Academic Policies and Regulations

Please see Academic Policies and Regulations. Students are responsible for complying with all University-wide academic policies that apply to their individual academic status. Additional and unique policies, or exceptions, for Ambler College appear below.

Dean's List

A student whose semester average is 3.5 or above is awarded the distinction of being placed on the Ambler College Dean's List. To be eligible, a full-time student must be matriculated, carry at least 12 credits of graded courses in that semester, and achieve a grade point average of at least 3.5. A part-time matriculated student must have completed the fall semester and following spring semester with a combined total of at least 12 semester hours of graded course work and achieved a combined two-semester grade point average of 3.5 or above. Students whose semester grades include one or more MG (Missing Grade), NR (Not Reported), or unresolved I (Incomplete) are excluded from consideration since grade changes may affect cumulative grade point averages.

Readmission/Reinstatement

Ambler College students who have voluntarily withdrawn from the University and wish to return must file the appropriate form if they had one semester (fall or spring) or more of non-attendance. Forms may be obtained in the Office of Academic Services, West Hall, Lower Level 11. Before a readmission decision can be made, the student is requested to indicate any course taken since leaving Temple, and provide a copy of an official transcript from each institution attended. Both the academic advisor and the student have the right to request an interview as part of the procedure. Students who received a medical withdrawal may be asked to provide medical documentation clearing them to return to school and to schedule an interview with an advisor before a readmission decision can be made.

Students who were dismissed for academic reasons should see the University policy on Academic Warning, Probation, Dismissal, and Reinstatement.

Second Degrees

Students who have earned a Bachelor's degree may earn a second bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture or Horticulture. Students who are interested in Community and Regional Planning should consider enrolling in the Community and Regional Planning Master of Science degree program. Schools and colleges may waive up to 9 credits of degree requirements outside the second major for students who already have a bachelor's degree. See Academic Policies and Regulations.

Student Grievance Procedures

All students have the right to adjudicate grievances concerning academic matters in a fair and expeditious manner. Consult your academic advisor for information on procedures.   Non-academic grievances should be directed to the Ambler campus Office of Student Life.  Also see http://www.temple.edu/bulletin/Responsibilities_rights/rights/rights.shtm#grievance
