Transcripts

January visiting students from other schools may have transcripts sent to their home school, provided their financial account is in order, by filling out and submitting a transcript request to the Registrar Office in Tilghman House.  For more information on requesting a transcript, please visit the Registrar’s web page: Requesting a Transcript.

Please note: you do not need to submit an actual form so long as your written request includes your signature and the information required by Drew’s Registrar’s Office.

Billing

If you have not paid tuition and/or housing fees, you are required to report to the Business Office (located on the 1st floor of Tilghman House) before attending classes.

Refund Policy

Any changes in registration must be filed in writing in person or via email (regist@drew.edu) at the office of the registrar. Any notice of withdrawal becomes official as of the date received in writing. Non attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal. Failure to withdraw officially will result in a grade of “F” for the course. You will also be billed for the cost of the course.  Please note that you only have a short time to drop a course and receive a refund.

I.D. Cards

All students registered for JanTerm courses must obtain an ID card in order to gain access to the library and recreational facilities. You may secure an ID card from the Business Office located in Tilghman House after your JanTerm bill is paid.

Parking Permits

A parking permit is required for all students taking a JanTerm class.  Students who do not have a 2012-2013 parking decal must purchase one for JanTerm.  To do so, please complete a vehicle registration card at the Department of Public Safety (open each day, 24 hours) housed in the Pepin Service Center.  The JanTerm parking fee is $25.  The Department of Public Safety will accept checks and cash, but if you wish to pay via credit card, please go to the Business Office located in Tilghman House.  The Business Office is open Monday – Friday from 9 am to 4pm.

Please park the vehicle you intend to drive outside the  Pepin Service Center, where the Department of Public Safety is located.  Turn the car’s hazard lights on, go to the dispatch desk and tell them you are a JanTerm student.  Before a permit can be issued, Public safety will ask you to produce the following items for review:
-Student ID Card
-Parking Fee Receipt (if parking fee payment was made at the Business Office)
-Driver’s License
-Vehicle Registration
-Insurance

Campus Computer Network and Your Courses

Drew University network accounts are automatically created for all students who are registered for JanTerm courses. For students not currently matriculated at Drew, your log-in and password information will be sent to the email address you provided on your registration form. If you did not provide an email address and/or have not received your Drew network account, please visit the Computer and Network Services (CNS) Helpdesk in the basement of Brothers College. Be sure to bring your Drew ID card (available at the Business Office after your bill has been paid) with you.
