Advising
Advisors, Enrollment Coordinators, and Student Success Coaches are available on campus to assist you in a variety of areas. Academic Advisors help with academic advising, Texas Success Initiative requirements, testing, transfer information, crisis intervention and referral, career guidance, testing referrals, stress and worry reduction, decision-making skills, clarifying educational and personal goals, and other problems or concerns that interfere with the attainment of academic, technical, professional or personal goals. Services are free and confidential for students at TC.
To see someone about advisement, no appointment is necessary but recommended. You may come to the Advising Center in One College Center, and an Academic Success Coach will assist you.
Student Success Coaches
Student Success Coaches, located in One College Center on the Temple campus, play an integral role in academic advising and degree pathway planning as well as support and encouragement facilitating career placement and transfer. All registrations, to include adding or dropping courses, are conducted with Student Success Coaches.
Attendance (POLICY)
Students are subject to being dropped from their courses due to a lack of regular attendance. Some classes at Temple College have regularly scheduled/assigned meeting times while others are taught in a distance education format via the internet. For classes that have regularly scheduled/assigned meeting times, regular attendance implies that you are expected to be physically present in the classroom during regularly scheduled/assigned times, regardless of the method by which the assigned work for the class is completed. A lack of regular attendance is defined in the following two ways:
At the beginning of each term, a lack of attendance includes:
- 16-week terms – no attendance by the 5th day of the class.
- 10-week terms – no attendance by the 4th day of the class.
- 8-week terms – no attendance by the 2nd day of the class.
- 5-week terms – no attendance by the 2nd day of the class.
- Internet/Hybrid courses – Failure to access your course in the content management system. Temple College’s content management system is D2L and/or the course software as prescribed by the instructor prior to the class day specified above based on the length of the term for the course in which the student is enrolled.
- Requires attendance during the first week of the term.
- If your class does not meet every day, you must attend the first class to satisfy the initial attendance requirement.
Students unable to attend class during the specified times listed above must contact their instructor via e-mail prior to the start of classes for that term to avoid being dropped for non-attendance.
Once initial attendance at the beginning of the term has been satisfied:
Regular and punctual class attendance is expected at Temple College. A lack of regular attendance is defined as missing the equivalent of two weeks of instruction in a 16-week semester (the equivalent amount of time may be fewer class periods in shorter terms). Attendance includes the completion of assignments by the instructor’s posted deadlines. Failure to adhere to the attendance/participation policy may result in being dropped from the course, which may impact your full-time status and potentially, your financial aid.
Faculty members will maintain an official record of attendance for each course primarily for the purpose of remaining in compliance with federal financial aid regulations. Attendance requirements for some programs may be more stringent than the general policy discussed above as required by program specific accreditation agencies and/or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).
Students representing the College in sponsored activities related to credit courses or intercollegiate athletics will not be counted absent or penalized for work missed during their absences; however, they are expected to communicate their absence to their instructors – in advance – and make arrangements for class work that may be missed or due upon return to campus. Faculty/staff sponsoring college related activities will be responsible for notifying the faculty and the Provost/Vice President, Academic Affairs and Student Services of planned absences (including a list of participating students and the dates that they will be absent) one instructional week prior to the event. This policy also applies to high school students taking dual credit courses who must attend ISD-scheduled activities. Students who expect to be absent because of religious holy days should contact the Provost/Vice President, Academic Affairs and Student Services for details concerning Texas Education Code 51.911.
Students who do not show up or complete final exams may be issued a grade of “F” for the course.
Reinstatement (Students are expected to attend and participate; however, attendance/participation policy is suspended for 2024-2025.)
Adhering to the Temple College attendance/participation policy is mandatory. You can be dropped from courses for excessive absences. You should communicate with your instructors each time you are absent from class. Reinstatement to classes at Temple College is initiated only for the purposes of correcting an institutional error. Students who (1) are dropped by faculty for non-attendance, or (2) initiate a drop on their own are not eligible for reinstatement.

The Testing Center is located in the Barron Student Success Center, Room 3613. Phone is 254-298-8586. Many of the tests require the payment of a testing fee.
