If you’ve been admitted to Temple University and plan to study at Ambler Campus, the information below will serve as important reminders as you prepare to join us on campus. Please remember that your letter of acceptance is available through TUportal; we do not mail letters.

1) Plan to Attend our Admitted Student Reception

Admitted students will receive an invitation to our Admitted Student Reception at Temple Ambler. Additionally, all Temple Ambler admitted students are encouraged to attend an Experience Temple Day at Main Campus.

2) Get your financial aid in order.

If you are a U.S. citizen, submit your FAFSA application by the February 1 priority deadline. Visit Student Financial Services for more information.

3) Choose Temple!

To reserve your place in the class, you must submit a nonrefundable enrollment deposit of $200. Learn more about submitting your enrollment deposit here.

4) If needed, request a room in University Housing.

As a reminder, Temple University Ambler is a commuter campus.  All students can take advantage of the free Inter-campus Bus that runs between Ambler Campus and Main Campus.

If you would like a room in University Housing (available at Main Campus), please ensure you have submitted your $200 enrollment deposit first. Once your enrollment deposit goes through, you will receive access to the Housing Application on your Applicant Portal. A $250 housing deposit is required to submit the Housing Application. The housing deposit may only be paid after the enrollment deposit is verified as these are two separate payments. Once you submit the Housing Application and $250 housing deposit, you will be eligible to participate in Room Selection. Learn more about housing and the Housing Selection Process.
