Can someone attend Orientation with me?

Orientation sessions are designed for YOU, a new Temple student! Your parents and family members are encouraged to engage in our Parent and Family Programs. Learn more and encourage your family members and supporters to participate in Parent and Family Orientation!

What if none of the session dates/times listed work for me. 

Available session dates are displayed.  Availability is based on session capacity and only sessions with available seats will appear when registering.  Later session dates will be opened as earlier dates are filled. Still worried? Contact us and we can help! 

What is an Owl Team Leader?

Owl Team Leaders are Temple University’s orientation leaders. Owl Team Leaders work with University staff, new students, and each other to create a positive, welcoming, and inclusive atmosphere for new students and their family members during summer orientation programs and beyond.  They are a great way for you to get all of your Temple questions answered.
