The University is actively engaged in offering both credit and non-credit continuing education courses and programs that meet the educational needs of adults, companies, agencies, and institutions in eastern Pennsylvania. Post-Baccalaureate Non-Degree Students Students who have earned an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution of higher education can enroll in graduate courses, even before they are formally admitted into a graduate degree program. Before they can register, students should contact the department of choice for proper academic advising. In some cases, they may need to secure special authorization of the department involved before they can register. Evidence of having completed an undergraduate degree will be required at the time of registration. With the approval of the graduate department, credit may be granted toward a graduate degree for a maximum of nine semester hours taken at Temple, if and when the student applies for and is admitted into a degree program. Post-baccalaureate non-degree students can take an unlimited number of undergraduate courses, provided they show proof of having successfully completed any prerequisites.

Steve Young, Director The Department of Recreation Services offers a wide variety of recreational sports opportunities for student, faculty, and staff to pursue in their leisure hours. The total program encompasses seven major components: informal recreation, intramurals, sport clubs, group fitness, aquatics, special events and programs, and adapted recreation. Activities range from structured, competitive leagues to self-directed fitness avenues. In the spring of 1998, the brand new Independence Blue Cross Student Recreation Center opened its doors with the student in mind. The 59,000-square foot facility provides participants with a first-class environment for fitness conditioning, aerobics, martial arts, racquetball, indoor jogging, and special events. The Rec Center is now complemented by the new Student Pavilion, a 30,000-square foot multi-purpose gymnasium area that opened in May of 1999. This new facility provides students with court space for basketball, volleyball, badminton, and other activities.
