Statement

The procedures and guidelines listed on this website are supplementary to the official University academic policies listed on the Provost's Academic Policies webpage.

Please note that individual programs may have additional policies, procedures and requirements. Please check with your program director and/or advisor(s).

In most cases, students in the Thomas R. Kline School of Law and the College of Medicine are subject to the policies, procedures, guidelines, rules, regulations and requirements set forth in their program’s respective student handbooks and not those of the Office of Graduate Studies.

Drexel University reserves the right to change, without notice, any statement contained on this site or the Provost's website concerning academic policies and procedures. Failure to review policies does not excuse a student from knowing and complying with its content. In addition, this and the Provost's website should not act as a substitute for frequent meetings between the student and the graduate academic advisor, supervising professor and/or appropriate graduate advisory committee members.

Students are bound by the policies and requirements listed at the time that they matriculate into a graduate program. Readmitted students are bound by the policies and requirements in place at the time of readmission, unless an exception has been granted by the respective program and the Office of Graduate Studies.

Please see the Provost's Academic Policies page for a list of all academic policies, which may be applicable to all students.

A complete list of Drexel University Policies can be found on the Office of Compliance, Policy and Privacy Services website.

Please also see Graduate Student Resources for additional resources and guidelines.

Additional policies are outlined in the Student Code of Conduct, including the Academic Integrity Policy and conduct process. All students MUST be aware of and knowledgeable of these policies and procedures. Please review frequently for updates.

International students (F-1 and J-1) should refer to the latest updates, policies and information on the International Students & Scholars Services (ISSS) website.
