After You Apply

Applicant Portal

Soon after you submit your Common Application, you will receive an email about setting up your Undergraduate Applicant Portal, where you can track the status of your application and submit any requirements to complete your application. The undergraduate applicant portal is also where you can make any necessary changes to your account and connect directly with us. 

Examples of options students have access to change in their applicant portal include requesting a change of their application type, semester, major, campus, or uploading documents if needed. 

Sending Your Transcripts

We need transcripts from all institutions you may have attended (or are currently attending), and your final high school transcript if you have less than 30 college credits completed. Do not send us your transcripts until after activating your applicant portal to ensure proper completion of your application. 

Please have your transcripts sent to us electronically directly from the school’s transcript service. Select Temple University Admissions as the recipient. Please do not send us a transcript via email or prior to submitting an application. These will be discarded.

Self Reported Academic Record 

First year applicants are highly encouraged to complete the Self Reported Academic Record (SRAR) to expedite the review of their application. The SRAR is the best tool for us to evaluate your high school courses and grades. After you've applied and set up your applicant portal, you can link directly to the SRAR. 

Admitted Students 

Congratulations! We’re so excited for you, and we’re here to help you take the next steps toward choosing Temple. 

You’ll find the information you need to secure your place at Temple, including accepting your offer of admission by submitting your non-refundable enrollment deposit. Make sure to read through your next steps as a first-year, transfer or international student. 

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. 

Admitted students will not be approved to defer their enrollment to attend another college or university or apply to another college or university while holding their space at Temple University.

Students interested in deferring need to complete the deferral form via the Applicant Portal and provide a final high school 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.
