Here at Temple, we’re committed to making the transfer process as easy as possible. Find out what the application process is like and what the most important deadlines are.
Who is a transfer student?
If you’ve attempted 15 or more college-level credits after high school graduation, you should apply to Temple as a transfer student. High school graduates who have attempted less than 15 college-level credits should contact one of our transfer admissions counselors to discuss options.
Looking to visit campus as a transfer student? We offer Temple Transfer Day on selected dates throughout the year. Learn more on our on-campus tours page
Transform your college experience—and your future—at Temple, where nearly half of new Owls transfer from other colleges and universities.
If you’re a transfer applicant, you’ll first need to decide if you are applying for the spring semester (January start) or fall semester (August start). Be sure to review the application deadlines below for more information.
Temple exclusively uses the Common Application for all transfer student submissions. Be sure to indicate in your application if you are a Dual Admissions student. Dual Admissions is our partnership with local, two-year community colleges through which you can enroll at Temple.
There’s an application fee of $55, which you will submit at the same time as the Common Application unless you qualify for a waiver through a federal or state program. After submitting the Common Application, you’ll need to send your official high school and college transcripts to our Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
The best option is to have official transcripts sent to us electronically. Official transcripts are sent directly from your school’s transcript service directly to us. You would not send it from your personal email account. From your institution’s website, simply select Temple University from the drop-down menu (if available). If your school requires that the transcript be sent via email, please use the following address.
Email: ugapp@temple.edu
If your school is unable to send electronic transcripts please request the official transcript be mailed to the following address.

High school transcripts only need to be sent if you have completed less than 30 college credits. Please contact your high school's counseling office to request a transcript to be sent to us.
