- What do I need from my high school to take
a course at Temple University?
- Your guidance counselor must provide a
letter of support on official school letterhead. Please
bring this letter with you to your appointment.
- An official high school transcript
- Do I need a certain high school grade
point average to be approved?
- We recommend that your grade point
average be at least a “B” (3.0).
- Do I need to take placement tests?
- It depends on the course that you want
to schedule. Placement test scores are necessary, if you
intend to take English Composition, a mathematics course, a
foreign language course, or writing intensive course. Your
test results will determine the course level that you would
be able to schedule.
- Will you accept Advanced Placement (AP)
credits as meeting a prerequisite for a specific Temple
University course?
- Yes. Please bring your official score
with you to your appointment.
- Can I pay for the class after I complete
it?
- No. Be prepared to pay the
“per/credit” costs, as well as any associated fees by the
due date.
- Is there a minimum age/grade level
requirement to take a course at Temple University?
- We recommend that students who wish to
take courses in the summer have completed their junior year
(11th grade).
- Depending on their grade level,
students may be asked to provide two-three letters that
affirm their readiness (maturity) to successfully complete a
college-level course, e.g. from an instructor in the subject
area of the course that you wish to take.
- If I plan to attend Temple University
after I complete high school, do I still have to apply if I have
already begun taking courses?
- Yes. Attending summer school does not
exempt you from the formal admissions application.
- How do I register for a course? Please
contact the appropriate Continuing Education Office and bring
with you an official high school transcript, a letter of support
from your high school guidance counselor on school district
letterhead, and your official AP scores, if appropriate. You
may be asked for additional information depending on your
grade-level and the course that you wish to register for.
