Individual Approval: Applicants over 18 years of age may be admitted to Temple College without a GED examination. Students must provide evidence that they can successfully complete college work. Applicants for individual approval must take an assessment test regardless of their major. Transfer Student: Degree/Certificate Seeking A student who is eligible to re-enter the college that they last attended is eligible for admission to Temple College by transfer of credits. The student is required as part of the admission process to submit official transcripts from all other institutions attended. Transcripts must bear the college seal, date and appropriate signature and must be in a closed, sealed envelope to be considered official. Transcripts should be mailed directly to the Admissions and Records office from the other institution(s). In some cases, Temple College will accept a hand-delivered transcript as long as the transcript is submitted in a closed, sealed envelope from the other institution. Transcripts that are not in a closed and sealed envelope will not be acceptable and will not be considered official. Beginning in 2000, electronic transcripts submitted using the SPEEDE format will be accepted as official transcripts when Temple College is fully operational on this program. Students on academic probation at the transfer institution will be admitted on probation to Temple College and must earn a grade point average of 2.0 during their first semester in attendance at TC. If the student is on suspension from the transfer institution, TC will honor that suspension. Applicants may petition the Dean of Student Services for an exception to this policy. Credit for courses passed (grade of D or better) may be transferred only from regionally accredited colleges or universities. No credit will be allowed from U.S. institutions not so accredited. Students with proficiencies gained in nonaccredited institutions should see the section of this catalog on credit by examination. Course work from institutions outside the U.S. will be considered on a case by case basis and these students will be required to furnish an evaluation of their courses by the Credentials Evaluation Service, P.O. Box 66940, Los Angeles, California 90066 or Educational Credentials Evaluators, Inc., P.O. Box 929700970, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 or Foreign Credentials Service of America, 1910 Justin Lane, Austin, TX 78757-4565. Students seeking exemption from the Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) test based on college credit earned prior to Fall 1989, must submit an official transcript prior to registration. If student cannot provide proof of exemption, the student will be required to take the TASP test prior to enrolling and meet all TASP requirements. Students who are transferring from private or out-of-state institutions should submit official transcripts to the Director of Admissions and Records prior to registration for evaluation. Students who have earned college credit with a grade of “B” or better in courses equivalent to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board TASP requirement courses will be considered as having met their TASP requirements. If the student does not meet TASP requirements in all three areas, the student will be required to take the TASP test in the area(s) of deficiency prior to enrolling. All degree-seeking students will be required to meet TASP provisions. Please contact the Director of Admissions and Records for more information. Courses transferred to Temple College will be evaluated during the student’s first semester in residence. Final admission to Temple College will not be granted until all official transcripts are on file in the Admissions and Records Office. Transfer Student: Non-Degree/Non-Certificate Seeking To be admitted under non-degree/non-certificate status, an applicant must complete these requirements: 1. Complete an application for admission to TC, showing method of entry as a non-degree/non-certificate seeking student. 2. Provide TC with an official transcript from the last college or university attended. If student is seeking exemption from the Texas Academic Skills Program test based on college credit earned prior to Fall 1989, an official transcript must be on file prior to registration. If a student feels that he/she may have met TASP requirements with previous college credit, an official college transcript should be submitted to the Director of Admissions and Records for evaluation prior to registration. If the student does not meet TASP requirements in all three areas, the student will be required to take the TASP test in the area(s) of deficiency prior to enrolling. After the TASP test has been taken, the student has met the minimum requirements as a “casual” student under the Texas Academic Skills program. A “casual” student is a student who is not seeking a degree. Developmental education may be delayed for the time period that the student remains in the “casual” student status (a student who is not seeking a degree). 3. Should a student who is originally admitted as a non-degree/noncertificate seeking student decide to pursue a degree at Temple College, the student must, at that time complete the admission procedures outlined for degree-seeking transfer students and must abide by all requirements under the Texas Academic Skills Program. Readmission: A student who has not attended Temple College within the last 12 months must apply for re-admission through the Admissions and Records Office.

