Transfer Agreements
To better encourage and facilitate the transfer of Community College of Philadelphia students to Temple University, Temple and the Community College of Philadelphia have established the following transfer agreements:
Dual Admissions
The Dual Admissions agreement between Temple and the Community College of Philadelphia conditionally admits students to Temple at the same time they are admitted to the Community College of Philadelphia, and provides the opportunity for merit scholarships to Temple for eligible students. Interested students must enroll in the Dual Admissions program before completing 30 credits, including credits from any colleges previously attended. Students are then admitted to Temple upon attaining their associate's degrees at the community college. Click here for more details about Dual Admissions with the Community College of Philadelphia.
GenEd-to-GenEd and Core-to-Core Transfer Agreements
GenEd-to-GenEd and Core-to-Core Transfer agreements accept -- upon Temple evaluation and approval -- the general education requirements of approved associate degrees in lieu of Temple's Core or GenEd requirements. Students entering Temple with an approved Associate degree are identified upon admission to or enrollment in the University and their fulfillment of the General Education by a GenEd Transfer Agreement is noted on pertinent student records.
