Temple University application deadline details?

I'm planning my application calendar and want to make sure I don't miss any deadlines for Temple University. Is there a main deadline I should be aware of, or do they have any earlier priority dates?

Temple University has several application deadlines depending on the application pathway you choose.

For Early Action, which is non-binding and gives you a decision earlier, the deadline is November 1. If you apply by this deadline, you will receive an admissions decision by January 10.

For Regular Decision, the deadline is February 1. Applying under Regular Decision means you will receive an admissions decision in four to eight weeks after completing your application.

Remember, Temple University uses a rolling admissions policy, so it's advantageous to apply as early as possible in the application cycle. It's also important to keep in mind that certain competitive programs at Temple may have different deadlines, so double-check for your specific program if applicable. For example, Visual Arts, Music, Dance, and Acting programs fall under Boyer College of Music and Dance or Tyler School of Art and Architecture, and the deadlines for these programs may differ from the general early action and regular decision deadlines.

You should also take into account the financial aid application deadlines. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens on December 1, and Temple’s own recommended FAFSA deadline is February 1 to maximize your eligibility for all types of aid.

Make sure you allow yourself sufficient time to gather all the required elements of your application, such as transcripts, test scores, and the Temple Option Essays if you choose to apply test optional. Good luck with your application!
