Undergraduate Advising
Academic advisers support and assist students in planning their course of study. They serve as liaisons between students and offices across the University, clarifying policies and procedures and advocating for students as they adjust to college-level academics.
Remote Fall Term 2020
The Drexel College of Arts and Sciences community knows that the remote fall term and virtual courses may pose significant challenges for our students. Please know that our academic advising team is prepared to assist and to help students stay on track with their academic journey. We are committed to connecting you with the resources you will need for a productive and successful fall term.
