Deferred Student Program
Congratulations on your admission to Drexel University!
As a student who has deferred their enrollment, we recognize that there can be a need for flexibility in how you choose to start your college career. No matter if you will be with us during the winter or next fall 2024, we are thrilled that you have decided to become a Dragon. Rest assured that no matter what the circumstance of your delayed start may be, we remain committed to you and will do all that we can to make sure you remain positioned to succeed.
And while your college career may be starting later, we have many experiences and resources available that will allow you to get involved at Drexel right away. Be sure to visit this page often, as we will be adding special programs and unique opportunities throughout the year.
But most importantly...welcome to Drexel!
