Take your first step toward an amazing adventure!

We look forward to advising you throughout the application and pre-departure processes. Begin by reviewing all program-specific information, including eligibility, before beginning an application. Once you are ready to apply, follow the steps below.

1. Create an account in Temple's new online application portal using your school email address. 
   • Applying for spring 2027 semester at Temple Rome, Temple Japan, or an exchange program? Be sure to use our former application portal, as we are currently transitioning systems.
2. After your account is set up, you’ll be directed to the initial application where you can select your program and term. You will need the following information to complete the initial application:
   • Your personal information and contact information (home and school)
   • Valid school email address and phone number where we can reach you
   • Passport, or a confirmed passport appointment, valid for at least six months beyond the end of your program, due by the program application deadline
   • List of courses you are currently taking
   • Name and contact information for your study abroad advisor (non-Temple students) or academic advisor (Temple students)
3. Once you submit the initial application, you will be directed to your program application page, where you will need to submit additional checklist items and supporting documentation, such as your transcript. Follow the instructions on your page.
   • Supporting documents will be checked off as they are received and processed. When each of the boxes on your application is checked off, your application will be ready for review!

You will be able to save your application information and come back to it at any time to continue submitting materials and/or check the status.
