As we begin the summer term, the Graduate College would like to remind you of a few important academic dates, deadlines, policies and resources to help you navigate your graduate studies. We recommend you bookmark this information for future reference.
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 stop in and say hello!
Please note that our office will be closed on Fridays during the summer term and our staff will be observing Summer Friday hours, which means we will conclude business at 12 p.m. EDT on Fridays. Please contact us via email at graduatecollege@drexel.edu.
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.
