Course transfers will not be reviewed after the student's second term at Drexel University.
• Employee-Assisted Tuition Deferred Payment Plan - Drexel University has established a deferred payment plan for students attending the University as part of an employer education assistance program. Students accepted into this plan may defer payment of the portion of their tuition reimbursable under their employers' program until the end of the first week of classes of the next term.
• Entering Course Waivers (Statement of Curriculum Standing Form*) At the time of admittance to graduate programs at LeBow College of Business, you will receive a Statement of Curriculum Standing (SCS). If you did not receive this statement, visit the LeBow Office of Graduate Studies (Matheson 105) and obtain a copy for your records. The SCS form indicates which Enterprise Management courses from which you have been waived, if any. Attached to the SCS will be an explanation of evaluation rules. In the event that a course submitted is not accepted for credit on the basis of content, you may appeal the decision to the adviser. No other appeals are accepted.

  NOTE: You have until the end of your first term at Drexel University to dispute any waivers. Adjustments to the SCS will not be made after the first term of study.

• Student Guide* - A downloadable version of the Student Guide. This is the most up-to-date and complete information resource for all students. It includes relevant graduate student policies, and enrollment and graduation instructions. The student guide is also available at LeBow Office of Graduate Studies (Matheson 105).
