See Academic Policies and Regulations for the list of accepted CLEP tests and the Temple course equivalencies. Temple also requires the same high school units of transfer students as of freshmen. Applicants must submit official transcripts from high school and each college previously attended. Ordinarily, SAT or ACT scores are not required unless specifically requested by the Admissions Office. An evaluation showing accepted transfer credits and a list of Temple course equivalencies are sent to students who are admitted.
Evaluations are based on the major students indicate on their applications.
Transfer Credit Traditionally, Temple accepts all college-level, liberal arts courses beyond the developmental level. These courses must have been completed with a grade of C or better and taken at an accredited institution. The number of credits that students can transfer from a four-year institution depends on their declared Temple major. However, to earn a degree from Temple, students must complete at least the last 30 semester hours as a matriculated student at Temple and fulfill all of the degree requirements of the college or school in which they are enrolled. Whenever possible, credit is allowed for courses completed more than 10 years before the date of admission.
