Welcome to the Graduate Division of Religion at Drew University! As you embark on graduate study, you begin a new chapter in your academic and professional life, and we are honored to be your partner in this journey. Over the course of the next few months and years you will be challenged to deepen your understanding of your field of study and to expand the base of your knowledge. The days ahead will be filled with excitement, fulfillment, ups and downs, stress and success.
New Student Orientation is scheduled to begin August 26, 2009.
Fall 2009 classes begin August 31, 2009.
Earlier in the week, before orientation begins, you can visit the Business Office to pay for your parking decal and obtain a student ID card, visit Public Safety to have the parking decal installed, visit the campus bookstore to browse textbooks, and check-in with Residence Life to move into your assigned housing (be sure to double check with Res. Life before arriving: 973-408-3394). You will also have time on Thursday afternoon to attend to these matters.

Please note: when entering campus on 8/26/2009, college freshman will be moving into dormitories, severely limiting parking availability. All vehicle traffic must enter campus at the Lancaster Rd. entrance. When stopped by Public Safety at this entrance, please inform the officer that you are a GDR student; you will be directed to the appropriate parking area in the Main Lot.