A student will not be allowed to register without proper documentation on file. TRANSCRIPTS Transcripts must bear the college seal, date, and appropriate signature, and must be in a closed, sealed envelope to be considered official. Transcripts should be mailed directly to the Admissions and Records Office from the other institution(s). In some cases, Temple College will accept a hand-delivered transcript as long as the transcript is submitted in a closed, sealed envelope from the other institution. Transcripts that are not in a closed and sealed envelope will not be acceptable and will not be considered official. Beginning in 2000, electronic transcripts submitted using the SPEEDE format will be accepted as official transcripts when Temple College is fully operational on this program. Students are responsible for submitting the required transcripts to the Admissions and Records Office. Transcripts become the property of Temple College and cannot be returned to the student. Temple College will only release copies of Temple College records to students. Students who need copies of another institution’s transcript should contact that institution directly. Transcripts are kept on file for one year and will be destroyed if the student has not enrolled. CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT Section 54.062 of the Texas Education Code permits an adjustment in the minimum tuition charge when a student is concurrently registered at more than one public institution of higher education. The student shall pay the full tuition charge to the first institution at which he/she is registered. If the minimum tuition at the first institution is equal to or greater than the minimum tuition for the second public institution at which the student is registered concurrently, the student shall not be required to pay the specified minimum tuition charge to the second institution, but shall pay only the hourly rates to the second institution. The student shall first register at the institution having the lower minimum tuition and shall pay to the second institution only the amount equal to the difference between his/her total tuition charge at the second institution and his/her total tuition charge at the first institution, but in no case shall the student pay to the second institution less than the hourly rates. To qualify for the reduced minimum charge with Temple College as the second institution, the student must present a class schedule and official tuition and fee receipt for that semester to the Office of Admissions and Records prior to registration. COURSE NUMBERS Temple College is a participating institution in the Texas Common Course Numbering System. Courses designed for transfer have a standardized four-letter prefix followed by a fourdigit number. The four-letter prefix identifies the subject area. For example, ENGL is the common prefix for English courses, while DRAM is the common prefix for drama/theatre courses. The four-digit number following the prefix identifies specific courses within the subject area. Each digit in the four-digit sequence gives additional information about the course. The first digit identifies the course as either freshman level (1) or sophomore level (2). The second digit identifies the number of credit hours students earn upon successfully completing the course. Most often this digit will be a 1, 2, 3, or 4. The final two digits serve to establish the sequence in which courses are generally taken. Thus, General Chemistry I-CHEM 1411 is taken before General Chemistry II CHEM 1412. Developmental courses not designed for college credit or transfer have a 0 (zero) as the first digit. Courses that have TE as the last two letters of the prefix are designed to be a part of a terminal program and may not be, and are not designed to be, transferable. Beginning in Fall 1998, the Workforce Education Course Manual has revised course prefixes. Therefore, not all terminal courses have the TE at the end of the prefix. Most courses that are included in a certificate or an Associate of Applied Science degree are terminal courses and are not intended as transfer courses. The student should consult with the intended transfer institution to determine the transferability of technical courses. Course equivalency guides are available in the Counseling Center. In the TC Catalog, additional information is provided after the course title. The first number after the course title signifies the number of semester hours, the second number indicates the number of lecture hours per week, and the third number indicates the number of laboratory hours per week. INFORMATION WHICH MAY CHANGE This schedule contains policies, regulations, and procedures in effect at the time this publication was printed. The College reserves the right to make changes at any time to reflect current Board policies, administrative regulations and procedures, and applicable state and federal regulations. This schedule is for informational purposes and does not constitute a contract. REGISTRATION APPOINTMENTS The Advising Center in One College Centre is making appointments for registration beginning April 2, 2001 for Summer 2001 and on July 2, 2001 for Fall 2001. QUESTIONS? ADMISSIONS & RECORDS (254) 298-8300 ADVISING CENTER (254) 298-8331 TESTING CENTER (254) 298-8586 FINANCIAL AID (254) 298-8321 Outside Temple area call 1-800-460-4636 RESIDENCY Each student must show proof of both Texas and College District residency in order to pay resident and in-district tuition and fees. H.B. 1147 requires all students to complete an Oath of Residency and complete a Residency Questionnaire developed by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board at the time of registration. If, as the answers to the questions are reviewed by college officials, there