External Tabling and Vending Program

The Student Center Vendor Program allows business owners or other vendors the opportunity to sell their products to the Temple University community. Students, Staff, and Faculty are able to take advantage of this program. Reservations for the Vendor Program are available from the first through the last day of classes each semester and during special designated times of summer sessions.

Vendors are provided with tables in the Student Center Atrium, as well as in our outdoor locations at the Student Center, Bell Tower, Liacouras Walk, and Alumni Circle. In all outdoor locations, tables will be provided at an additional cost. Vendors are not permitted to bring their own tables.

A vendor who is interested in participating in the Vendor Program must be:

  • Registered with a vendor’s license and/or registered company.
  • Must carry liability insurance for any and all merchandise.

This information is required every year and is kept on file for 1 academic year.  Vendors are also required to fill out a Vendor Application Form.
