Students with a disability are directed to meet with the Disability Resources and Services (DRS) coordinator, Susan McCaffrey. An official letter will be given to the student outlining the academic accommodations. In turn, the student will present this letter to the instructor, who must treat all information with confidentiality. Testing accommodations, such as extended time or distraction-free testing, may be coordinated by the DRS office; the student should discuss these issues with the instructor prior to the test. The student should have a testing accommodation form available to clarify the decisions. If students ask for special accommodations due to a disability but do not have an official letter, faculty may refer them to the DRS office to coordinate the effort.
When publishing syllabi, please include the contact information for Ambler in the disability disclosure statement.
An example would be:
Any student who has a need for accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately to discuss the specific situation as soon as possible. Contact Disability Resources and Services at 267-468-8200 in West Hall 109 to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.

All current Temple faculty, students, administration, and staff may borrow materials from Temple’s Libraries using their TUid.
For most Temple Libraries, the loan period for faculty, administration, and graduate students is for the semester. For undergraduates, staff, and courtesy borrowers, it is four weeks. There is a limit of three renewals.
Books and journal articles from other Temple campuses may be requested using the online forms on the Libraries’ Web site (www.library.temple.edu). Logging into “My Library Account” allows library users to see what items they have checked out and also to renew items. Fines are assessed for the late return of materials for most categories of borrowers.
The Library can obtain journal articles, books, book chapters, and other materials not owned by Temple. Request forms are available on the Libraries’ Web site. Most articles and other materials that were traditionally supplied as photocopies are now available in PDF format via the Web delivery service.
Temple Libraries provide access to networked electronic resources for use by faculty, students, and staff with valid University AccessNet accounts. A valid TUid is required to use electronic resources in the library. Online resources that are restricted to use by Temple affiliates can be accessed from off-campus.
The Ambler Learning Center has become the hub of teaching with technology on campus.
Formally dedicated in October 2006, the $18 million, 72,000-square-foot building includes 11 multimedia classrooms, seven computer teaching laboratories, 385 computers, a distance-learning facility, fully integrated technology, including wireless access throughout the building, a math-science-writing tutorial center, two art studios, a café, and a 300-seat auditorium/small lecture hall.
The state-of-the-art Ambler Campus Technology (ACT) Center is a 90-seat all-purpose technology facility with software applications serving all Temple University curricula.

Temple University Ambler and Temple University Fort Washington (TUFW) have written procedures to provide both students and faculty the proper course of action to resolve all academic grievances arising in any course. Grievances must be filed within six months of the occurrence of the alleged grievance.
The procedures involve five steps:
- Students first must make a reasonable attempt to speak with the instructor concerned and to provide copies of all relevant documents to the instructor. If the problem is not resolved, the student should speak with the Department Chair. If the problem is still not resolved, the student should contact the Student Ombudsperson and/or the appropriate Administrator.
- If the conflict persists, the student may appeal in writing to the Department Chair. The Chair will consider the case and render a written report within 15 days.
- If the conflict is not resolved, the dissatisfied party may appeal in writing to the Chair of the Faculty Responsibility and Student Grievance Committee. If the Chair determines that the complaint is not frivolous, the Chair will convene the Student Appeal and Grievance Subcommittee of the Faculty and Student Grievance Committee.
- The Campus Dean will review the subcommittee’s recommendations and render a final decision.
- When appeal warrants review beyond Ambler or TUFW, students, faculty, or the Dean may appeal to the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies or the Graduate Board Student Appeals Committee.
