Summer 2025 – Philadelphia Session
Temple Law School will offer a Summer Session (PDF) with in person JD courses, online JD synchronous courses, and online JD asynchronous courses (May 19 through July 3). We will also offer one online Graduate Tax synchronous courses (May 20 through the end of July). JD students may take one asynchronous course and they may take Graduate Tax courses with permission as described in this document. Exams for JD courses will be administered on the evenings of July 8-10. The exam for the Graduate Tax course will be administered at the end of July. The type and time of those exams will be announced once classes have begun. Students are expected to be available to take exams during this time frame. Also, JD students will be able to take one course offered online in an asynchronous format, which provides students with some flexibility in scheduling the times when they will view the pre-recorded lectures and complete the assignments.
Registration
JD and Grad Tax students will be administratively registered for Summer courses and may register for a maximum of six (6) credits and only one online asynchronous course is permitted. Interested students will complete the Summer 2025 Registration Request form.
