Auditing a Course
There may be circumstances under which a student may wish to audit course (i.e. participate in a class without earning academic credit toward a degree). The student must have special written permission from the course instructor and the Dean of the college in which the course is offered. Full tuition is charged on any audited course. Students may receive permission to audit a course up until the end of the second week of Fall and Spring semester courses and before the end of the third day during the Summer session.

Change of Major
Changes of major within the College are processed at any time during the semester. Please fill out the appropriate Change of Major form available in the CoE Undergraduate Studies Office.

Courses at Another College
Temple University students are occasionally permitted to take courses at other institutions after they are matriculated at Temple. Permission is restricted to those students not living within commuting distance of Temple. Students must complete the appropriate form and return it with the course description to the Undergraduate Studies Office. If the request is approved, the student must have an official transcript sent from the school where the course was taken to the Undergraduate Studies Office. The student should check with that office to ensure that the transcript was received and the credit officially transferred.

Credit/No Credit
Certain courses outside the major can be taken on a credit/no credit basis. This option is limited to Juniors and Seniors with sixty or more credits, who have registered for a minimum of twelve semester hours and have an overall cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Selection is limited to an elective course each semester, with no more than four college “Credit/Noncredit” courses being allowed toward a degree. A student must select CR/NC during the first two weeks of the course.

Graduation Procedures
Those students who have completed 90 semester hours of course work must complete a preliminary graduation plan. This form is available in the departmental offices of the college.

The graduation plan insures that each student planning to graduate has met all the academic requirements for the degree. Additionally, any deficiencies will be tagged, and the student must make arrangements to satisfy them before graduation.

Potential graduates must fill out a graduation application, available at the receptionist’s desk. These forms and a receipt for the $40.00 graduation fee are submitted to the Dean’s office. Mailing the student’s diploma requires an additional $7.50 fee. Both fees are payable at Student Financial Services.

The following are the procedural deadlines for graduation:

• May Graduation – February 15
• August Graduation – June 1
• January Graduation – October 15

Grievance Procedure
Students with an academic grievance should refer it to the Dean or the Ombudsperson of the College. These offices are located on the third floor of the CoE building

INTRA-University Transfer
Transfers to other colleges within Temple are processed during specific times each semester, the dates of which are published in the Schedule of Classes. Please fill out the appropriate Intra-University form available in the CoE Dean’s Office.

Readmission
Any matriculated student who has taken a leave of absence for more than one semester must submit a readmission application upon return. The readmission application may be picked up, completed and returned to the Office of Undergraduate Studies for processing. Also if the student has attended any college or university in the interim, an official transcript should be sent to the College for possible transfer of credit.

Repeating a Course
As of September 1, 2003, a course may be repeated once for a higher grade. After that, all other grades for the same course are averaged into your GPA and all grades will appear on your transcript. The office of Academic Records makes changes automatically.

Complete Withdrawal
Students may take a complete withdrawal from the University by filling out an official withdrawal form and a properly endorsed Drop/Add to the Office of Undergraduate Studies. It is recommended that before students submit a notice of complete withdrawal, they schedule a personal interview with the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Room 326.

Withdrawal Add/Drop
The following table is applicable for schedule revision which involves add/drop and withdrawal from a course. Students are advised to heed the timetable, especially for Summer Sessions. Exact dates are published in the Fall, Spring and Summer Schedule of Classes.
