Occupational Therapy

Prospective Students

Welcome, my name is Jaclyn Shay and I am a student in the Masters of Occupational Therapy Program here at Temple University.  I am here to provide answers to any questions that you might have about joining us here at Temple.  Below is some information that my classmates and I thought would be helpful.

Please contact me with any questions at: jms839@temple.edu

If you prefer a phone call, I'll be glad to call you.

 Email:  Upon acceptance to Temple University, and confirmation, all students receive an email account.  Go here to apply:  https://accounts.temple.edu/

 Housing:  Some of my classmates live in the city and take public transportation to the Health Sciences Campus.  Many of my classmates live outside the city and commute via car.  A few classmates live in the residence hall of the Podiatry School, at 8th & Race Sts., and take the free shuttle to class.  There are always HSC students looking for roommates, and I would be glad to get some numbers off the bulletin board for you.  There is also a database of off-campus housing, and other information available from the Housing Office:  http://www.temple.edu/housing/
