office at a school, college or agency.
Sign and date your application.

DO NOT COMPLETE THIS APPLICATION IF…
    · you previously attended Temple as a degree candidate (matriculated student). Instead, complete a Request to
    • Re-enroll form, available online at admissions.temple.edu/re-enroll.
    · you have already earned a bachelor’s degree and wish to take courses as a nonmatriculated student or obtain
    • certification from one of our schools or colleges. Instead, complete a Special Student Application, available
    • from the dean’s office of the college in which you wish to enroll or from the Office of Continuing Studies (215-204-2550).
    · you are an international student. If you are not a U.S. citizen and will require a non-immigrant visa, you must complete

TRANSFER APPLICANTS
You are a transfer applicant if you have attempted 15 or more credits at a regionally accredited college or university after
graduating from high school or earning a GED diploma. You must authorize all high schools and colleges you attended to
send official copies of your transcripts to the Admissions Office. Return your completed application and fee directly to the
Admissions Office.

DECISION PROCESS
Once we have received all the required documentation— a signed application, the $55 fee, high school and college transcripts,
and SAT/ACT/GED/TOEFL/PTE scores (if applicable)—we can make an admission decision. We may initially review a completed
application and request additional information before making a final decision.
Students are considered on a Rolling Admissions basis; decisions begin in October for spring applications and in January for
fall applications. Applicants are notified within four to six weeks of submitting a completed application, although we hold some
applications for a second review; decisions about these applications will be made after the six-week time frame. Decisions are
made by professional admissions staff members, who take into consideration college and high school (if applicable) grades,
your essay, and other relevant information.

                                                                                                               Transfer Application   1
