The College of Liberal Arts Advising Center is dedicated to helping students understand their academic requirements, deadlines, and policies of Temple University. Because of this, we have developed this web page of Advising Tools that are designed to help students in each of these areas.
The Advising Center has composed a document outlining the requirements for graduation from the College of Liberal Arts. This document shows the departments within the College of Liberal Arts, the semester hour requirements for graduation, the language requirement, and more. The collegial requirements can be found here.
The Advising Center has developed a brochure of the most frequently asked questions. This brochure is designed to provide students with answers regarding Advising at Temple without requiring an appointment, e-mail, or phonecall. You can access this brochure here.
At Temple University, e-mail is the official means of communication. When using this official means of communication, it is important to follow certain procedures in order to make sure that your message is being conveyed clearly and you are able to receive the quickest response possible. To access these e-mail guidelines, click here. Also, included in this document is information regarding Advising Session Reports.
Each semester, the College of Liberal Arts compiles a document with many of the important dates to remember. This document provides add/drop/withdraw deadlines and processes by which a student may add/drop/withdraw from a course.
