information,
Welcome to Temple University. Being at Temple means joining a university connected to the world around it. Students learn from talented faculty, build community with peers from many backgrounds, and take advantage of everything Philadelphia has to offer. Being at Temple means showing up, getting involved, asking questions, and learning how to navigate a large and vibrant institution. These experiences prepare students for meaningful lives after graduation.
College is an exciting time, and it is also a major transition. Student success at Temple means more than earning a degree. It means learning how to use resources, building community, exploring interests, and moving steadily toward graduation and future goals.
Student Affairs supports students through that entire experience. Our work focuses on well-being, belonging, involvement, and leadership. These factors play an important role in whether students stay engaged and make progress. We partner closely with academic colleagues so students know where to go, who to ask, and how to get the support they need to thrive.
This guide is meant to help you understand what Temple offers and how your student can make the most of their time here. It highlights important services, key offices, and practical information that will be useful throughout the year. Families who understand how the university works are better positioned to encourage students at the right moments, and that makes a meaningful difference.
Please take the time to read and return to this guide. We want you to feel informed, confident, and connected as your student begins this chapter.
Thank you for trusting us with your student’s education and development. We are excited to welcome them into our community and support them all the way to commencement.
Go Owls!
Warm Regards,
Jodi Bailey, Ph.D. Vice President for Student Affairs

As required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, Temple University cannot disclose a student’s non-directory education records without the student’s written consent or without proof that the student is the tax dependent of the parent. Examples of educational records include grades, course schedules, disciplinary actions, and financial records.
We encourage you to have an open and honest conversation with your student about FERPA to gain a mutual understanding of the expectations you have of each other regarding your access to their educational records. Once a mutual understanding has been reached, your student can complete a FERPA Waiver and Proxy Access form in their TUportal.
Note: Students have the authority to make changes to FERPA Waiver and Proxy Access permissions at any time.
FERPA Waiver
A student must designate a parent or family member as a FERPA-waived contact for a University official to disclose academic information. To designate a FERPA-waived contact, your student should follow these steps:
1. Log into TUportal .
2. Click on the Student Tools tab.
3. In the Records Channel, click on FERPA Waiver Menu.
4. Click on FERPA Contacts to add or remove a contact.
A student can grant others permission to access certain components of their information in their TUportal. This is called granting Proxy Access, by creating an additional login for a proxy. Students can set up multiple proxies, granting each different access depending upon who they are. A valid e-mail address of the proxy is required for access. To grant someone Proxy Access, your student should follow these steps:
1. Log in to TUportal using your AccessNet username and password.
Login to TUportal to edit FERPA Permissions.
2. Click on Self-Service Banner link under TUAPPLICATIONS.
3. Click on Student menu tab.
4. Click on FERPA Waivers menu item and then select Proxy Access.

Education Abroad provides transformative global learning experiences that prepare the diverse students from Temple to develop as engaged global citizens, collective problem-solvers, and leaders in their chosen fields.
Almost anywhere! Students can choose from a broad range of courses and internships at Temple campuses in Rome and Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto); Temple’s program in Oviedo, Spain; language exchange partnerships in Asia, Europe, and Oceania; faculty-led summer programs worldwide; school/college options and external partner programs expand offerings to maximize the possibilities for students year-round. To view programs relevant to their major, we encourage students to read our School/College study abroad guides (studyabroad.temple.edu/ apply-go/choosing-program/temple-school-college-guides).
Students who complete a qualifying study abroad program successfully will also have their World Society (GG) GenEd waived.
Why should my student consider studying abroad?
Studying abroad is an impactful learning opportunity that offers so many benefits (studyabroad.temple.edu / apply-go/benefits-study-abroad). Students who participate enhance their academic experience, develop an expanded worldview, and achieve
personal growth. Education abroad has also been shown to advance employability and lead to higher career earnings (forumea.org/salary-study-2 025.html ).
Guidance in choosing a program, financial and scholarship advising, pre-departure preparation, on-site support for Temple programs, and sessions for returned students. We encourage students to take ownership of the process to gain independence and become more prepared for their time abroad. We also invite parents and families of study abroad participants to sessions geared towards them!
Students should review our Foundations of Study Abroad video series (studyabroad.temple.edu/planning-resources/ foundations-study-abroad-videos) and speak with their Academic Advisor about studying abroad, and attend group advising or program information sessions (studyabroad.temple.edu / events-deadlines/event-registration) in Education Abroad.
First-year students who have never had a passport can also apply for our Passport Scholarship (studyabroad.temple.edu / planning-resources/financing-study-abroad/ scholarships/passport-scholarship) to cover the cost of their first passport

