Winter Term Move-In, Face-to-Face Classes Delayed: Based on new city and state guidance, Drexel will be postponing the move-in to campus housing from January 4 ...along with the start of face-to-face instruction. Remote instruction will begin January 11, move-in days begin on January 16, and in-person classes will begin January 25.
