Intra-University Transfer:
In order to transfer into the College of Science and Technology (CST), a student must meet with an advisor in the Office of Student Services. The advisor will evaluate the student's record in accordance with the following policy:
1. Students in their first semester at Temple University who wish to transfer into the College of Science and Technology will be automatically approved, provided that they are taking a core- or GenEd- level Mathematics course or have satisfied the core Mathematics requirement.
2. Continuing students who wish to transfer into the College of Science and Technology must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or higher and must have completed both a core- or GenEd- level Mathematics course and a core- or GenEd- level Science (or additional core- or GenEd- level Mathematics) course, both with a grade of C (2.0) or better.
To IUT to CST, you must first meet with an CST advisor. During your advising appointment, you must fill out an Intra-University (IUT) for Undergraduate Students Application. If the IUT application is approved, the advisor will inform you about a CST-IUT Orientation. Students are required to attend a CST-IUT Orientation. The IUT is not complete until an orientation is completed. The Office of Student Services will request your file from your original Temple school or college and change your major after you attend an orientation. Students may sign up for a CST-IUT Orientation in Office of Student Services - 1810 Liacouras Walk, suite 203. IUTs can not be processed during January and August and subject to change.