flyin4@ temple.edu �� fly.temple.edu
Fly in 4 is Temple’s innovative way of ensuring your student completes their degree in four years—or sooner.
The Fly in 4 program helps students stay on track academically and financially, by offering a clear roadmap to ensure your Temple Owl graduates on time. By graduating in four years, they avoid the extra costs associated with taking extra semesters. If your student meets the program’s “checkpoints” and is unable to graduate in four years due to the unavailability of required courses, Temple will pay for the remaining required coursework. Think of it like a free insurance policy!
Like most partnerships, both sides have to do their part for it to work. For its part, Temple provides your student with the resources they need to graduate in four years, like academic advising classes offered when they need them, and a dedicated dashboard to track their progress.
For their part, students need to meet the following checkpoints:
• Consult with an academic advisor each semester
• Register for classes during the priority registration period for each upcoming semester and select courses consistent with their academic plan
• Earn 30 credits per year
• Have a graduation review before their senior year
All first-year freshmen are automatically enrolled in Fly in 4 at the start of their first semester. Your student commits to graduating in four years by meeting several annual checkpoints and tracking their progress on the Fly in 4 dashboard in TUportal. Transfer students should consult an academic advisor to ask about their eligibility.
We include all freshmen in Fly in 4 from the start because of the program’s proven track record:
• More than 50,000 students have participated in Fly in 4 since 2014
• More than 90% of students who meet all the Fly in 4 checkpoints graduate in 4 years or less
• On average, students who meet all checkpoints earn higher GPAs, more credits, and graduate sooner than their classmates who miss checkpoints
The best part? There's no penalty if they miss a checkpoint or if they take longer than four years to graduate.
Fly in 4 helps students manage the demands of school, work, and extra-curriculars by providing them with easy-to-follow checkpoints that ensure their quickest path to graduation. Even if your student may need more than four years to graduate, encourage them to participate in Fly in 4 and meet their checkpoints every semester to stay on track for their academic plan and set themselves up for success.

General Education is a signature curriculum for Temple undergraduate students.
Every Temple undergraduate student's education includes completion of the General Education curriculum, with over 200 courses to choose from. While majors and minors provide students a depth of knowledge in a specific field, General Education provides students with the breadth of knowledge to make the major(s) and minor(s) work for them in a dynamic, constantly evolving world. General Education classes build habits of mind that are important not only in an academic context but are also sought after by employers and central to civic participation. Transfer students can explore options for transfer credits that will apply to General Education.
�� undergradstudies.temple. edu/about/gened
Exploration, critical and interdisciplinary thinking, skill development, and breadth of knowledge are fundamental traits of the General Education curriculum and an intrinsic part of a Temple undergraduate’s pathway to graduation. The competencies and areas built into your student's General Education classes develop well-rounded, flexible, problem-solving individuals. General Education is vital to Temple’s educational mission, institutional accreditation, and legal responsibility to the State of Pennsylvania.
Students can browse a list of General Education courses that fulfill each area in the Temple bulletin (bulletin.temple. edu/undergraduate/general-education). Your student can also go to "Plan Your Schedule" or "Browse the Schedule" in TUportal and use the Attribute filter to find a General Education area, and then use keywords to search for topics that interest them. Most importantly, students should talk to an advisor!

We value the perspectives of all community members and commit to an evolving definition of what it means to be a “good neighbor.”
How does Good Neighbor help students?
We provide students with tips about city resources and notable locations, ways to connect with neighbors, and how to respectfully move into/out of their apartments.
What do you recommend I do to help prepare my student for living off campus for the first time?
Temple has an Off-Campus Living office and website with guidance for students looking for housing in the community surrounding campus (offcampus.temple.edu). In addition, help your student consider the things that they do to create and respect the community in which they live. Simple examples include introducing yourself to your next-door neighbor, following rules about trash and recycling, and being respectful with noise. Small acts can go a long way in developing a community.

The Office of Emergency Management is dedicated to preparing for, mitigating against, responding to and recovering from critical incidents and disasters that may impact our Temple community. By building a culture of preparedness within the university, we aim to facilitate adaptability and foster resilience to disruptions and stressors of any kind. Our website serves as a resource for information on how to prepare for emergencies, get involved in preparedness activities, learn about what you can do to build personal resilience, and understand what actions to take during an emergency situation.
In order to become TUready, you must take part in your own readiness! Being well informed about potential emergencies is the first step in making sure that you know what to do and can take appropriate action to prioritize your safety. Learn more about personal preparedness, emergency procedures and the tools and resources you need to be TUready. Know what to do when emergencies happen on campus and how you can find critical information.

