Academic Policies & Regulations

The university policies and regulations apply to all undergraduate students and provide a framework within which schools and colleges may specify further conditions or variations appropriate to students in their courses or programs. Policies specific to FSBM are as follows: 

Anticipation of Graduation

Students must submit an application for graduation using the University online graduation application in Self Service Banner prior to the Continuing Student Registration period for their final semester. The Fox School of Business and Management requires students to submit an electronic "Request for Graduation Review" prior to registration for their final semester. Current graduation information is available from the Center for Undergraduate Advising.

Courses Inapplicable to Graduation Requirements

Semester hours earned in SRAP or ELECT, Preparatory Mathematics (formerly Mathematics 0001 or 0015), and lower-division (under 3000) Military Science courses do not yield academic credit toward the minimum total of 124. 

Credit is only awarded in academic subjects with a corresponding Temple department. Duplicate credit in the same course is not awarded in any case.

Students will not receive credits for lower-level courses after successful completion of higher-level courses in sequenced courses of study. This only applies to the First Year Writing sequence in English (ENG 0701-ENG 0802) and all courses in Mathematics and Foreign Languages. For example, after passing SPAN 1002, a student will not receive credits for SPAN 1001.

Co-Requisites and Prerequisites

Students may be de-enrolled from courses for which they do not meet prerequisites and co-requisites. (Please see the Prerequisites and Co-requisites policy for more information.) Students are responsible for reviewing and abiding by all course prerequisites and co-requisites in the Course Catalog. The requirements are designed to assure that students are appropriately prepared to be successful in their courses. Prerequisites provide an efficient manner for students to register for the next course in a sequence for which they are prepared. 

Dean's List

Each fall and spring semester, those undergraduates who have met the credit hour and academic criteria for their school or college are placed on the Dean's List. See the Dean's List policy for specific GPA and credit-hour requirements.

Probation and Dismissal

Students in the Fox School of Business and Management are bound by the university policy on Academic Standing.

Grade Point Average Requirement for Graduation

Fox students are required to attain a 2.0 (2.0 = C) average in all of their Temple coursework and in their major in order to graduate from the Fox School of Business and Management. Some courses may have specific higher minimum grade requirements for degree applicability. Please check current course descriptions and the section pertaining to your major for this information.

Life Experience

The Fox School of Business and Management does not offer credits for life experiences. Please see Credit for Prior Learning under the Academic Policies section of this Bulletin for information about advanced placement or CLEP examinations.

Leave of Absence/Re-enrollment/Reinstatement

Fox students who wish to voluntarily withdraw from the university for one or two semesters (fall and/or spring) are strongly encouraged to apply for a Leave of Absence (LOA). If approved, these students remain eligible for the same requirements as when they declared their major and will have access to Temple e-mail, university library systems, and priority and self registration for the approved semester of return. By contrast, students who leave the university without any notice and without an approved LOA must apply to be re-enrolled and, if allowed to return, must follow the most recent university curricular requirements in place for the semester of their return. If no LOA was filed, before students return, they must indicate any course(s) taken since leaving Temple and provide a copy of an official transcript from each institution attended. 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 re-enrollment decision can be made. Any existing holds must be cleared prior to re-enrollment.

Leave of Absence and Re-enrollment instructions are available online. Further details can be viewed at Policy_02.10.16.

Students who were dismissed for academic reasons should see the university policy on Academic Standing.

Repeating Courses

University policy restricts the number of times students can enroll in the same course to three times. Permission is required to register for the third attempt of the same course and is not guaranteed for all Fox majors. Students should work closely with an academic advisor to review their options when required to repeat a course. Students who fail to complete a "College Graduation Requirement" in three attempts will be required to change their program to one outside the Fox School of Business and Management. Students who fail to complete a required major course listed in their academic program will be required to change to a different major. For more information, see Repeating a Course and Policy 02.10.12.

Residence Requirement

A minimum of 45 of the last 60 semester hours must be completed in the Fox School of Business and Management at Temple University in order to receive a degree. In addition, a minimum of 50% of the business courses and the majority of the requirements of a major must be completed at Temple University. For more information, see the Academic Residency Requirements.

Permission to Complete Courses at Another Institution

Consistent with the University Policy students will not receive transfer credit for courses taken at another institution while they are matriculated at Temple University unless prior permission has been obtained. The required Permission to Take Courses Elsewhere workflow is available under the University Forms channel within Student Tools tab in TUportal. Please refer to the above section on transfer credits. Students should allow approximately two weeks for processing once requests and documentation have been submitted. For more information, refer to Permission to Complete a Course at another Institution after Matriculation.

