I do not meet the Graduate School’s academic criteria. Would I still be able to take classes as a non- matriculated (non-degree) student?
Yes, you may take graduate classes as a non-matriculated student. You need to speak with Linda Palmarozza at 267-468-8181 or mlarch@temple.edu. She will provide you with the correct forms and guidance on this matter. As a non-matriculated student, you will be allowed to take up to 9 semester hours of graduate coursework that could be transferred into the M.L.Arch. Program. If you complete 9 s.h. as a non-matriculated student with at least a 3.25 cumulative GPA, you may be considered for a waiver of GRE scores. In order for the department to consider waiving GRE scores and admitting you as a degree student, you must apply officially. If you decide to take one or two courses as a non-matriculated student and then apply, you still would need to submit the application materials and valid GRE scores.
