The Temple experience begins with the student's decision to join the Temple community and continues beyond graduation. Welcome Week provides a great experience for our students, encouraging each to build and sustain enduring relationships with friends, faculty and administration while supporting their growth into successful alumni and active members of society.

Learn more by visiting the Welcome Week website. Check out the Welcome Week web site throughout the summer to find updates on the schedule of events. Here are just a few of the events you won't want to miss.

Each residence hall has a mailroom at which students may receive letters and packages. You should receive either a key or a combination to your assigned mailbox during check-in. Larger packages are delivered and can be picked up at each residence hall's front office. It is important that the room or apartment number is included on all letters and packages.

On Main Campus, there is a UPS Store in the lower level of the Student Center where you can buy stamps and send express mail and regular packages. Mailing supplies can also be purchased in the adjoining bookstore.

To send mail or a package ahead of time, please visit Mail Services section to get mailing addresses for on-campus residents to ensure proper delivery of mail or packages.

Information on the Diamond Dollars program is sent to students in July. Diamond Dollars is a debit system that uses your OWLcard almost anywhere on campus (including in washers and dryers) to access deposited funds.

In case of a lost OWLcard, report it immediately to the office at 215-204-3140 or at www.temple.edu/diamonddollars, so the money can be frozen on the account until a new OWLcard can be activated for you.
