College fairs can take place during the school day, in the evening during weekdays or on a weekend. These events can be hosted by one particular high school, an entire school district, a local college or university, a county intermediate unit, or any other education group or organization. College fairs tend to be held in gymnasiums, cafeterias, convention centers or other large areas where multiple colleges can set up a table display to share information.

High school students and their parents are encouraged to attend college fairs to walk around and get information from a variety of colleges all in one setting. Students can ask university representatives at each table questions about the school and take home brochures full of information. Fall college fairs usually attract high school seniors getting ready to apply to college. 

Alumni volunteers staff the Temple University table and can provide information about Temple’s academic programs, student life, living in Philadelphia and more. Undergraduate Admissions will mail you a box of recruiting materials, including a tablecloth and brochures. 

For this type of recruitment activity, a specific college or university gives a presentation or information session to students and counselors at a high school during school hours.

These visits are almost always set up in advance so students are given notice that a particular college is coming to their school on a particular day. Students usually sign up ahead of time to meet with the college representative and talk about the college or university to find out about its admissions process and application requirements. These visits can be more personable and help to give students more detailed information about the college or university. They are also a way for representatives to meet with school counselors to enhance the relationship between local high schools and the college or university.

Alumni volunteers can visit a local high school and provide information about Temple’s academic programs, student life, living in Philadelphia and more. Undergraduate Admissions will mail you a box of recruiting materials including brochures. Typically a high school visit is more conversational and a formal presentation is not needed. These are not common events for alumni volunteers, but more so case-by-case.

These events can vary depending on the recruitment goals of each admissions cycle. Examples of involvement for AAAC volunteers include high school guidance counselor receptions or prospective student information sessions. Events are organized through the Undergraduate Admissions Office, but hosted in a centralized area for high school counselors or students to attend and get more information and updates about Temple. They are a great way for volunteers to network with counselors and families to promote Temple.

Alumni volunteers typically attend these receptions along with an Admissions staff member. As an alumni volunteer, you can provide information on your personal experiences with Temple’s academic programs, student life, living in Philadelphia and more.

Opportunities for outreach events or activities also vary depending on the recruitment goals of each admissions cycle. 

AAAC volunteers could reach out to students in the following ways.

• Virtual events and other opportunities: These can include a program-specific webinar or panel discussion, social media takeovers, website highlights and more in which alumni can participate.

• Phone campaigns: Volunteers can contact a list of students (targeted by geography, major or status) to push visits and applications to Temple.

• Letter-writing campaigns: Alumni can write targeted letters to prospective students and applicants who are from a similar geographic location or who are interested in specific majors. 

• Virtual chat sessions or other forms of structured social networking: These types of outreach are not as common, but still considered for potential opportunities. 

Spring college fairs are very similar to fall college fairs, except they usually attract high school juniors and their parents rather than high school seniors. This is because those senior students should have already applied to various colleges by the time spring college fairs take place. 

Alumni volunteers can staff the Temple University table and provide information on Temple’s academic programs, student life, living in Philadelphia and more. Undergraduate Admissions will mail you a box of recruiting materials, including a tablecloth and brochures. 

These receptions are for students who have already been accepted to Temple, but may live too far away to attend an admitted student event on campus. For these students, we can offer events in the homes of alumni or at a local venue in areas that are more than two hours away from Philadelphia. These events give admitted students an opportunity to talk to Temple alumni about their experiences and help them decide if they want to enroll at Temple.

These activities are similar to those outlined for the fall recruitment cycle, and they are also dependent on the goals at the time—for example, phone call, email and letter-writing campaigns may shift to focus just on admitted students during this time. For spring, this includes outreach during “yield season,” or the point in the admissions cycle focused on getting admitted students to enroll at Temple. This time is critical to the admissions process as it is when students are truly figuring out if Temple is a good fit for them.

Temple University’s information sessions provide multiple ways to connect with our Undergraduate Admissions team. Through our live Virtual Information Sessions, prospective students can meet with admissions counselors and current Temple students to learn everything they need to know about the application process. Our recorded information session also allows applicants the convenience of learning more about Temple whenever they choose.

Whether you are working with a first-year, transfer, international or military-connected student, we are here to make sure they are comfortable with the admissions process, have opportunities to ask important questions and feel confident that they have the information they need.

Designed for first-year prospective students and their families, our Weekday Information Sessions are live webinars that allow students to learn more about Temple and the application process. Each session features an admissions counselor and current Temple student, who will share important information with participants.

