The Microcomputing Policy also included the standard software available to all students. Students are also urged to purchase Microsoft Office for use in classes. An increasing number of courses in all content areas make extensive use of computer technology, and personal access to a computer is extremely important to the academic program at Drexel University. In addition, students complete administrative tasks electronically. Grades and schedules are obtained online.
Students can register for courses, change their addresses, or request a grade report via a Web site.
The value and importance of microcomputers on campus will continue to grow. All buildings on the Drexel University campus are smoke free, exemplifying the University's commitment to wellness. By action of the Faculty Senate, the Board of Trustees, the Student Health and Development Committee, and the Student Congress, and by the recommendation of the Wellness Committee, Drexel created a smoke-free environment in all campus buildings to protect students, faculty, staff, and guests from the significant dangers of the active and passive inhalation of tobacco smoke. Smoking by students, faculty, administrators, staff, and visitors is not permitted in any University building or vehicle. The exception is single rooms in residence halls and Greek houses.
