Before You Arrive

Check Your Drexel Email

Start checking your Drexel email now so it becomes a habit. You will receive email notifications letting you know that you have roommate requests in your housing application from other students.

Roommates

If you are receiving a new roommate or suitemate for the next term, it is important that you prepare your bedroom/suite prior to the end of the term. If you are not scheduled to have a roommate for the following term at this time, it is possible that you may be assigned one during the break. Prior to leaving for break, it is important that you remove all of your belongings from the vacant areas of the room.

To view your housing assignment and roommate information, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to DrexelOne and choose "Housing and Dining."
  2. Choose the "Housing Application" link at the top of the page.
  3. Select the application you completed and "Save and Continue"
  4. If you are not automatically directed to the Status Page, select "Status" at the top right of the page.
  5. Review your assignment on the Status Page. Room Reservation Details will list your room, room type and location. You may also view your roommate's name by selecting their Drexel user ID.

We highly encourage you to contact your roommate prior to arriving to Drexel University.

Personal Insurance

As explained in our Housing Agreement, Drexel University is not liable for damage or loss of your personal belongings. We highly recommend that you get coverage under your parent or guardians’ home owner/renter’s insurance policy. If unable to do so, please visit National Student Services, Inc. for more information on College Student Property Insurance.

Move-In Times for Incoming First-Year Students

Move-in times for incoming first-year students will be emailed to their Drexel email account in late August.
