We are so excited to welcome you to the Drew community!
Orientation is your official welcome to The Forest! It is designed to ease your transition and start your Drew University journey with confidence. You’ll engage with the people and resources available to you, make connections with classmates, faculty, and staff across campus.
Summer Orientation – June 23 or 24, 2025
Spend a day on campus with your future classmates getting Ranger Ready.
You’ll connect with Orientation Leaders and other new students, engage with staff in Student Financial Services, Campus Life, and Advising, take a residence hall tour, and take part in a Block Party. And, there will be special sessions just for parents and families on how to support your Drew student.
Academic Advising & Course Registration
The first step in your academic journey is to plan your courses for the Fall 2025 semester during a one-on-one virtual appointment with your summer faculty advisor.
Get started by completing your Summer Advising and Course Selection and Drew Seminar (DSEM) Selection forms in your student portal. Once those are received, your appointment will be scheduled.
Your summer advisor will prepare personalized course recommendations for you based on your academic interests and whether you are playing a sport, working, or commuting. During your advising appointment you will discuss, review, and finalize your schedule.
