What Happens Next?

The application opens on 12/1 and closes on 5/1. Priority is given to applications received by 3/1.  We recommend applying early for the best chance to get the workshops you want.

Once a student completes their application, that application will be reviewed by Temple Pre-College and students will be notified of their decision 2-4 weeks after application (1/15, 2/15, 3/15, 4/15 and 5/15). You will be given instructions at that time on how to claim your space in your program by paying your 10% deposit. At that time, you will be able to add on-campus housing with an additional deposit to hold your space in the residence hall. Prior to beginning your program, you will complete the next steps for admitted students.

It is recommended to pay your deposit within 2 weeks of acceptance as classes are filled in order of deposit.  The deadline to enroll is 4/1 with later registrations accepted if space allows through 6/1.
