• *Per university policy, Temple students who are considered “upper division” are charged an additional $100 tuition per semester. “Upper division” is defined as an undergraduate student with a minimum of 60 earned credits, regardless of how obtained. This policy does not affect non-Temple students.

Non-Temple Student Surcharge

In addition to the above costs, non-Temple students are charged an additional fee to cover program costs as follows: $600, Pennsylvania residents attending Pennsylvania public universities; $800, all other non-Temple students.

Course-Related Fees

Students should also be prepared to budget for course-related excursion fees and studio fees. These fees can range from as low as $20 for a studio fee or half-day excursion to several hundred dollars or more for a three-day excursion.

Deposits, Payment Policies and financial aid

Students admitted to Temple Rome must confirm admission with a non-refundable deposit of $200 within two weeks of acceptance into the program. For students choosing Temple-arranged housing, a non-refundable housing deposit of $200 is also required. Both deposits are credited to the student’s account. Temple University invoices students for all remaining program charges, at which point final payment must be made. Financial aid vouchers and/or award letters are the only exceptions to this policy. Students who have been awarded financial aid must present evidence of such awards according to the procedure outlined in the Financial Aid Section of our web site. More information and all payment due dates appear in the pre-departure information provided to students after acceptance.
