PDF of all Fall Courses (On-Campus and Online)

All RAQA online courses use Zoom, which is provided for free to all registered Temple students.

Required hardware
RAQA online courses are interactive. Your computer or laptop must have a webcam and microphone. Many laptops have built-in webcams and speakers. If your laptop does not, you will be required to purchase them. 

If you are a new student or are using Zoom for the first time, watch the online course tutorial. A password is given at the end which you must include on the registration form. 

After watching the tutorial, schedule an online meeting with David Brickett (dbrick@temple.edu) or Mike Doukas (mdoukas@temple.edu) to review how Zoom works, so you'll be ready for your first online class meeting.

RPNow is an online proctoring service, which enables you to take exams at almost any location. RPNow charges $15.00 per exam, which you must pay with a credit card when the exam starts. (You must also pay that fee if you use RPNow in a Temple computer lab.) If a course uses RPNow, all students in the class must use that service. 

RPNow exams require a laptop or computer. Chrome notebooks, iPads, cell phones and other devices will not work. You must also have administrative access to your laptop or computer, which means you can install software. (Many office computers have built-in firewalls that will not allow software downloads.) Please check this before registering.

Use Chrome or Firefox for your Browser.


Check class dates carefully. You are expected to take proctored exams on the scheduled date. If you do not, you will be charged $25.00 for an initial makeup exam; $50 for the second missed exam, and $100 per exam thereafter. For more on this policy, click here.
