Did you know that almost half of incoming Temple students transfer from other colleges and universities? What makes you a transfer? You need to have attempted (or completed) 15 or more college-levels credits - after high school graduation - by the time you apply.

Usually, we want to see a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 for most programs, but this is not a guarantee of admission - Architecture, Nursing, Pharmacy and Film and Media Arts have higher GPA requirements.

For most programs, transfer students must complete the application process by June 1st for the Fall semester or by November 1 for the Spring semester. The Fall semester transfer application deadline for Music is March 1. The fall priority deadline for Nursing is February 15.

You must request that all high schools and colleges which you previously attended send official transcripts to the Undergraduate Admissions Office at Temple University by these deadlines. SAT or ACT scores are not required if you have earned at least fifteen college-level credits.
