General Information

Students planning to register for classes should obtain a Class Schedule. Separate editions are produced for the fall, spring, and summer semesters. These publications list the time and location of all courses offered. Copies are available in each advising office. These listings are also available on the web at the Course Schedule Website at www.temple.edu/tu_courses .

Advising is required prior to initial registration for students who must register at terminals and is strongly recommended for all students who register through the DiamondLine (215.204.2525) or OWLnet at owlnet.temple.edu. Students should contact their school, college, or department advisers for appointments or information. Generally, advisers and students review options and requirements, select courses, and complete and sign a registration form when necessary. For further information on academic advising, please see Advising under Student Support and Services section of the Bulletin.

Also, read the General Registration and Online Registration Information (the DiamondLine and OWLnet) provided on the website of the Office of Academic Records.

Registration Policies

Enrollment is not complete until payment of tuition and fees has been made and processed through the Department of the Bursar. Failure to satisfy financial obligations may result in cancellation of a student's current registration; withholding of official transcripts, grades, degrees, and diplomas; denial of the right to register for future sessions; and the assessment of late fees and collection costs.

Students who withdraw from classes by the end of term's drop/add period (the end of the second week of the fall and spring semesters and summer session) will have the courses deleted from their rosters. This will relieve them of academic responsibility and in many instances financial responsibility associated with the course.

Students who withdraw from classes after the drop/add period are responsible for full payment of all tuition and fees. Unpaid tuition balances may be referred for collection and students held liable for paying all associated collection costs and/or legal fees.

Continuing Student Registration

Continuing Student Registration is the period in which all currently enrolled, matriculated students are required to register Each semester, currently enrolled students are mailed a brochure that outlines the registration schedule and contains important information regarding advising. An installment tuition payment plan is available for students who register for the fall or spring semesters during this period. See Tuition and Fees section of the Bulletin as well as the printed Class Schedule for payment information.

Please note the following important information with respect to continuing registration for matriculated students (graduates and undergraduates) enrolled in the current semester:

· For fall semester, held mid-March to mid-April, with initial fall semester bills mailed beginning in late July and due mid-August)

· For spring semester, held mid-October to mid-November, with initial spring semester bills mailed beginning in late November and due in late December)

· Continuing, matriculated students (graduates and undergraduates) may continue to register beyond these dates but must register for their next semester by stated deadlines or risk a late registration penalty. Generally, they must be registered for the spring semester no later than the last day of the fall semester and for the fall semester by July 31. See the Continuing Student Registration brochure, Registration Dates & Information, and the Class Schedule for the specific deadlines each spring and fall semester.

Open Registration

· For new students, readmitted students, and continuing students who could not register during continuing student registration
· For fall semester, held mid-April to late August
· For spring semester, held late November to mid-January

An installment tuition payment plan is available for most students who register during this period. See Tuition and Fees and the Class Schedule for payment information and registration dates.

Late Registration

Temple conducts late registration at the beginning of each semester or summer session. Registration appointments may be required. 

A late fee of $50.00* will be assessed beginning the first day of classes in the fall and spring semesters and each summer session. No initial registrations or registration revisions will be processed after the 2nd week of classes of the fall and spring semesters and third day of the summer sessions. These charges and restrictions apply to both initial and reinstated registrations and are subject to change.

* This fee is assessed earlier to continuing matriculated students who delay their registration. See Continuing Student Registration above.

Schedule Revision (Drop/Add)

Students may revise their schedules at any time after they have registered. Students who cannot register by phone or web but wish to make changes in their course schedules should complete a Schedule Revision (Drop/Add) form. Approvals required vary according to the time the transaction is completed and the student's college. See the Schedule Revision Matrix in the printed Class Schedule for information.

These students must:
· Obtain a schedule revision form from their advising office.
· Complete form with appropriate signatures.
· Take the completed form to their campus registration office.

Students may not add courses or change course sections after the first week of fall and spring semesters and third day of the summer sessions. Withdrawing from a course within the first two weeks of the fall and spring semesters or the summer session results in the deletion of the class from the student's roster. In some instances, it also relieves the student of the financial liability associated with the deleted course. If a refund is due, the provisions of the refund policy will apply.

A charge of $12.00 is assessed for schedule revision after the first week of classes during the fall and spring semesters and after the first two days of the summer sessions. This fee is assessed each day that a revision is transacted.
