Whether you’re preparing for Welcome Weekend, have questions about Orientation, or just need help figuring out your next step, we’ve got your back.
If your question involves Orientation, Welcome Weekend, PMACs, or anything related to your transition to Drake, the Office of New Student Programs has your back.
We are available Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We will respond as soon as we’re able.
FERPA Reminder
As much as we value parent and family involvement, please note that we are unable to share your student’s academic records or private information unless they’ve provided written consent. This is in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