Virtual Weekday Information Sessions are offered throughout the week at 5 p.m. EST. Each session is 45 minutes long. Students can find more information and register on our website. 

Transfer Tuesday is a general, virtual information session that provides details about the process of transferring to Temple and a general overview of the university. Designed for prospective transfer students and their families, students will learn more about Temple and the transfer application process. Each session features a transfer counselor and current Temple student, who will share important information with participants.

Sessions are offered every Tuesday at 4 p.m. Each session is 45 minutes long. Students can find more information and register on our website. 

Designed for prospective first-year and transfer students and their families, Temple’s Saturday Information Sessions are live webinars that allow students to learn more about Temple and the application process from wherever they are. Each session features an admissions counselor and current Temple student, who will share important information with participants. 

Saturday Information Sessions take place on selected dates and each session is 45 minutes long. Students can find more information and register on our website. 

Representatives from Temple University International Admissions host several virtual events throughout the year in which students can learn more about Temple and the admissions process. If students would like to arrange a personal meeting with a Temple International representative, they can visit go.oncehub.com/tuninternationaladmissions. 

If you are speaking with a counselor or an education consultant, please have them email [click-for-email] to arrange a virtual visit for the students in their school or organization.

There isn’t just one way for students to explore Temple University. Temple offers multiple campus tour options, including in-person tours led by a student ambassador, or through a virtual tour of Main Campus that allows students to see our campus buildings and facilities from anywhere. We also offer additional videos so students can get a first look at our residence halls, dining halls and more. Through our tours, students can see firsthand all that Temple offers—from our state-of-the-art learning spaces and environments to the resources available to help support students turn their dreams and goals into a reality. 

Our Welcome Center, located on our Main Campus, offers weekday tours twice a day (Monday through Friday) at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Students can register for a campus tour on our website. 

Our Preview Days offer students the opportunity to visit campus or connect with us virtually to learn more about Temple and interact with representatives from across the university. Our On-campus Preview Days include an Undergraduate Admissions presentation, campus tour led by an Owl Ambassador, and academic previews hosted by our schools and colleges. Virtual programming is also available for students who are unable to make a trip to campus.

On-campus and Virtual Preview Days are offered during the fall semester only.

Most of our schools and colleges offer their own unique and interactive opportunities to explore academic programs and resources. During these specialized events, students can learn more about what its like to live and learn at Temple by joining a group information session, taking a virtual tour or scheduling a one-on-one meeting with a member of the enrollment team.

Representatives from each school and college are also available during these visits to answer any questions and offer additional insight and information.

Experience Temple Day is the university’s invitation for admitted students to learn even more about what it’s like to be an Owl. Hosted on Main Campus in Philadelphia for students admitted for the fall semester, students will explore our academic programs, financial aid opportunities and more. Students can register by logging in to their TUportal.

These events are held by colleges from February to April for admitted students only. The National Candidates Reply Date is May 1, so these events are held before then to give first-year students time to decide where they ultimately want to enroll as college students.

Temple encourages students to follow the application plan that is best fit for them, whether that means applying Early Action or Regular Decision. 

Our Early Action deadline allows students to apply earlier in the admissions cycle, which means they will receive an admissions decision earlier. The deadline to apply Early Action is Nov. 1. Students will receive a decision no later than Jan. 10. This is not a binding decision, but a good opportunity for students to make their college decision earlier. We also tend to admit students who apply Early Action at a higher rate. 

Students who apply by the Feb. 1 Regular Decision deadline will receive an admissions decision four to eight weeks after completing their application. 

The Undergraduate Admissions Office reviews, makes decisions and sends out decision letters on a daily basis. For first-year students, this usually happens from Oct. 1 to April 30. Please note: Early Action candidates receive priority review and can delay our review of Regular Decision candidates. During peak admissions (October through March), it might take more than eight weeks for a decision to be made on a student’s application.

Transfer student decisions are made almost year round—it usually takes two to three weeks to receive an admissions decision.

For more information, we created this six-minute video to share with students to explain the application process and important deadlines.

Temple exclusively uses the Common Application. There is an application fee of $55, which students will submit at the same time as the Common Application unless they qualify for a waiver through a federal or state program.

