New CUE Student Orientation Information
Congratulations on your admission to Drew University! Now that you’ve been admitted, it is time to begin preparing for the start of your first semester. While your orientation will be held on January 17th, there are several matters which you should tackle now.
Orientation
Orientation for new CUE students starting at Drew for the spring 2012 semester is scheduled for Tuesday, January 17 from 10 am – 3 pm in Brothers College, room 104. In case of snow, orientation will be held on January 18, at the same time and place.
At orientation, you’ll meet other current as well as incoming CUE students, learn about important policies, procedures and deadlines, have computer and network training, get your ID card, pick up your laptop, and take care of other tasks before classes begin. All new CUE students are required to attend orientation. If you are unable to attend, please notify the Continuing Education Office promptly: 973.408.3400.
Health Forms
All incoming students are required to complete health forms as part of their enrollment. These forms must be completed in full online and in paper. No substitutions for online forms will be accepted.
A complete set of health documents is now available at New Student Documents. Most of these forms can be submitted electronically after completion. Those forms that require your healthcare provider’s signature must be downloaded and sent to Drew University Health Services upon completion. All required paper forms should be placed in a single envelope and submitted to Drew University Health Services. Forms can be dropped off in person or mailed to: Health Services, Drew University, 36 Madison Av., Madison, NJ 07940.
All forms received by Health Services will be reviewed and scanned into your confidential health record by Health Services staff and destroyed. If you prefer to have your documents returned, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your documents and they will be returned to you when Health Services has completed their review.
Your documents are not complete until Health Services has received all online and paper forms. Please be sure to submit your forms before the appropriate due date listed on the instruction page below:
All health forms must be completed before students will be allowed to continue registration or occupy housing. Students without completed health forms may be de-enrolled from classes!
Please note: The physical exam is OPTIONAL for CUE students. That page may be left blank.
A note regarding vaccinations:
- For students who cannot find their childhood records, laboratory proof of immunity is an acceptable alternative to receiving the required vaccines. If the blood test confirms that the student is NOT immune to measles, mumps or rubella, then vaccination for these diseases will be required. The Health Services Office is able to obtain Measles, Mumps, Rubella blood titers (3 titers in one blood test) for a discounted price. Hepatitis B titres are also available. Please contact the Health Services Office at 973.408.3414 to schedule an appointment.
- Vaccinations can be obtained on campus at Drew’s Health Services Office for a fee. Please contact the Health Services Office at 973.408.3414 to schedule an appointment.
- MMR Vaccine
- Menactra (Meningitis: required for residential students only)
- Hepatitis B: 3 doses required
For additional information regarding required health forms, please contact the Health Services Office with any questions: 973.408.3414 or healthed@drew.edu

Please review the steps required to register for your first semester of classes at Drew including information on language placement testing and credit earned elsewhere.
All Drew students are assigned an academic adviser. Students work in consultation with their advisers in making registration selections.
.Please contact Trish Laprey with any questions about advising and registration procedures.
Drew Laptop
All full-time CUE students receive a Drew-supported laptop as part of the technology fee. CUE students who ultimately complete 6 full-time semesters at Drew will fully own their laptop upon graduation. Those CUE students who graduate with fewer than 6 full-time semesters at Drew due to credit transferred in from other institutions will have the option of either paying the balance remaining on the laptop (cost to be determined at a later date) or returning the laptop to Drew and incurring no additional fee. If you are a part-time CUE student, you have the option of purchasing the Drew laptop outright should you wish to do so. Contact Trish Laprey for additional information.
