Apply to Honors as a current Temple student or transfer student

The Honors Program application is for transfer students applying to the university and current Temple students who would like to be considered for the Honors Program. 

We review applications on a semester basis and admissions decisions are made after final Temple grades are posted in either December or May. Please allow up to three weeks after that date for decisions. If accepted, you will attend an Honors orientation hosted by the program staff and they will work with you to add an Honors course of your choice.

Our admission decision will be equally determined by your cumulative GPA and by the quality of the essays you provide. Please submit well-constructed, personally insightful essays that demonstrate your writing prowess and share your passions in and out of the classroom.

This application is now open to apply to join Honors in Fall 2025. Applications are due by Monday, April 28, 2025, and no applications will be accepted after this date.
