain graduate programs require the completion of the Institutional Financial Aid Application. For more information about the financial aid process, visit Drexel Central.

Get Your Questions Answered

If you have any questions before you decide to confirm, don't hesitate to contact the Graduate Admissions Team at graduateadmissions@drexel.edu or by calling 215.895.2400. Our admissions representatives are ready to help. 

Confirm Your Enrollment

To reserve your spot in the incoming class, you must confirm your intent to enroll by submitting your enrollment form along with the nonrefundable tuition deposit through Discover Drexel. You must complete this important step by the date in your offer letter, as applications will be withdrawn for those who don't confirm their enrollment. 

Next Steps

Once you've received confirmation from Drexel that your enrollment form and tuition deposit have been processed, you may continue the enrollment process. We compiled this list to help you prepare for the first day of class.

International students should visit International Students and Scholars Services for additional information.

Administrative

• Review the Next-Step New Student Checklist. There are a few steps for you to complete as a new Drexel student before you begin your studies here. Review the Next-Step Checklist in the Welcome to Drexel Brochure [PDF].
• Pick up your computer accounts. As a Drexel student, you are entitled to computer accounts, such as email and DrexelOne. Visit the Information Technology (IT) New Accounts page to pick up your accounts.
• Submit final transcripts prior to enrollment. If you are currently enrolled in a college or university, you must submit official final transcripts. International students must submit degree conferral. If final transcripts are not received prior to the start of coursework at Drexel, a registration hold may be placed on your account. If other materials were requested at the time of your admission, these must be submitted as well.
• 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 Health Insurance and Immunizations.
• Pick up your DragonCard University ID. Once you have registered for classes, you are eligible for a DragonCard, which you will need for identification and to access certain resources and spaces on campus. Graduate students residing in University Housing will obtain their DragonCard during the move-in process. Graduate students who do not reside in University Housing can pick up their DragonCard from a DragonCard office beginning one week prior to the start of their registered term. A valid, government-issued photo ID is required. Online graduate students are also eligible for a DragonCard if currently enrolled in courses. Online students have two options for a DragonCard:
  • With photo identification – Online students may pick up a DragonCard at a DragonCard office. A valid, government-issued photo ID is required.
  • Without photo identification – Online students may require a non-photo DragonCard be mailed to the address on the student's record. To request a non-photo DragonCard, complete this form. A DragonCard office will not mail DragonCards together with photo identification.
• Notify Disability Resources 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 Disability Resources for more information.

Registering for Courses

• Review your billing information. Familiarize yourself with Drexel's billing system and set up any features (such as text message notification) so that you are ready when your first eBill is issued. Learn more about tuition, fees, and billing processes. You should also review the different payment options available, including payment plans and the employer reimbursement plan.
