Fall Early Arrival Request Procedures

In an effort to organize requests submitted by students, faculty, and staff, the Procedures for Early Arrival Requests have been developed to ensure the University Community is aware of the requirements for students with a need to arrive on campus prior to Opening which is scheduled for August 27-28, 2008 for new students and August 30-31, 2008 for returning students.   Permission for early arrival will be at the discretion of the Office of University Housing and Residential Life.

ELIGIBILITY

Students who have a need to be on campus prior to Opening may include those:

  1. participating in athletic training,
  2. arriving early due to long distance flights,
  3. involved in University-sponsored leadership activities, or
  4. working for a University office. 

WHERE TO SUBMIT REQUESTS?

Students will need to read all of the following instructions and then click here to submit the Early Arrival Request Form.

WHEN ARE THE REQUEST FORMS DUE?

Early Arrival Request Forms must be submitted prior to Friday, August 1, 2008.  Requests received after this deadline will not be approved.  Early arrival dates for those with approved requests can be submitted for the following days:

  • Sunday, August 24, 2008

  • Monday, August 25, 2008

  • Tuesday, August 26, 2008

COST ASSOCIATED WITH REQUESTS?

Students approved for Early Arrival are subject to the per diem rate for the current term in which a resident is requesting to arrive early based on the number of days a student arrives prior to the official check-in day.  Rates will automatically be calculated and posted on students’ accounts once the request is approved and entered into the University’s system. 

HOW CAN FACULTY OR STAFF SUBMIT REQUESTS?

Students as individuals may submit an Early Arrival Request Form, or faculty and/or staff members may submit the form on their students’ behalf.

Individual Submission

Any resident student with a reason to arrive early will be required to complete the Early Arrival Request Form. 

Faculty/Staff Submission

Submit a list prepared in Microsoft Excel with 1) the name(s) and Temple University I.D. number(s) of the student(s) and 2) the early arrival date being requested.  Email this list to Addis Drewery, at addis.drewery@temple.edu prior to the deadline date of
August 1, 2008.

Staff members within the University community who normally work with International students and the final Orientation groups should submit their Early Arrival Requests by the deadline date of August 1, 2008. 

All requests for Early Arrivals for Fall 2008 will be due no later than August 1, 2008.  Students who wish to be considered for early arrivals after the deadline date will be subject to a late fee of $50.00 that will be assessed to the student account or department account if the request is accepted and approved.   

All groups must provide the details requested in order to be approved for arriving early to campus.

Thanks in advance for you cooperation!