Safety is not just in our title – it’s in everything we do. Our mission is to serve the university community, to protect persons and property, and to enforce university policies as well as local, state and federal laws. We offer many resources and programs to complement our law enforcement initiatives but central to our success is working collaboratively with you to make our campus as safe as possible. We appreciate your assistance and cooperation, as public safety is a shared responsibility.
Our agency is staffed by highly-trained police and security personnel, available 24/7, 365 days a year to assist Temple University students, employees, and visitors.
Temple University prioritizes safety with five public safety locations across campus, extensive lighting, Code Blue emergency phones, a state-of-the-art camera system, and an integrated computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system linked to the Philadelphia Police Communication Center’s CAD system. In July 2024, the Department of Public Safety enhanced its Communication Center technology. Along with the existing CAD system, we implemented the Automated Records Management System (ARMS)—a Clery-compliant platform that streamlines data collection, improves dispatch efficiency, consolidated reporting, and enhances data integration. This upgrade strengthens our ability to maintain a safe campus environment through faster and more effective incident response.
Additionally, the TUSafe app provides a one-touch mobile connection to Temple University Police for immediate assistance.
We encourage you to review our Annual Security and Fire Safety Report to learn more about our department and services.

Our dining program was created with you in mind! Temple Culinary Services provides a range of delicious and healthy options with meal plans that nourish your campus experience.
A meal plan unlocks meals, coffee, snacks, and more at Temple Culinary Services locations across main campus. Each meal plan includes meal swipes preloaded onto one’s OWLcard or mobile wallet.
Weekly meal plans provide a weekly allowance of meal swipes, resetting each Sunday at 12:01 a.m. Block meal plans provide a bundle of meal swipes, which expire at the end of the semester.
H @TempleDining @ @TempleDining
New students (first-year and transfer) with housing contracts on main campus are required to purchase a weekly meal plan with a minimum of 12 meals per week. If no meal plan is chosen, the Weekly 12 will be assigned by default for both semesters.
Returning and off-campus students are not required to purchase a meal plan, but are encouraged to do so to enrich their campus experience. Although we created the Weekly 5 and block meal plans with these groups in mind, any meal plan offered would be the perfect complement to the commuter experience.
Meal swipes are meals included in your meal plan, which can be used two ways:
1. to enjoy all-you-care-to-eat dining at Esposito Dining Center
2. as meal equivalency, a credit toward buying à la carte food items at select retail locations (excluding coffee and convenience outlets).
Am I allowed to treat friends or family to a meal using my meal plan?
If your meal plan includes guest meals, you can use them to treat others to a meal exclusively at Esposito Dining Center.
Otherwise, you’re welcome to treat friends and family to a meal using cash or credit at any of our campus dining locations.
Temple Culinary Services provides an array of food options to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, dietary needs, and restrictions – including vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free, halal, and kosher. Students seeking special dietary accommodations and/ or nutritional advice are encouraged to reach out to our on-site dietitian at TempleUDietitian@aramark.com to schedule a consultation.

Renting a textbook allows students to use a textbook for the entire term (including during exams) for a reduced price. Students may highlight and write in rental books. This is advantageous for non-major-based courses or non-continuation courses. Digital versions are also available for certain titles.

Bienvenidos a Temple University. Formar parte de Temple significa unirse a una universidad conectada con el mundo que la rodea. Los estudiantes aprenden de un cuerpo docente talentoso, construyen comunidad con compañeros de diversos orígenes y aprovechan todo lo que Filadelfia puede ofrecer. Estar en Temple significa estar presente, involucrarse, hacer preguntas y aprender a desenvolverse en una institución grande y vibrante. Estas experiencias preparan a los estudiantes a llevar vidas significativas después de graduarse.
La experiencia universitaria es una etapa apasionante y, a la vez, una transición importante. El éxito estudiantil en Temple implica mucho más que obtener un título. Significa aprender a utilizar los recursos, construir comunidad, explorar intereses y avanzar con paso firme hacia la graduación y las metas futuras.
La oficina de Asuntos Estudiantiles brinda apoyo a los estudiantes a lo largo de toda esta experiencia. Nuestra labor se centra en el bienestar, el sentido de pertenencia, la participación y el liderazgo. Estos factores desempeñan un papel fundamental para que los estudiantes se mantengan comprometidos y avancen en sus estudios.
Colaboramos estrechamente con nuestros colegas académicos para asegurar que los estudiantes sepan a dónde acudir, a quién consultar y cómo obtener el apoyo que necesitan para avanzar.
Esta guía tiene como objetivo ayudarle a comprender lo que Temple ofrece y cómo su estudiante puede aprovechar al máximo su tiempo aquí. Destaca servicios importantes, oficinas clave e información práctica que resultará útil a lo largo del año. Las familias que comprenden el funcionamiento de la universidad están mejor posicionadas para brindar ánimo a los estudiantes en los momentos oportunos, y eso marca una diferencia significativa.
Por favor, tómese el tiempo para leer esta guía y consultarla frecuentemente. Queremos que se sienta informado, seguro y conectado a medida que su estudiante inicia este capítulo.
Gracias por confiarnos la educación y el desarrollo de su estudiante. Nos entusiasma darles la bienvenida a nuestra coamunidad y acompañarlos hasta la ceremonia de graduación.
¡Vamos búhos!
Un cordial saludo,
Jodi Bailey, Ph.D. Vicepresidente de Asuntos Estudiantiles

