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 to join Honors starting Fall 2025 is now closed. The application will reopen for students to apply to join starting Spring 2026 on Monday, August 26. Applications will be due by Monday, December 8.
