Graduation

An application for graduation must be submitted within the first two weeks of a student's last semester. Forms are located in the Office of Student Services (150 Ritter Annex). A graduation fee must be paid (at Cash Operations, 2nd Floor, Conwell Hall) prior to applying and the receipt must accompany the completed application.

The coursework summary form (included with the application for graduation) should be submitted by the student to their advisor before the application deadline.

The requirements to earn a bachelor's degree in the College of Education are:

1. A minimum of 128 semester hours (credits). Students need to fulfill all program requirements AND have 128 credits. Credits from ROTC and preparatory courses, such as Math 15, do not count towards the total of 128 needed for graduation.
2. The minimum grade point average that was in effect when you were admitted to candidacy. Secondary Education students must also achieve a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in their major concentration area.
3. Completion of 30 of the last 45 semester hours of academic work at Temple University.
4. Completion of specific requirements as detailed in each program area.