Segun exigido por FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 , Ley de Confidencialidad y Derechos de Educación de la familia de 1974), Temple University no puede divulgar los expedientes escolares de los estudiantes sin el consentimiento escrito del estudiante o sin pruebas de que el estudiante es un dependiente fiscal de los padres. Ejemplos de dichos expedientes escolares incluyen calificaciones, horarios de clases, acciones disciplinarias y registros financieros.
Los motivamos a tener conversaciones abiertas y honestas con sus estudiantes sobre FERPA para ponerse de acuerdo en las expectativas sobre el acceso que ustedes, como padres, tendrán a los expedientes escolares. Si su estudiante está de acuerdo en darles acceso a sus expedientes, su estudiante podrá llenar una exención de FERPA y la forma “Acceso proxy” en su TUportal
Nota: Los estudiantes tienen la autoridad de hacer cambios en cualquier momento a la exención FERPA y a los permisos para Acceso proxy.
Inicie sesión en TUportal para editar los permisos FERPA.
Un estudiante debe designar a un padre o miembro de la familia como “un contacto con exención FERPA” para que un oficial universitario pueda divulgar información académica. Para designar un contacto con exención FERPA , su estudiante debe seguir estas instrucciones:
1. Iniciar sesión en TUportal
2. Hacer clic en la pestaña con título “ Student Tools ”.
3. En Records Channel, hacer clic en el menú “ FERPA Waiver ”.
4. Hacer click en “ FERPA Contacts ” para añadir o quitar un contacto.
Un estudiante puede concederle permiso a otras personas para acceder a ciertos elementos de la información en el TUportal. Eso se llama conceder “Acceso Proxy”, al crear un login adicional para la persona proxy. Los estudiantes pueden configurar varios proxys con diferentes tipos de acceso dependiendo de quienes son. El proxy debe tener un correo electrónico válido para tener acceso. Para concederle acceso proxy a alguien, su estudiante debe seguir estas instrucciones.
1. Iniciar sesión en TUportal con el nombre de usuario y clave que use en AccessNet
2. Hacer clic en el enlace “ Self-Service Banner ” bajo TUAPPLICATIONS
3. Hacer clic en la pestaña con tîtulo “ Student Menu ”.
4. En el menú, hacer clic en “ FERPA Waivers ” y seleccionar “ Proxy Access ".
5. Hacer click en “Add Proxy ".
La seguridad no esta solo en el título sino es parte de todo lo que hacemos. Nuestro objetivo es servir a la comunidad universitaria, proteger personas y propiedades, y hacer cumplir las políticas universitarias al igual que las leyes locales, estatales y federales. Ofrecemos muchos recursos y programas para complementar nuestras iniciativas de agencia de seguridad. Pero para tener éxito debemos de colaborar con ustedes para que nuestro campus sea lo más seguro posible. Apreciamos su ayuda y cooperación ya que la seguridad pública es responsabilidad compartida.
Nuestro departamento cuenta con personal policial y de seguridad altamente capacitado, disponible 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana, 365 días al año para ayudar a los estudiantes, empleados y visitantes de la Universidad de Temple.
La Universidad de Temple prioriza la seguridad pública con cinco ubicaciones en el campus, iluminación extensa, teléfonos de emergencia Code Blue, un sistema de cámaras de última generación y un sistema de despacho de asistencia vinculado al sistema del Centro de Comunicación de la Policía de Filadelfia. En julio del 2024, el Departamento de Seguridad Pública actualizó la tecnología de su Centro de Comunicaciones. Además del sistema CAD existente, el departamento implementó el Sistema Automatizado de Gestión de Registros (ARMS), una plataforma compatible con Clery que optimiza la recopilación de datos, mejora la eficiencia del despacho, consolida los informes y optimiza la integración de datos. Esta actualización fortalece nuestra capacidad de mantener un ambiente de seguridad en el campus a través de una respuesta a incidentes más rápida y efectiva.
