TreeHouse

TreeHouse provides students, faculty, and staff with a direct link to Drew University's administrative database and resources. It is designed as a convenient way for the University community to access administrative information.

In order to access the TreeHouse options listed below, students need to be in the 'Student' tab.

** At this time, you should access TreeHouse Self Service at selfservice.drew.edu without visiting treehouse.drew.edu or drew.edu/home first. Please see TreeHouse Self Service Session Timeout Errors for more information. **

Registration

All of your student records can be found in TreeHouse Self Service, including registration for any upcoming classes. To access your registration, log in to selfservice.drew.edu and click on either the Student option in the Main Menu or the Students tab along the top. You will find links to registration status, your student account (remember that Nelnet is where you should go for billing information), and other records.

If you have any questions regarding registration, please contact the Registrar's Office.

TreeHouse Ladder

TreeHouse Ladder is a program that helps you track progress toward your degree requirements. It includes a tool to calculate GPA, a class planner for future semesters, as well as a detailed listing of completed courses and courses needed to finish your major and/or minor.

Billing and Account Statements

TreeHouse contains links to your Nelnet account so you can see your current account balance (what you owe the school or vice versa) as well as your account summary. If you have any questions about this, contact Financial Aid or Student Accounts.

You can log in to selfservice.drew.edu and follow the Financial Aid link in the Main Menu or tab along the top to see information about your awards and accept your financial aid (loans) for the year, after taking the direct loan entrance counseling and accepting Drew's terms and conditions of service.

Proxy access 

Proxy access can be given to a parent/guardian/spouse, etc, by a student. This is not mandatory. Unless proxy access is given, no information about the student can be given out by the school.

To grant access, the student will need to log in to selfservice.drew.edu, click on the Proxy Access tab along the top, and follow the directions to set up proxy access.

There is also information for parents in the TreeHouse tab named 'Parents'. This will give information about how to contact the student, and links to information about visiting and various departments on campus, as well as a link to the TreeHouse Proxy Login.

To set up a parent or guardian with access to the student's bill or to make tuition payments, the student will need to add an authorized party in Nelnet. 

Housing, Parking, and Dining Options

The TreeHouse Student page also provides links to Housing SelfService, to register for parking on campus, and to Dining/Meal Plan information.

Library Databases

The Drew University Library has many research resources for students. To learn more about the library resources and research skills, you can visit the Library website, call them at 973-408-3125 or e-mail them at reference@drew.edu.

Network Drives

Network drives are storage locations maintained by University Technology. Each Drewid is allotted a personal F: drive, and most Drewids will see additional network drives, depending on their roles at the University. Additional information can be found at My Network Drives. From off-campus, we suggest using MyFiles (https://myfiles.drew.edu/) to access your drives. More information can be found at MyFiles here in Tech Help.

Off Campus Access

You can access almost all the available technology at Drew from off campus.

Network Drive Files

Using MyFiles, you can access the files from your F: Drive (or a departmental drive you have access to) from anywhere off campus (or when on campus but not logged into the Drew network). Simply go to https://myfiles.drew.edu/ and log in. You will see your F: Drive, and the other network drives, in the navigation pane on the left.

For more help and information on the F: Drive, see Drew University's documentation on My Network Drives.

For more information on MyFiles, see our documentation at MyFiles.

We also created a page for those Working With Network Drive Files in CloudPC.

Please visit Storage and Backup Options for Your Data for suggestions on not losing important work.

CloudPC

CloudPC is accessible off campus the same way that it is on campus, from https://cloudpc.drew.edu/.

For more help, see Drew University's documentation on setting up CloudPC and Using CloudPC.

Drew Email

Your Drew email is accessible off campus the same way that you reach it while on campus, from https://mail.drew.edu/, or by entering your full email address (username@drew.edu) at a Google login.

For more help, see Drew University's documentation on Getting Started with Google.