Non-Degree Seeking Student Policy

Students not formally admitted to Temple University may take undergraduate courses numbered under 3000 in the Fox School of Business and Management. Undergraduate courses numbered above 3000 are open to visiting students who have completed a minimum of 60 credits, have met course prerequisites, and have written permission from their home institution. Students who have a baccalaureate degree and the prerequisites for the course desired may also enroll in advanced courses.

College Graduation Requirements

The Fox School of Business and Management offers two undergraduate degrees: a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.). The B.B.A. degree gives students a broad-based education, including foundation and chosen major coursework. The B.S. degree is for those students who wish for more specialized training in the field of Statistical Science and Data Analytics.

Fox Leadership Development Program (FLDP)

In an effort to ensure our future graduates are positioned for career advancement, the Fox School of Business and Management requires all undergraduate students to participate in the Fox Leadership Development Program (FLDP). Hosted by the Suitable web site, the FLDP will strengthen competencies that companies/recruiters regularly look for in potential employees. By participating in a robust year-long schedule of activities, students will be able to show fundamental skills in these competencies: Community Engagement, Ethics, Global Awareness, Personal/Professional Development, and Financial Literacy.

The Fox School of Business and Management will expect all undergraduate students to earn 250 FLDP points by the end of each of their academic years. There are many low point activities (attending SPO meetings, speaker events, etc.) and numerous high point activities (internships, study abroad, etc.). Students will need to earn at least 20 points in each competency, but they can decide what they want to participate in. Once minimum point levels are reached in the competency areas, students will have the ability to earn remaining needed points in any area of specialization. They will also be able to "level up" in each competency area, displaying continual growth and development skill sets to potential employers.

For more information, please visit the Fox Leadership Development Program site.

Fox Laptop Mandate

Academic Advising

Center for Undergraduate Advising

https://www.fox.temple.edu/advising/

The Center for Undergraduate Advising provides advising at Main campus, Ambler campus, and online.

The Main Campus office is open every weekday. The Ambler office is open on selected days and evenings by appointment. Please see our web site for current office hours.

Our purpose is to provide quality academic advising services that empower students to make informed decisions about their education, projected career, and personal/professional life at Temple University. Students work collaboratively with our academic advising team to develop individual plans for academic success, interpret university policy, fully utilize campus resources, and engage in the process of reflection and decision making that will promote their achievement. 

We have three advising teams dedicated to working with students at each academic level. Freshman/Sophomore Advising focuses on the transition to college life, major exploration within Fox, successful completion of the lower-division foundation requirements, and retention. Junior/Senior Advising focuses on ensuring students are making satisfactory progress in their major, have completed their graduation audit prior to their final semester, and are prepared to graduate. Junior and senior students are assigned an advisor based on their declared major. Online Advising, for students intending to complete a majority of their Bachelor of Business Administration degree online, prioritizes flexible scheduling, with the same high-quality focus on developmental support and comprehensive academic planning as the on-campus services. The following majors can be completed online: Accounting, Business Management, Human Resource Management, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management.

As active participants in the advising process, students bear the ultimate responsibility for making educational and career decisions. Therefore, we rely on students to be prepared with questions, to research options before they come to their meeting, and to refer to their advising notes both before and after advising meetings. Students are expected to know University Policies and their program requirements as defined in their Bulletin and on their DARS report.

Advisors, in turn, strive to provide knowledgeable assistance to ensure students' accurate understanding of University and School policies, utilization of campus resources, interpretation of curriculum requirements, and timely completion of degree requirements. Students in Fox have several ways to meet with an academic advisor, including Scheduled Appointments for academic planning, Daily Walk-in Advising for quick questions, and Virtual Advising.

Peer Advising

The Center for Undergraduate Advising is pleased to provide peer advising on Main Campus, comprised of undergraduate peer advisors recruited from among the best and brightest in the Fox School of Business and Management.

Office of the Ombudsperson

The Fox School of Business and Management Ombudsperson assists students in Fox to resolve problems and conflicts that might arise from the classroom, acting as mediator between faculty and students while promoting alternatives to more formal processes. The ombudsperson supports effective communication, cooperation, equity, and civility in all academic and scholastic settings. Students who believe they have been treated unfairly in an academic matter should first meet with the appropriate ombudsperson.
