Parent Information

Welcome to Temple, Parents! We are thrilled that you too will be becoming a part of the Temple family. We recognize that while this is an exciting time for your families, it will also be an emotional time. Please know that Temple has provided Welcome Week programs for students and parents alike. Some of the programs are specifically for you. We have listed some of these events that you might want to stop by once you have moved in your new Temple Owl! Also in this section, we have included information about food vending locations and hotels. Please don't hesitate to contact Student Activities or Housing and Residential Life with questions!
