Through a collaboration between ASIS&T and Drexel University Online, you can now earn a top-ranked degree or certificate and receive special tuition rates when you enroll in one of Drexel’s distinguished online programs. (Tuition reductions vary from program to program. To find out the exact reduction you will receive for your program of interest, please click on the Tuition tab at the top of this page.)

The following online programs are available to you at reduced rates through the ASIS&T-Drexel University Online partnership. When you apply, use ASIST as your partner affiliation code to qualify for special tuition rates.

Below is a breakdown of the current tuition reductions available to you through the ASIS&T-Drexel University Online Partnership. To qualify for your tuition reduction, you must enter your organization's affiliation code ASIST on your application to qualify. If you have any questions, please contact us via e-mail at partners@drexel.edu.

*PLEASE NOTE: You must indicate your affiliation code on your application when you apply to receive your tuition reduction. If you neglect to do so, you may submit an e-mail to your Partnership Liaison (see the left hand side of this page) indicating your affiliation and requesting that the appropriate code be added to your application record.  This information must be received by the end of the second week of classes for the term you are applying to.  If it is not, your reduced tuition rate will be applied to the next available term.

Financial Assistance for Your Online Education

You may not realize it – but you could be eligible to receive financial assistance for the Drexel Online academic program you choose. Through aid programs, grants, scholarships, and other student loans listed below, you can subsidize a substantial portion of your education.

Apply Early! It's important to submit your application as soon as possible to be deemed eligible for assistance. If you anticipate being dependent on federal loan or grant programs in order to start classes at Drexel, be aware that any federal loan or grant money for which you qualify will likely not be available to you until 8-10 weeks after you have completed ALL of the following tasks:

• Correctly submitted the FAFSA form
• Correctly submitted the Drexel University Institutional Financial Aid Application
• Submitted an Application for Admission with all supporting material (e.g. all transcripts)

Drexel's posted application deadlines are designed to assure that students are admitted sufficiently in advance of the start of a term to obtain textbooks and complete other start-up and orientation activities. These deadlines are NOT designed to allow sufficient time to guarantee processing of financial aid requests.

Timely receipt of financial aid funds also assumes that the student pre-registers for courses and promptly responds to additional financial aid requests such as signing promissory notes, completion of federally required entrance counseling, and supplying documentation if selected for verification.

To qualify for federal financial aid, you will need to maintain enrollment on at least a half-time basis (6 quarter credits per term for undergraduate students and 4.5 quarter credits per term for graduate students). This generally works out to at least two courses per term. Loans are the only form of federal financial aid available to the vast majority of part-time students.
