-ADDENDUM-
DUAL ADMISSIONS AGREEMENT between
DELAWARE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE and
TEMPLE UNIVERSITY Of The Commonwealth System of Higher Education
(Effective Fall 2016)
This addendum concerns the Dual Admissions agreement between Delaware County Community College (DCCC) and Temple University (Temple) signed March 16, 1998.
Earlier versions of this agreement include the following statement regarding eligibility criteria for the Dual Admissions program: "If you are newly admitted to an associate's degree program or have earned 30 or fewer college-level credits." Beginning fall 2016, language has been added to clarify eligibility requirements for student applying to the Dual Admissions program. Students must intend to complete an associate's degree at their institution and must complete the Intent to Enroll form before completing 30 graded college credits. This includes any prior credits completed at other colleges or universities. The statement regarding eligibility now reads:
If you are newly admitted to an associate degree program or have completed 30 or fewer graded college-level credits (including any credits completed at previous institutions) you are eligible to complete an INTENT TO ENROLL form available in the Transfer Office.
Additionally, information was added to the agreement regarding Temple's admissions process for Dual Admissions students. The electronic admissions application for transfer students now asks students to confirm that they have previously been approved for admission through the Dual Admissions program. Students who select this option will have their application fee waived. Step 3 on page 2 now states:
In the semester before you are planning to begin attending Temple University, you must complete Temple's online application. There will be an option in the online application for you to indicate that you are a Dual Admissions students; this will waive the application fee. The deadline for the Fall admission is June 1st and for the Spring admission the deadline is November 1st. Note that special programs may have separate deadlines for admission.
Revised information handouts to prospective Dual Admissions applicants are now available on the Undergraduate Studies webpage (http://www.temple.edu/vpus/transfer/agreements/dccc.html). It is important that this agreement is kept up-to-date. To this end, if changes occur at Delaware County Community College that would affect this agreement, please inform Undergraduate Studies, so the documents can be amended.
