- Early Decisionin about 2 months
Drexel University Early Decision deadline
Drexel's Early Decision deadline is November 15 (not November 1, a common mix-up). Early Decision is binding: an admit must attend Drexel and withdraw other applications. Decisions come in mid-December and the tuition and housing deposits are due January 15.
If you miss it: An Early Decision admit is committed to Drexel and must deposit by January 15, well before other schools respond.
- CSS Profilein about 2 months
Drexel CSS Profile deadline for Early Decision and Early Action applicants
Drexel needs the CSS Profile, a College Board form separate from the FAFSA, to consider you for its own need-based grants. Early Decision and Early Action applicants must submit it by November 25, just ten days after the application.
If you miss it: No CSS Profile by November 25 means no Drexel need-based grant consideration, and Drexel says it may even affect the admission decision.
- Regular Decisionin about 4 months
Drexel University Regular Decision deadline
Drexel's Regular Decision applications are due January 15, with decisions released by April 1 and deposits due May 1.
If you miss it: Drexel does not read first-year fall applications submitted after January 15.
- Financial aidin about 4 months
Drexel FAFSA priority submission deadline
February 1 is Drexel's FAFSA priority deadline for all fall decision plans, Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision. The FAFSA is what qualifies you for federal and state need-based aid.
If you miss it: Filing after February 1 can cost federal and state need-based awards that are given out in priority order.
- CSS Profilein about 4 months
Drexel CSS Profile deadline for Regular Decision applicants
Regular Decision applicants to Drexel must submit the CSS Profile by February 1 to be considered for Drexel's institutional need-based grants. This is a separate form from the FAFSA and it happens after the January 15 application deadline.
If you miss it: Skipping the CSS Profile leaves you eligible only for federal and state aid, not Drexel's own grant money.
- Depositin about 7 months
Drexel tuition and housing deposit deadline (Early Action / Regular Decision)
Early Action and Regular Decision admits pay the tuition and housing deposits by May 1. Early Decision admits pay much earlier, January 15.
If you miss it: No deposit by the deadline and Drexel releases both the seat and the housing hold.
