Submitting Test Score Reports and Official Transcripts

Official copies of test score reports and transcripts must be sent directly from the originating institution. Copies or electronic duplications are not accepted. Please request to have all test scores submitted directly through ETS or other testing agency, using Temple University code 2906. Please request official* undergraduate and graduate transcripts from all accredited colleges or universities attended to be sent to:

Graduate Programs Office
Attn. Application Processing (Transcripts)
Temple University - College of Education
150 Ritter Annex
1301 Cecil B. Moore Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19122-6091

*Please note submitting unofficial transcripts through My Credentials Vault may allow the graduate department to begin the review process but may also delay the review or decision process. All applicants who are admitted and have not already done so will be required to send an official, final transcript from their degree bearing institution upon admission. Transcripts from all institutions attended must be included even if the credits have been transferred and are shown on the transcript of a receiving college or university. Foreign credentials must be in the original language as well as translated into English. Foreign transcripts require a formal evaluation before an admission decision can be made. To expedite this process, you are strongly recommended to use the WES evaluation service (www.wes.org).

Submitting Your Materials

The Office of Graduate Academic & Student Affairs in the College of Education at Temple University receives supporting application materials for graduate admissions via the Interfolio service.

Submitting Paper Applications

To insure the fastest and most accurate processing, applicants are strongly encouraged to use both the online application and Interfolio to submit their application and supplemental materials. Students may also select to submit their applications via paper (note: the Graduate School charges a slightly higher fee for paper applications).

The full application is available online in PDF format.  (You will need Adobe® Acrobat® or other PDF viewer to access this information.)

If submitting a paper application, required supplemental materials (see checklist above) should be sent to:

Graduate Programs Office
