Our students immerse themselves in a world of limitless potential and we look forward to welcoming your student to the Jefferson family. We're here to help as you navigate the next steps in the admissions process.
In this short video you'll hear how we make the seemingly impossible, possible.
We’re so happy to hear you and your student are thinking about joining the Jefferson family! The first thing to do is submit your student's enrollment deposit; this is what guarantees their seat in our incoming class.
Admitted students can confirm their enrollment on the MyJefferson portal.
After depositing, your student will receive an invitation to our Destination Jefferson virtual on-boarding program, which begins in early May. Destination Jefferson will provide information on the next steps to enroll at Jefferson, such as completing placement exams, our housing application and more!
Yes, you can schedule an on-campus tour! We have special on-campus programs planned in the spring for specific colleges and programs. Learn more about upcoming events on our Admitted Student Experience site.

Thomas Jefferson University remains committed to providing our students with the high quality education they deserve. Visit our Tuition & Fees website for additional information.
In order for your student to save their space to begin at Jefferson for Fall 2026 they must make a deposit by May 1. Enrolled students will then be billed after they choose courses over the summer. Course selection is part of the Destination Jefferson program, our new student on-boarding program.
Please know that we want your student at Jefferson in the fall and we will help as best we can to make that happen. If you have concerns, please contact our Office of Financial Aid at financialaid@jefferson.edu to discuss your circumstances with a counselor. We may ask you and your student to complete an Income Adjustment Form.
Campus is located in picturesque East Falls, in northwest Philadelphia. This area is full of green spaces and unique neighborhoods. We’re just a few minutes from quaint Manayunk, with its Main Street full of shops and restaurants; from Wissahickon Park, full of trails and nature; and from the Schuylkill River, lined with bike paths.
We’re also only a short ride from Center City, which offers big-city shopping, museums, theatres, sporting events and much more.
Campus dining offers several options, and are made with local, fresh ingredients.
Ted’s Barista is the place to go for Starbucks coffee, pizza, ready-to-eat sandwiches and other light fare. Common Thread and Ravenhill Dining Hall are large cafeterias with stations for soups; salads; sandwiches; customizable breakfasts, grain bowls and pastas; fresh Mexican food; rotating themes like barbecue, cheesesteaks and pierogis; and, of course, snacks and desserts. Chicken fingers Thursdays are can’t-miss and each semester’s midnight breakfast helps students study for exams!
For medical needs, students have the Student Health Center, located right on campus in Scholler Hall. Students are able to make same-day appointments for illness, injury, annual exams and more.
The Gallagher Athletic, Recreation & Convocation Center provides students with state-of-the-art workout equipment, exercise classes and experts in physical fitness.
Jefferson supports students’ mental and emotional health through the Student Counseling Center. All counselors are licensed and certified and can help students with adjusting to college life, substance use concerns, depression–anything they want to talk about.
