Academic Policies and Regulations

Please see Academic Policies and Regulations. Students are responsible for complying with all University-wide academic policies that apply to their individual academic status. Additional and unique policies, or exceptions, for Ambler College appear below.

(Note: The University is reviewing all school and college major and GPA requirements above 2.0.  Please refer to the electronic Bulletin for up-to-date information.)

Dean's List

A student whose semester average is 3.5 or above is awarded the distinction of being placed on the Ambler College Dean's List. To be eligible, a full-time student must be matriculated, carry at least 12 credits of graded courses in that semester, and achieve a grade point average of 3.5. A part-time matriculated student must have completed the fall semester and following spring semester with a combined total of at least 12 semester hours of graded course work and achieved a combined two-semester grade point average of 3.5 or above. Students whose semester grades include one or more MG (Missing Grade), NR (Not Reported), or unresolved I (Incomplete) are excluded from consideration since grade changes may affect cumulative grade point averages.

Readmission

Ambler College students who have voluntarily withdrawn from the University and wish to return must file the appropriate form if they had one semester (fall or spring) or more of non-attendance. Forms can be obtained in the Office of Academic Services, West Hall, Lower Level 11. Before a readmission decision can be made, the student is requested indicate any course taken since leaving Temple and provide a copy of an official transcript from each institution attended. Both the academic advisor and the student have the right to request an interview as part of the procedure. Students who received a medical withdrawal may be asked to provide medical documentation clearing them to return to school and to schedule an interview with an advisor before a readmission decision can be made.

Students who were dismissed for academic reasons should see the University policy on “Academic Warning, Probation, Dismissal and Reinstatement.”

Second Degrees

Students who have earned a Bachelor's degree may earn a second bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture or Horticulture. Students who are interested in Community and Regional Planning (CRP) should consider enrolling in the CRP Master of Science degree program. Schools and colleges may waive up to nine credits of degree requirements outside the second major for students who already have a bachelor's degree. See Academic Policies and Regulations.
