In most cases, graduate students will apply directly to the program that they wish to be admitted to when they enter Temple University. However, a number of programs have their students apply through the Graduate Admissions office.
Students returning to college may also take a limited number of courses as a non-matriculated student (a student who has not yet been accepted for admission to the University). In order to register, you must see an academic advisor from the Office of Continuing Studies. At the Center City campus, students should set up an appointment with our Academic and Student Services Coordinator or call 215-204-4358. We are always happy to provide you with information about the academic programs offered at the center city campus.
Undergraduate academic advising is available by appointment for Fox School of Business students and College of Liberal Arts students.
