The University Computer Fee defrays the enormous cost of providing computer services to all Temple students, regardless of location.   The fee covers:

·         maintaining OwlNet registration for students;

·         providing 24-hour computer service to students through Temple's HELP line (215.204.8000);

·         providing computer access to Temple's library;

·         maintaining Temple homepages;

·         creating the new TUid system which eliminates the use of social security numbers thereby enhancing personal security against ID theft;

·         providing free Temple e-mail service to students;

·         helping to defray the cost of videoconferencing;

·         purchasing new remote technology for Temple classes;

·         providing computer equipment in Temple remote classrooms for Powerpoint presentations, Internet access, and so forth.

The University’s fee is pro-rated which means it is based on the number of credits a student takes each semester.  This assures that part-time students do not carry an undue share of the cost.  Other Universities charge $1,000 per semester fee per student for similar services.

Please register early to guarantee your spot in a class. Sorry, but if you register after the official registration period, you will incur a $50 reinstatement fee, which cannot be removed from your account.   In addition, if you do not pay your bill by the due date and your registration is cancelled, the University will also impose a $100 reinstatement fee.  Please register in a timely manner and pay your bill by the due date to avoid these penalties.