On the Common Application website, students will submit their general application (demographics, family information, school information), as well as a list of their activities and a personal essay. After submitting their application, students will need to submit additional information through TUportal, which is a communication platform we use to keep them up-to-date with the admissions process. Once students have access to their TUportal account, they can complete additional and required steps in the application process including their self-reported high school transcript. While this step is included within the Common Application for other schools, Temple uses its own, separate tool. 

Shortly after students submit their Common Application, they will receive an email to activate their TUportal account. They will need to take the following steps to complete their application.

• Submit their self-reported high school transcript.

• Confirm SAT or ACT scores have been received, if they chose to submit them.

• Provide any additional information or materials they may be asked to submit.

A student’s application will be complete and ready for our admissions team to review as soon as all of the above information is received. All decisions made regarding a student’s application will be available via TUportal. After submitting their application, students can track its status and learn important Next Steps in TUportal. It’s the gateway to the rest of the application process, so make sure to remind students to keep their username and password handy.

If you are working with a first-year student from a U.S. high school, they will use Temple’s self-report high school transcript tool. This tool allows students to submit their high school courses and grade information prior to submitting their final official high school transcript, and it is a required step in the admissions process.

Once students have submitted their Common Application and activated their TUportal account, they will be notified to self-report their high school courses and grades. This step is completed in TUportal. When entering their high school courses and grade information, they must use their own transcript, as provided by their high school, to enter courses and grades exactly as they appear on their transcript. Inaccurate or false information could result in a review by our admissions committee and revocation of admission.

For additional information, we suggest students watch this video to explain the self-report process.

We are a test-optional school, and choosing to not submit test scores does not negatively impact a student’s application. If a student feels that their test scores are not an accurate reflection of their academic ability, or they were not able to take SAT or ACT tests due to circumstances outside of their control, they do not have to apply with scores. 

If a student chooses not to submit scores, they will apply test-optional. If they believe an SAT or ACT score would complement their application, they should submit their scores. Standardized test scores are otherwise entirely optional and in no way required for admission. 

In addition to admission to Temple, all first-year applicants are also automatically considered for merit-based scholarships and the University Honors Program when they apply. 

All first-year students who complete their application by Feb. 1 are automatically considered for merit scholarships. A separate application is not required. Merit scholarships range from $1,000 to full tuition. Eligibility can include a student’s academic, artistic or athletic accomplishments. In most cases, a student’s financial need will not determine a student’s eligibility for a merit scholarship. Students are notified of merit scholarships in winter/early spring, depending on when they apply. Most merit scholarships at Temple require a minimum GPA to be maintained as a full-time student.

Students are also considered for admission to the Honors Program, which provides high-achieving students with enriching academic and learning opportunities, individualized advising, and other mentoring and programming opportunities. The average GPA and SAT score for students admitted to the Honors Program for fall 2021 are 3.92 and 1415, respectively. 

Students who have attempted at least 15 credits of college-level courses are considered a transfer applicant. Just like first-year applicants, transfer students must apply through the Common Application. Transcripts from every college or university the student has attended are needed when applying. About two weeks after a transfer student is admitted, their credits will be evaluated by the Transfer Admissions team. Almost all college-level courses with a grade of a C or higher are considered.

To be eligible for scholarships, students must have completed at least 15 college-level credits. High school graduates who have attempted less than 15 college-level credits should contact one of our transfer admissions counselors to discuss options.

You can visit our website for more information about the transfer application process. 

International students who are interested in applying to Temple can find the most up-to-date information about the admissions process, important deadlines and more on our website.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Temple University is highly competitive. We enroll 100 new first-year students into the program every year, but usually over 2,000 apply. Students are admitted into the four-year program right from high school. Usually students have over a 3.6 GPA and a B+ or higher in their high school science courses to be considered for nursing admission. If a student is admissible to Temple, but not selected for nursing, they will still be allowed to attend Temple, but must choose another major to complete. (Students are admitted as undecided under the College of Public Health.)

Temple offers 10+ different bachelor of fine arts programs. Students seeking admission into one of these programs should contact the Tyler School of Art and Architecture admissions office after they apply through Undergraduate Admissions. There is a recommended portfolio for these students and admission is highly competitive for these programs. Please visit Tyler's website for more detailed information.

All students interested in majoring in any music program or the dance program must audition with the Boyer College of Music and Dance after they complete their undergraduate admissions application. Students can be academically admissible to Temple, but not to the respective music or dance program. Those students would be asked to choose another major to complete. Please visit Boyer's website for more information.

