Parking
After you unload your belongings upon arriving to campus, you will be directed to the closest parking lot being used during move-in to park your vehicle.

Each student will be issued one parking pass during check in at no cost. The parking pass is valid for a 2-hour window.  

After 2 hours, we ask that you leave the parking lot to allow space for the next group of students arriving on campus. Additional cars must pay the daily parking rate.

Directions to Campus

In the Move-in Guide, you will find a map with directions on campus along with the parking lots each building will use to manage their check-in process. Staff and security officers will also be present to help manage this process and direct you accordingly in order to insure for a smooth transition.

Students and their families will unload their vehicle along the sides of each building in accordance with their move in appointment time. Safety and Security will be out on the road directing traffic and guiding you to the appropriate locations.

When arriving to campus, you'll want to pull along side of the road near the white tents available for move-in. We suggest family/friends stay with the vehicle to begin unloading belongings to the curb while the student goes to their building to check in. For this reason, we generally ask that you bring friends or family members with you so they can help. Following the unloading of your vehicle, you'll be directed where to park. 

To make moving in as easy as possible, each building has a supply of Temple University Housing carts that students and their families can use to transport their things from their car to their room.

During the check-in process, students can check out a cart by filling out a digital form which allows the student a 30 minute window for their cart. If the cart is not returned, there is a $300 fine for replacement. Please be considerate regarding carts as other students will also need to use them. Carts will also be available throughout the year and students can use them as needed by going to the front desk of their building during business hours.
