Registration Information

Overview
If you are working full-time in the pharmaceutical industry, we strongly urge you to start the program with just one course. After you have gotten used to returning to school, you may wish to increase your course load to two classes per semester.

First Time Registration:
How do you get started taking courses in the QA/RA program?  All you need to do is to register for a course!  To do so, you must submit the QA/RA registration form AND the state residency form.  Both of these forms can be found under FORMs.  You may also obtain these forms by calling the QA/RA Office at 267.468.8560.   All registrations are processed on a first-come/first-served basis, so it’s to your advantage to register early, so you assure your spot in a course.  The QA/RA staff will call you if there is a problem with your registration.  Your registration is confirmed, when you receive a bill from Temple. You may also register in person at our Open Houses.

Continuing Registration:  
If you have previously completed a QA/RA course at the Fort Washington campus, you are eligible to register through OwlNet. This computerized registration system enables you to register yourself for classes or change your schedule on-line. OwlNet registration information is mailed directly to your home.

Course Offerings:
Fall and spring courses are offered one night per week over a fifteen-week semester. All classes meet for a total of 36 hours; depending upon the faculty member’s schedule, the class may meet 10 times for 3 ½ hours, 12 times for 3 hours, or 14 times for 2 ½ hours. Classes start anytime after 4:30 pm.
Our weekend courses are scheduled on either Saturday and Sunday. The M.S. in QA/RA program can be completed entirely through weekend or weeknight courses. Students are welcome to take courses from any grid.

Summer Sessions:
Summer sessions begin in mid-May and run through August. Required and elective courses are scheduled each summer, enabling students to start the program any time of year. All summer classes are scheduled to meet for 36 hours.
