Attention New Freshmen and Transfer Students

If you are a new undergraduate student at Temple this year, this Bulletin contains the requirements of programs into which you will be enrolling. For that reason, your advisors may refer to Fall 2024 as "your Bulletin year."

All new undergraduate students are required to complete the university's General Education (GenEd) curriculum.

New freshmen are required to complete the GenEd curriculum. Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and Dual Enrollment credits may fulfill GenEd areas. Students who have fewer than 15 transferable credits are considered freshmen. Additionally, students whose transfer credits were earned while in high school, regardless of the number of transfer credits, are considered freshmen.

New transfer students are required to complete some version of the GenEd curriculum. (See the Transfer Students section of this Bulletin.) Students who attempted 15 or more transferrable credits after high school and prior to being admitted to Temple University are considered transfer students.

Attention Current Students

Current students who started at Temple University before Fall 2024 should refer to the Archives to find the requirements of their program of study for their Bulletin year.
