Alumni Card

You should have received an alumni card when you graduated. Your alumni card basically serves as your key to the University. You will find it useful at several places on campus, such as the library, the TECH Center and recreation services. You may even look at it as a mini diploma, because it proves (to us and other Temple alumni) that you are indeed a Temple graduate. Should you ever need to have your card reissued, or wish to request a new card, fill out our alumni card form or contact the Alumni Center at 215-204-7521 or alumrel@temple.edu.
