Undergraduate Programs

Academic Policies and 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:

Graduation Requirements

The Fly in 4 program includes a graduation review checkpoint to be met prior to the start of senior year. To fulfill this requirement, an advisor will prepare a graduation review for all Fox students who are active in Fly in 4 before they begin their senior year. Students who are not active on Fly in 4 may request a graduation review prior to their last term. In addition, the University requires students submit an application for graduation using the University online graduation application in TUportal at the start of their last term in their academic program. Additional graduation information is available from the Office of the University Registrar.

Transfer Credits

The Fox School of Business and Management may accept transfer courses as direct equivalents, elective credits, or courses requiring further evaluation. Courses that do not transfer as direct equivalents may be re-evaluated on a course-by-course basis following an academic review by the college. Students are encouraged to consult Temple University's Transfer Equivalency Tool for the most current information regarding how specific courses are evaluated. In addition, existing transfer agreements may permit waivers or the use of alternative courses to satisfy degree requirements.

Courses completed more than five years prior to transfer will be reviewed by the college to determine whether the course content remains current and applicable to the student's degree program.

While a student may transfer a substantial number of credits that are accepted by the university, it should be noted that transfer credits may exceed the maximum number of elective credits permitted to apply toward the degree.

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. For more information, refer to Permission to Complete a Course at another Institution after Matriculation.

Courses Inapplicable to Graduation Requirements

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

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), all Mathematics courses, and all Foreign Language courses. For example, after passing SPAN 1002, a student will not receive credits for SPAN 1001.

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 credits required to graduate.

Credit for Life Experience

The Fox School of Business and Management does not grant academic credit for life experience. Information on earning credit through standardized exams such as AP or CLEP is available under Credit for Prior Learning in the Academic Policies section of this Bulletin.

Co-Requisites and Prerequisites

Students may be de-enrolled from courses for which they do not meet established prerequisites and co-requisites. Students are responsible for reviewing and complying with all course requirements as listed in the Course Catalog. Prerequisites and co-requisites are designed to ensure students are adequately prepared and positioned for success in subsequent coursework. Additional information is available in Prerequisites and Co-requisites policy.

Academic Overload Requests

Students enrolled in the Fox School of Business and Management must submit a petition through an academic advisor to obtain approval to enroll in more than 18 credits during the fall or spring semesters or more than 8 credits during either summer session. Enrollment in more than 18 credits in the fall or spring semesters carry additional tuition charges.

All overload petitions are reviewed on an individual basis, and approval is granted at the discretion of the college. In evaluating overload requests, the college may consider factors including, but not limited to, the student's cumulative grade point average, the number of credits attempted and successfully completed in prior semesters, the total number of additional credits requested, and the student's anticipated graduation date.

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 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.

Dean's List

During each fall and spring semester, undergraduate students who meet their school or college's academic performance and credit-hour criteria are named to the Dean's List. Refer to the Dean's List policy for specific GPA and enrollment requirements.

Dismissal from Fox

In accordance with Temple University's course repeat policy, students who fail to complete a College Graduation Requirement within three attempts will be required to change to a program outside the Fox School of Business and Management.

Change of Program

Non-business students in their first semester at Temple or continuing students with 2.0 minimum cumulative GPA are eligible to request to change to a major in Fox. Information about the Fox Change of Program process is available on the Fox Advising web site.

Non-business students with a cumulative GPA below 2.0 are not eligible to change to Fox. Instead students can change to Division of University Studies until they earn the 2.0 minimum cumulative GPA. While enrolled there, students may take selected lower-division business requirements.

Grievance Procedures

The Fox School of Business and Management Ombudsperson assists students in resolving academic concerns and conflicts that might arise from the classroom, acting as mediator between faculty and students while promoting alternatives to more formal processes. Students who believe they have been treated unfairly in an academic matter should first consult the appropriate ombudsperson.

The Fox School of Business and Management Ombudsperson assists students in resolving academic concerns and conflicts, serving as a neutral mediator between students and faculty while encouraging informal resolution when appropriate.

For more information, refer to grievance procedures or contact the Center for Undergraduate Advising at foxombud@temple.edu or 215-204-7672 for further information.

Non-Degree Seeking Student Policy

Students not formally admitted to Temple University may enroll in Fox undergraduate courses numbered under 3000. Undergraduate courses numbered 3000 and above are open to visiting students who have completed at least 60 credits, have met all course prerequisites, and obtain written permission from their home institution. Students holding a baccalaureate degree who meet course prerequisites may also enroll in advanced undergraduate courses.

College Graduation Requirements

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

All Fox students must complete a minimum of two writing-intensive courses at Temple–BA 2196 and a writing-intensive course in the major. A minimum grade of C- is required in both writing-intensive requirements.

Professional Development Requirement: Fox Forward

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 Fox Forward. Hosted by the Suitable web site, the Fox Forward program 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 NACE-endorsed competencies: Critical Thinking, Communication & Teamwork, Equity & Inclusion, Civic Engagement & Leadership, Career & Self-Development.

The Fox School of Business and Management will expect all undergraduate students to earn 250 Forward 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. These demonstrated skills will also be viewable through the Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR).

Academic Advising

Center for Undergraduate Advising

Speakman Hall, Room 101

The Center for Undergraduate Advising provides in-person advising at Main Campus and virtually for all Ambler, Main, and Online Campus students.

The Main Campus office is generally open every weekday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

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.

Fox Advising is 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, Finance, 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 on-campus or online for academic planning and daily Same-Day Advising for urgent matters.

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. Fox peer advisors provide the perspective of an upper-class student and are trained to assist business students to be successful by sharing their knowledge and personal strategies for academic success.
