By submitting a deposit to Temple, you are committing to attending Temple. You should not be holding a space at more than one college or university. Doing so is unfair to those who are seeking to secure their place at Temple and in our residence halls. If you decide to attend another college or university, please contact us to withdraw your intent to enroll at Temple.

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

If you are a U.S. citizen or eligible nonresident, make sure you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by Temple’s priority deadline, Feb. 1.

On-campus housing is guaranteed if you commit to Temple by May 1. 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 TUportal. Housing selection will start on April 1, but you can explore residence hall options at any time.

COVID-19 Update

Due to the recent announcements about exam cancellations and the modified assessment and calculation of results for multiple international qualifications (e.g., IBO, A levels, French Bac and AP) because of the impact of COVID-19, Temple will continue to accept these results and the adjusted methods of assessment as determined by the examining body/ministry of education without any negative impact on offers of admission or scholarship.

For those of you who were anticipating advanced credit due to completion of IB, A Level, AP or CLEP courses/subjects, our awarding policy will not change and we will recognize successful completion as determined by the examining body. Learn more about the advanced credit policy here.
