*Applications for the Architecture program in Rome are due earlier than the program deadline. Visit the Architecture program page for details.

Students are encouraged to apply early for Temple study abroad programs, as applications for most** programs are reviewed on a rolling basis, and space on some programs is limited. Temple Rome additionally has capacity limits for specific Program Tracks. Once a program (or Program Track) fills, qualified applicants may be placed on a waitlist, or, depending on the term, offered a spot on a second choice Temple program. Students are typically notified of an admission or waitlist decision within two business weeks of submitting a completed application.

Please reference the Program Status and Waitlist Information page for regular updates regarding the program capacity. 

**Though most Temple study abroad programs are reviewed on a rolling basis, applications for the Temple Rome architecture program and Temple Exchanges are reviewed after the deadline.
