Are you planning to or did you already transfer to Temple? If so, this article's for you! We know that transferring to a new school can be both exciting and overwhelming. Fortunately, we've got you covered with plenty of resources to smooth the transfer transition.

Transfer Mentor Program

The Transfer Mentor Program matches incoming transfer students with a transfer ambassador, a current student who previously transferred to Temple. The program is a great way to establish a relationship with someone new on campus and to meet other mentees in the program. Through one-on-one meetings with a mentor and monthly social opportunities, the Transfer Mentor Program is a way to receive consistent guidance and support throughout your transition.

Transfer Newsletter

Temple's transfer newsletter keeps incoming Owls up to date on crucial university information. The newsletter is sent out automatically each month to guide new students in the right direction. From highlighted events to add/drop dates, the newsletter is a friendly resource to keep you on track. Beyond necessary information, the newsletter centers itself around different themes, such as mental wellness, providing further support for the adjustment of transfer students. 

Temple Transfers Facebook Group

Temple offers an inviting and welcoming environment for all. If you are looking to build new relationships but are struggling to get your foot in the door, we recommend checking out the Temple Transfers Facebook group, which allows students to introduce themselves and get to know one another.

Student Glossary

The Temple student glossary is an easily accessible resource for Owls to grow familiar with the university's language. The student glossary is crucial as different processes may have had different names or meanings at your previous institution. Becoming aware of Temple's terminology is a simple yet productive way to feel further acclimated with the university.