All students interested in the BFA in musical theater and BA in acting must audition with Temple University’s Theater Department after they complete their undergraduate admissions application. The BFA in technical production and management is a small program capped at 12 students per year and requires a portfolio, letter of recommendation and a short statement of intent regarding their career goals. Students can be academically admissible to Temple, but not to the respective theater or production program. Those students would be asked to choose another major to complete. Please visit the program's website for more information on the audition and portfolio requirements. ​

Temple University School of Pharmacy, located at the Health Sciences Center, is highly competitive. It is a doctoral-level professional program that students do not have to complete a full bachelor’s degree to be admitted to, but it is recommended. Students can complete 60 credits (two years) of Pre-pharmacy, and then apply to the PharmD program (four years). Many students choose to complete a bachelor’s degree first (four years) and then apply to the PharmD program. Admission to the Pharmacy School is based on undergraduate GPA, a PCAT exam and interview. Since fall 2016, students can be conditionally admitted as a first-year applicant to the Pharmacy program if they have strong GPA and test scores. They would not have to separately apply to the PharmD program after their first two years. Please visit the program's website for more information.

High school students can be admitted into an accelerated track program in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, physical therapy or podiatric medicine. They would complete their bachelor’s degree in three years and the professional program in four years, if they satisfied the admissions requirements of the professional program at the time. These students must first apply through Undergraduate Admissions and then fill out the Health Scholars application. These students must have at least a 3.8 cumulative GPA, four years of high school math and science courses, and show commitment to volunteer activities in a healthcare setting to be considered for any of these programs. 

Accelerated applicants are given priority consideration for admission. However, this is not a guaranteed entry program to Temple’s professional program. This means that students will need to earn the required grade point averages, have a competitive standardized test score, and build a well-rounded professional profile for exposure/service during college. Final acceptance to the professional program is determined by the admissions committee at the professional school. Please visit the Health Scholars website for more information.

Temple University has 18 varsity NCAA Division I athletic programs. All of our programs recruit student athletes from across the county and throughout the world.

Because of NCAA regulations and the involvement of scholarship money for student-athletes, all prospective high school students interested in playing a sport at Temple must contact the Temple coach’s office via their high school coach’s office. There can be no direct contact between students and Temple coaches before certain dates (varies by sport). If a student is recruited to play a sport at Temple, they must submit an undergraduate admissions application and complete the process previously described. The earlier students look into our programs and the earlier they apply for admission, the better. They should stay in contact with the coach’s office and with Admissions. Once they become Temple students, there are various resources on campus to ensure their success as a student athlete including on-campus housing, tutoring and advising centers, and counseling.

Our Temple Rome Entry Year program allows students to complete their first academic year in Rome before going to Main Campus or Temple Japan to finish their degree. The program is small, intimate, and individualized, providing students with a global foundation to their undergraduate degree. Students can choose from 50 of Temple's majors when starting in Rome. The application process is the same as applying for Main Campus; students must only select “Rome Campus” in the Common Application. Please visit the program's website for more information. 

Our Temple Japan Entry Year program allows students to complete their first academic year in Tokyo, Japan before going to Main Campus to finish their degree. Students are immersed in a new culture, learn a new language, make connections with people from all over the world, and are exposed to new experiences that push them to heights that they didn't think possible. Students can choose from 44 of Temple’s majors when starting in Japan. When applying for the Temple Japan Entry Year Program, students will use the Temple University, Main Campus Common Application and select "Japan Campus (First-Year Program in Japan)" as their campus choice. Applicants intending to start and complete their degree at the Japan Campus should directly apply using the separate Common Application for Temple University, Japan Campus. Please visit the program’s website for more information.

Temple’s Global Cities Global Immersion Program is for students with a cosmopolitan view of the world who want a truly international collegiate experience. Offered on Main Campus, Temple Japan and Temple Rome, students in the program have the opportunity to take full advantage of Temple’s global network of urban campuses in three of the world’s most influential cities. The Global Cities Global Immersion Program is open to students in the following undergraduate degree programs at Temple:

• Communication Studies in Klein College of Media and Communication
• Global Studies in the College of Liberal Arts
• International Business in the Fox School of Business

Students in these programs can pursue one of three tracks to complete the program:

• Bachelor’s and master’s degree in four years
• Bachelor’s degree in three years
• Bachelor’s degree in four years

Please visit the program's website for more information.

