We are committed to making students’ voices heard by our administration and faculty, and stay in close contact with the people that make our university function so smoothly.  Sean Murphy and I have chosen to share the role of SLA Chair, a position that meets regularly with faculty and the other branches of USGA.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email Sean (sjm64@drexel.edu) or me (att28@drexel.edu) and we will work to make this campus better for you.

 Getting a 10 percent SEPTA discount on your monthly pass is a easy as 1-2-3 if you're a full-time student.

  1. Visit the ComPass Web site
  2. Log into DrexelOne and go to the Student Tabs. The link to order will be in the bottom right corner.
  3. Your information will be pre-loaded; choose your pass, pick-up location, method of payment, and submit!

Passes will be available one week before the month begins that the pass is for.

REMEMBER: Passes MUST be ordered 8-5 weeks in advance as per SEPTA (the deadline will be the fourth Monday at 5 p.m. of each month). Sounds confusing? For example, October's pass must be ordered by August 27 at 5 p.m. and November's by September 24 at 5 p.m.

For more information, contact slr52@drexel.edu.
