In-person restrictions

Academic departments are closed to walk-in visitors, and elevators and stairways are restricted as much as possible to reduce the density on campus. Virtual interactions continue to be the fastest and safest way to interact with our administrative and advising teams at the Fox School. We are available via phone, email and Zoom during normal office hours, Monday through Friday. In-person interactions are discouraged unless absolutely necessary.

Fox/STHM Student Hub: In-person assistance

• Alter Hall, Room 131
• Monday, Aug. 24 through Friday, Sept. 4
• Monday - Thursday
• 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

A rotation of academic department staff will be staffing the hub on campus. However, you are encouraged to contact your department administrator(s) virtually, whenever possible.

Request permission to add a course

If you need to request permission to be added to a course after wait-lists drop, all requests should be directed to Fox Advising. Advisors will evaluate DARS records to determine student eligibility for special permission and work virtually with academic departments to address student registration requests during the drop-add period. Instructors cannot give students permission to add closed courses during Week 1. During Week 2, students may request instructor permission to be enrolled via email. Contact information can be found at directory.temple.edu.
