Checking Class Schedules At Temple University

Students at Temple University can register for classes and view their schedules through the TUportal. To access this, students must sign in and input their registration PIN, which they will be notified of via email. From there, students can access the Register for classes add/drop section on the Student Tools tab to view their schedule. While it is unclear whether students can view the schedules of their peers, it is possible to view all undergraduate, graduate, and professional courses offered at Temple during the semester through the Course Catalog.

Using the TUportal

TUportal is a single sign-on gateway that allows users to access Temple University's major systems and manage their university information. It serves as the main hub for students, faculty, and staff to stay informed and manage their personal information.

To access TUportal, you need to create an AccessNet account. If you have already applied and paid the application fee but have not received an email with a link to create your TUportal account, you can visit the Obtaining an AccessNet Account page for more information. Once you have your AccessNet account set up, you can use your AccessNet username and password to log in to TUportal by going to tuportal.temple.edu on your web browser.

After logging in to TUportal, you will have access to various resources, including TUmail, Library Resources, Microsoft 365, Adobe Creative Suite, and the Canvas Learning Management System. To access Canvas, look for the link in the TUapplications channel in the left-most column of the TUportal.

Within TUportal, you can perform several tasks, such as registering for classes, accepting offers of admission, submitting deposits, and managing your personal information. To register for classes, click on the Student Tab, then navigate to the Registration channel and select "Plan Your Schedule." This self-service method allows eligible continuing undergraduate and graduate students to plan their schedules conveniently. Additionally, you can use TUportal to accept offers of admission, secure your spot at Temple University, and make your enrollment deposits.

Register for classes

To register for classes at Temple University, students must use an online system called Self Service Banner, which can be accessed through TUPortal. Students are given information and instruction on the registration process before the registration period for each semester. The Office of Academic Affairs, Barrack Hall Suite 103F, oversees the registration process during the last few weeks of each semester.

Before registering for classes, students and advisors typically review options and requirements, select courses, and complete and sign a registration form if necessary. Students can find detailed course information, including the day, time, location, and instructor, on the Class Schedule. It is important to note that registration for courses is mandatory, and students must not attend classes for which they are not registered. Once a student registers for a course, they are financially obligated unless they drop the course by the prescribed deadline.

Continuing (or priority) student registration is the period when all currently enrolled, degree-seeking students may register. Each semester, currently enrolled students receive an email with the registration schedule, which is also available on the Office of the University Registrar website under "Course Registration." Eligibility for priority registration is generally based on the number of earned credit hours. However, active-duty US servicemembers and veterans are eligible for priority registration regardless of their earned credits.

Students can revise their schedules at any time before the add/drop deadlines. If students cannot register online but wish to make changes to their course schedules, they must seek assistance from their academic advisor. Adding a course after it has started may require approval from the instructor. Students can also choose to be placed on a waitlist for closed sections of select courses on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additionally, specific programs at Temple University, such as the School of Pharmacy, may have their own registration processes and requirements. For example, the School of Pharmacy offers online certificate programs and Master of Science degrees with specific eligibility criteria.

Dropping classes

To drop a class at Temple University, a student must do so during the "drop and add period" to avoid a financial penalty or notation on their transcript. This can be done via the self-service method or with the assistance of an advisor. Deadlines vary by course and term duration and are posted on the academic calendar by the Office of the University Registrar.

To drop a course, students must sign in to TUportal and click on the My Courses tab. From there, they select the Term, click on the course, and then click on the Details icon to view the course information. The drop and withdrawal deadlines will appear in the registration card.

It's important to note that dropping a course may result in a change in the semester bill if the student drops below full-time status. Financial aid may also be impacted. Students should consult their advisor or Student Financial Services for specific considerations.

Additionally, students seeking to drop a course should be aware of the requirements for discontinued enrollment, participation, and attendance. They must not have taken any final exams or submitted any assignments during the final exam period, nor should they have passing grades (D- or higher) or incomplete grade notations for the term. International students should also be aware that withdrawing from a course may impact their visa status.

Student account balances

To check your student account balance at Temple University, you can access your Student Account Statement online. Here is a step-by-step guide:

• Log in to your student account on the Temple University portal.
• Navigate to the "Student Account Statement" section.
• Select "Charges and Payments" from the menu.
• Click "Submit" to view your account statement.

Your account statement will provide you with information about your current balance, including tuition and fees, housing and meal plans (if applicable), and financial aid. Official tuition rates for the fall semester are typically released in mid-July, and your account statement will be updated accordingly.

It is important to note that account balances are only issued for terms in which you are registered for at least one credit. Additionally, ensure you pay your total account balance by the final due date to avoid late payment fees and financial holds on your record, which may restrict certain university services.

Students can stay organized and on top of registration periods, add/drop deadlines, exam schedules, and University breaks. This tool helps students plan their academic commitments and personal schedules effectively.

Grade Book

The Grade Book feature offers students real-time access to their academic performance. They can view their grades for individual assignments, quizzes, and exams, as well as monitor their overall course grades. This tool helps students stay informed about their progress and quickly identify areas where they may need to seek additional support or guidance.

Online Collaboration Tools

Temple University also provides students with access to online collaboration platforms, such as shared document editors and project management software. These tools enable students to work effectively on group projects, even when they can't meet in person. Students can collaborate in real-time, assign tasks, track changes, and consolidate their ideas using these digital collaboration spaces.