All students must pay a $200 tuition deposit in order to enroll for the semester in which they applied; all students wishing to live on campus must also pay a $250 housing deposit. These should be paid together for a total of $450 and must be submitted by May 1, which is National Candidate’s Reply Date for first-year students. Earlier deposits are encouraged to ensure space in on-campus housing is available.

On-campus housing is available on a first-come, first-served basis to most Temple undergraduate students. Upperclassmen and most transfer students usually choose off-campus housing, but can stay on-campus if available. Off-campus housing options have gained popularity over the years with the addition of Temple-sponsored apartment buildings that feel just like residence halls, but students pay rent on their own.

• For students wishing to live on campus, they must also complete the Housing and Meal Plan Selection process by May 1 to secure a location, after they have paid their housing deposit.

• Please note: Paying the housing deposit does not guarantee a housing assignment.

• Once students submit their enrollment and housing deposits, they can select their own housing and meal plan through our online selection process, which is available in MyHousing via TUportal. 

• Housing selection starts in early April, but students can explore residence hall options at any time.

• Roommate resources: Roommate Matching at Temple YouTube video and Roommate Matching Guide

• Temple offers Living Learning Communities based on academics/special interest groups, and gender-inclusive housing options.

Please make sure students review the Housing Selection Process for Fall 2022 from University Housing and Residential Life for the most up-to-date information.

All new first-year students must complete their Placement Assessments. The required placement tests are in English, math and foreign language and help enroll students in the appropriate-level courses so they can be successful at Temple. To determine which Placement Assessments students are required to take (English, math and/or foreign language), they can visit their Next Steps channel in TUportal. Some students are exempted from these based on their SAT or ACT scores, but please note that certain schools and colleges require that all incoming students take placement assessments regardless of SAT/ACT scores or transfer credit.  

All students are required to complete the New Student Questionnaire (NSQ) accessible via their Next Steps in TUportal.

First-year Orientation is a mandatory step for students to become official Temple Owls. Orientation is typically held June and July and includes academic previews, information on-campus resources and locations, registration for classes, and networking activities. 

In addition to first-year Orientation, there is an Orientation for transfer students as well.

The following points can help give students an idea of how much aid Temple distributes, and which kinds of aid students can receive. 

• 69% of Temple University first-year students receive need-based financial aid each year.

• Temple awards more than $100 million in scholarships each year, and many of our first-year, transfer and international students receive merit scholarships. 

• In recent years, more than half of our students were offered merit-based scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to full tuition.

• Financial aid includes need-based grants, student loans and the Federal Work Study program. Students are highly encouraged to complete a FAFSA form by Feb. 1 every year to qualify for need-based financial aid. 

Additional facts and tips for talking about financial aid and tuition to prospective students.

• FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The website for FAFSA is fafsa.ed.gov.

• Priority deadline to apply for FAFSA is Feb. 1—Priority consideration is given to applications received and completed by this date. After Feb. 1, financial aid awards will continue to be made, but funding is first come, first served.

• Families do not have to have their taxes filed to file a FAFSA. (They can estimate and make changes later.)

• Students do not have to know that they have been admitted yet to file a FAFSA.

• Packaging of financial aid awards begin in February–March each year.

• Applicants are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships based off their high school academic performance; there is no separate application to apply.

• Specific financial aid resources: financial aid and scholarships and college/school scholarship information

• Students can also search for outside scholarships using websites including Scholly, FastWeb and more.

For more on financial aid and scholarship, students can visit the Admissions website or refer to the Student Financial Services Office. We also created a helpful video on ​How to Apply for Financial Aid at Temple University.

Temple’s Fly in 4 program is designed to help students stay on course academically and financially by offering them a clear, four-year academic plan to graduating on time. By graduating in four years, they will avoid extra costs associated with taking courses into additional semesters. The program also offers annual grants to select students each year.

Fly in 4 guarantees that students can complete their degree on time. If they follow all of the program’s requirements and are unable to graduate in four years, Temple will pay for their remaining coursework. And, there is no penalty if they opt out of the agreement or if they take longer than four years to graduate.

• Number of students who have opted into Fly in 4 since its inception in 2014: 36,000+

• Average percentage of first-year students who have chosen to enroll in Fly in 4 from 2014 to 2021: 91%.

• Fly in 4 students graduate at a rate 17% higher than students who do not opt into the agreement.