remains questions as to the student’s proper residency classification, the student must provide a copy of one or more appropriately dated documents which will establish Texas or in-district residency. The student is responsible for enrolling under the proper resident classification and for providing documentation as required by the institution. If there is any question about classification as a resident of Texas, the student must seek clarification from the Director of Admissions and Records prior to enrollment. Students classified as nonresidents or out-of-district upon first enrollment at Temple College are presumed to be nonresidents or out-of-district for the period during which they continue as students. If nonresident students withdraw from school and reside in the state while gainfully employed for a period of 12 months, upon reentry to Temple College they may petition for reclassification as residents for tuition purposes. Students who desire to be reclassified as in-district must meet the requirements for state residency and have resided in and been gainfully employed in the Temple College District for 6 months. Individuals moving to the state of Texas strictly for educational purposes are not eligible for state or in-district residency classification. DETERMINING STATE RESIDENCY The rules for determining state residency are: 1. Individuals 18 years of age or over who lived in Texas 12 months before enrolling are entitled to classification as a resident. 2. For dependents over 18, residency is determined by the parent who claims the student for federal income tax purposes both at the time of enrollment and for the tax year preceding enrollment. 3. Persons classified as nonresident students upon first enrollment are presumed to be nonresident for the period during which they continue as students. 4. Students enrolling before having resided in the state for 12 months immediately preceding time of enrollment are classified as nonresidents for tuition purposes. Students can provide evidence of Texas residency by providing one of the following documents: 1. A transcript showing graduation from a Texas high school within the 12 months before enrollment. 2. A permanent Texas driver's license issued 12 months prior to the time of enrollment. 3. A W-2 form or pay statement showing employment in Texas 12 months preceding enrollment. 4. Purchase of a homestead 12 months before time of enrollment. 5. A receipt showing payment of property tax within the Temple College District. 6. Voter's registration card issued 12 months prior to time of enrollment. TEMPLE COLLEGE DISTRICT The Temple College District is coterminous with the city limits of Temple and the Temple Independent School District. Once students have met the state residency requirements, they can verify their in-district residency by presenting one or more of the following types of documentation. This documentation must show an in-district address for the 6 months immediately prior to enrollment: 1. A permanent Texas driver's license with current address. 2. A lease agreement which includes the student's name. 3. A utility bill. 4. A voter's registration card. 5. A payroll check stub. 6. A property tax statement showing payment of Temple College District taxes. MILITARY PERSONNEL & DEPENDENTS Persons in military service are presumed to maintain during their entire period of active service the same legal residence which was in effect at the time of entering the service. Education Code 54.058(b) provides that military personnel assigned to duty within the State of Texas, their spouse and their dependent children, shall be entitled to pay the same tuition as a resident of Texas regardless of the length of their physical presence in the state. To be entitled to pay resident tuition, such military personnel shall submit at the time of each enrollment a statement from their commanding officer or personnel officer certifying that they are then assigned duty in Texas and that the same will be in effect at the time of such enrollment ADVISING, TESTING, AND FINANCIAL AID REQUIRED ACADEMIC ADVISING DURING REGISTRATION All students with the exception of “casual” students must be advised at registration. Students may be advised by academic advisors in the Advising Center in One College Centre, the Special Support Services Office in the Administration Building, or in the technical departments. “Casual” students are defined as students who are taking courses for personal enrichment or job skills. Degree-seeking, certificate-seeking, and transfer students must see an advisor. TO SCHEDULE CLASSES, FOLLOW THESE STEPS 1.Complete the Admissions Procedures at the Admissions and Records Office. 2.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are: (1) The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day Temple College receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Director of Admissions and Records, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the college official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. (2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights. Students may ask Temple College to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the College official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want to change, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If Temple College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. (3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position; a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, collection agent or National Student Loan Clearinghouse); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. HOW TO READ THE COURSE SCHEDULE DEPT – Identifies the department offering the course Upon request, Temple College discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
