Apply Using the Common Application

Temple exclusively uses the Common Application. When completing your application, be sure to indicate whether you’re applying Early Action or Regular Decision. Even if you submit before or by the Early Action deadline, you still must indicate Early Action on your application to ensure you will receive an admissions decision early.

There’s an application fee of $55, which you will submit with the Common Application unless you qualify for a waiver through a federal or state program.

After submitting the Common Application, you’ll need to submit additional information through TUportal, which is a communication platform we use to keep you up-to-date with the admissions process.

In addition to your application, we also consider several other factors to fully capture each student’s experiences, interests and academic coursework, including

• an application essay,
• extracurricular activities,
• optional letters of recommendation,
• standardized test scores and
• your high school performance.

Learn more about completing your undergraduate application.

Complete Your Application on TUportal

Shortly after you submit your Common Application, you’ll receive an email to activate your TUportal account where you’ll need to take the following steps to complete your application. 

• Submit your self-reported high school transcript.
• Confirm your SAT or ACT scores have been received, if you chose to submit them (we are a test-optional school).
• Provide any additional information or materials you may be asked to submit.

Your application will be complete and ready for our admissions team to review as soon as all of the above information is received.
