OWLnet Services for QA/RA Students

What is OWLnet?
OWLnet is Temple's interactive web-based student system that allows you to access some of your University records. To access OWLnet, you’ll need your TUid and your Temple personal identification number (PIN) OR your Temple email (access net user name) and password. The "live" system is available Monday through Saturday from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. The off-line portion of OWLnet is available 24 hours a day and contains information captured at the time stated on the web page.

What can you do on OWLnet? You can:

  • Register for classes and revise your roster
  • Add or Drop a Course!  Note:  When the QA/RA schedule is posted for any given semester, students using Owlnet will have first choice.  For at least one week, students will only be able to register via Owlnet, so it’s to your advantage to use it.
  • View your roster
  • Find a Course
  • Change your personal identification number (PIN)
  • View and/or update your addresses.  Please make sure you also call the QA/RA Office, so we have your correct address for our internal mailing lists.
  • Perform selected Financial Services functions
    • Check your current balance and billing summaries
    • Make a payment with a credit card
    • Confirm your classes
  • View your grades and PRINT A TRANSCRIPT for reimbursement from your company!
  • Update your mailing address with Temple

Are there restrictions on the use of OWLnet for registration?
Yes. You must maintain a GPA of at least 2.0. In addition, some academic and financial holds may restrict your use of the system. These holds will prevent you from adding classes to your roster but will still allow you to drop courses and view your roster.

Some courses or sections require special authorization. You can only register for these sections by calling the QA/RA Office.

How up-to-date is the information on OWLnet?
The registration, PIN change, and address update components of OWLnet are all online and real-time. When you register on OWLnet Monday through Saturday (8:00 AM – 10:00 PM), the information is immediately posted in Temple’s registration system.

The other portion of OWLnet is available 24 hours a day, but contains information captured as of the day and time stated on the web page.

What information is needed to access OWLnet for registration?

  • Your TUid and personal identification number (PIN) OR your Temple email (just the “name” portion….do not include “@temple.edu”) and password
  • The 6-digit course reference numbers of the courses you want to add.

Who is eligible to use Owlnet?

  • You are eligible to use Owlnet, as soon as you have registered for one course.  A PIN will automatically be sent to you.
  • You must have completed at least one course during the fall, spring, or summer semesters to view grades.

What happens if you forget your PIN?
PINs are computer generated, so no one has a record of this number. If you lose or forget your PIN, no one can tell you the number.  You must contact 267.468.8564 to request a new one which will be generated by computer within 48 hours and mailed to you.

It is extremely important that your PIN be kept confidential. If you lose your PIN, change it at once on the web through OWLnet. All PINs must be four-digits (0-9). Do not use numbers that may be easily guessed by others, such as your birthday or telephone number.

To sign on to OWLnet:

  • Click “Go” to log on, using your 9-character TUid and your 4-digit personal identification number
  • OR type in the first portion of your Temple email address (do NOT include @temple.edu) and your password.

IMPORTANT: To insure the confidentiality of your student records, please remember to EXIT the system and then close your browser.
