Graduate College Operations

The Graduate College office suite on the third floor of the Main Building (MAIN 301) is generally open for student services between 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. EDT Monday through Thursday. Walk-ins should check in using the kiosk at the front desk. We offer free filtered cold and hot water, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate for graduate students. Please contact us via email at graduatecollege@drexel.edu.

Summer Term Hours: Please note that our office will be closed on Fridays during the summer term and our staff will be observing Summer Fridays, which means we will conclude business at 12 p.m. EDT on Fridays.

The Graduate Student Lounge on the lower level of Main Building (MAIN 010A) is open 24/7 and accessible to all graduate students via your DragonCard ID. Students are welcome to use the lounge space for social gathering, studying, eating, and events. More information about the lounge is available on the Graduate College website. Please note that new students will gain access to the lounge during their first week of classes.

Please continue to refer to Drexel’s Response to Coronavirus website for the latest health and safety guidance and for contact information should you have any questions.
