Transfer Owl Orientation

Transfer Owl Orientation Overview

Designed to prepare you for your first semester at Temple and beyond, Orientation is a series of steps that build on one another.

Transfer Owl Foundations

Transfer Owl Foundations is a two-part online experience that helps you get familiar with your school or college and the broader university community.

  • Part I - Academic Readiness: focuses on your school or college. You’ll learn about the resources specific to your academic program and what to expect at your Transfer Owl Advising and Registration meeting.
  • Part II - Thriving at Temple:  zooms out to the broader university, covering campus-wide resources and services you’ll use throughout your time at Temple.
Transfer Owl Advising and Registration

At Transfer Owl Advising and Registration, you’ll meet virtually with an academic advisor and register for your fall courses. This is a great opportunity to ask questions specifically related to your course schedule, AP/IB/transfer credits,  and academic plan. 

Meetings will take place between May and August. You will receive your Zoom link via email after you make your RSVP.

Weeks of Welcome

Weeks of Welcome is a two-week stretch of events and programming that kicks off during Fall Move-In and runs through the first week of classes. You’ll meet other students, explore Philadelphia, and get settled into life at Temple.

Transfer Owl Advising and Registration reservations will open in early April for incoming transfer students who have confirmed their enrollment for Fall 2026.

Check both the email you used on your application to Temple and your Temple email for more details!
