COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus—Update from The Office of Admission
The Office of Admission is taking precautions to protect our students, faculty and staff, and prospective students from the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
We have updated our visit programs to provide prospective students opportunities to explore Drake remotely through a Digital Drake Overview, Virtual Admitted Student Days, and our Virtual Tour. All on-campus group programs and individual visits through May have been canceled or moved online.
Ongoing updates from the University are available on the COVID-19 Response website.
