Sending Your Transcripts Self Reported Academic Record Admitted Students Request to Defer

High School Transcript

If you are applying as a first-year student, have your high school counselor send us your official transcript through their electronic transcript service.
If you have already graduated high school, please contact your high school counselor and have them send us your transcript through their electronic transcript service.

College Transcripts

The best option is to have official transcripts sent to us electronically from each institution you have attended. Official transcripts are sent directly from your school’s transcript service directly to us. You would not send it from your personal email account. From your institution’s website, simply select Temple University from the drop-down menu (if available).

If your school requires that the transcript be sent via email, please use the following address.
Email: ugapp@temple.edu

If your school is unable to send electronic transcripts please request the official transcript be mailed to the following address.

If you decide to attend another college or university, please contact us to withdraw your intent to enroll at Temple.

Submit your housing deposit of $250 & Request Housing

If you’re interested in living on campus, you can submit your housing deposit at the same time you submit your enrollment deposit on the Applicant Portal, which is recommended. When you submit both deposits together, you’ll have access to the Housing Selection Process sooner.

Once you submit your enrollment and housing deposits, you can select your own housing and meal plan through our online selection process, which is available in MyHousing via the Applicant Portal. Housing selection will start in mid-May, but you can explore residence hall options at any time.

Request to Defer

If you’re an admitted first-year student and you’ve already made your deposit, you may be able to defer your admission for up to one year. First-year students may defer admission to complete religious, volunteer or military service or for unplanned medical circumstances.

Students interested in deferral must complete our brief deferred enrollment request form via the Applicant Portal and provide a final high school or college transcript. Please note that admitted transfer students are not eligible to request a deferral. If you are a transfer student who can not attend for the semester in which you have been admitted, you will need to re-apply for admission for a future semester.
