Registration/Advising
Who Should See An Advisor?
All College of Education students are encouraged to see an advisor every semester. This helps the student in creating an accurate academic plan each semester, while also giving students the opportunity to ask questions about certification exams, possible study abroad, resources at Temple, etc.
Most students are able to register themselves, but should consult an advisor before doing so. Registration is completed by students using Self-Service Banner (SSB) which is available through TUPortal. Registration information and details are available on the Off ice of the University Registrar's pages
Students who MUST see an advisor to register include :
- Students in their first semester at Temple University
- Students on Academic Warning or Probation
- Students who have just been re-enrolled
All other students need to register through Self-Service Banner (SSB): available through TUPortal.
