Campus Life and Student Services

Student Services

The Dean of Students' office provides guidance and support to individual students, parents, and student groups regarding nonacademic issues such as Housing, New Student Orientation, Judicial Affairs, Leadership Programs, Community Service Opportunities,  Campus Activities and Student Clubs and Organizations. In addition, the Dean of Students office also facilitates the oversight of Temple Student Government, The Temple News, the student run newspaper, the Templar, the student yearbook and the Graphics Media Center, which assists student clubs and organizations in printing, duplication and marketing of their events and activities. 

Students are encouraged to become involved in the numerous student leadership positions that are part of each Student Affairs Office. These include peer leadership positions which assist students with disabilities, international students, and resident students as well as students wishing to seek experience in facilities management, technical crews for campus performances, and campus programming for a very diverse student population. 

For more information, please see the Student Handbook at the home page of the Student Assistance Center at www.temple.edu/assistance/
 

Student Media 

Students on the Main Campus produce their own editorially independent newspaper, the Temple News (http://www.temple.edu/temple_news/), during the academic year and distribute it to all campuses. Both the Temple News and the Templar, Temple's annual undergraduate yearbook, are staffed entirely by students and have offices on the Main Campus in the Student Activities Center (SAC). The yearbook focuses on events and activities that affect the entire University community on all campuses. WRTI FM (90.1) is Temple University's jazz and classical music radio station. It is located on the first floor of Annenberg Hall. A limited number of student jobs are available. The Graphics Media Center (GMC), entirely staffed by students, creates and distributes posters, banners, flyers, buttons, and more for the University community. It is located on the third floor of SAC. 

Student Government  Temple Student Government (TSG) is the most comprehensive student government body at the University. TSG is composed of elected representatives from different schools and colleges at Temple, individual collegial assemblies, and at-large representatives. 

TSG advocates student perspectives to the faculty and administration concerning University policy and programs. It also funds a variety of student activities through the TSG Allocations Board. In addition to the University-wide Government, each school and college has its own collegial assembly and some campuses, such as Ambler, have their own student governments. 

Athletics

 

Intercollegiate athletics

Intramural Sports
http://www.temple.edu/recsvcs/

A number of intramural sports, as well as a number of sports clubs, are offered on the Main Campus. The Department of Recreation Services has the most up-to-date listing of these sports and information about how to join them.

Career Development Services

Career Development Services (CDS) assists students and alumni/ae with career planning and provides information on employment. Students are encouraged to begin their career planning as early as possible, preferably in their freshman and sophomore years. Career counseling is offered for all career interests. There is a job posting system for students looking for part-time or summer jobs as well as those looking for full-time employment following graduation. 

The On-Campus Recruiting Program brings several hundred prospective employers to campus. Resumes for this program are posted through 1st Place, and are reviewed by employers. Students selected can then schedule an appointment with the recruiters on-line. Corporate information sessions and seminars on employment in various fields are presented frequently. 

Workshops on resume writing, interview techniques, resume critiques, Liberal Arts career options, success at a job fair, and many others are offered in the Fall and Spring semesters. Career fairs, where students may discuss career plans and career opportunities with employers, are scheduled during the year as well. International career panels and graduate school fairs are offered for those students interested in these options. All events are posted in the Career Development Services office, and a semester "Schedule of Events" is published. Events are also posted on the office's website. 

The Career Development Services Library has extensive information on career planning, occupational information, employer literature, testing (LSAT, GMAT, NTE, etc.) information and graduate school catalogs. A comprehensive set of job posting binders is updated regularly and lists hundreds of jobs available to graduating students. The CDS Library houses networked computers for career searches on the Internet. Hundreds of websites are linked and students can find information about virtually any career path. A stand-alone computer utilizes SIGIPlus software for career guidance and planning. 

Cooperative Education 
(215) 204-7981 

Cooperative Education (Co-op) coordinates classroom instruction and practical application. This program is currently available to students enrolled in Business and Management, Mathematics, and Computer and Information Sciences majors. Students work in fields related to their majors and receive pay during the employment period. They can also receive academic credit through college or department Co-op courses, which may be elected by students on Co-op assignments. Co-op employment resembles regular employment, except that student employees are hired for a limited period of time. Standards and procedures which apply to permanent employees also apply to Co-op student employees. Interviewing, hiring, and determination of salary and benefits are the responsibility of the employer. 

Extern Program
(215) 204-7981 

The Extern Program is an optional work experience/career education program designed to aid students in making better informed career decisions based on practical experience and self-assessment. 

Students accepted into the program receive individualized career counseling, on-the-job experience, and academic assignments. Students are placed as volunteers with organizations in areas which complement their career objectives and/or fields of study. 

The program is usually offered during the first two full weeks of January, coinciding with the University's winter break. Participating students receive two or three academic credits. 

Student Employment
(215) 204-7292

Each year, thousands of Temple University students find part-time, temporary, and summer employment, both on- and off-campus, through the Student Employment Program. Employers from around the Philadelphia region provide student employment opportunities on an ongoing basis. Students can visit Career Development Services to view the listings, which are posted Monday through Friday. Student Employment opportunities are also on line at www.temple.edu/careerdev.  Before seeking employment, international students must contact the Office of International Services for approval and clearance. 

Student Activities

321 Student Activities Center

Health Sciences Center Office
Student Faculty Center
(215) 707-4017

The primary goals of the Student Activities Office are to maintain Temple's student union facilities (Student Activities Center and the Student Faculty Center), provide services and promote programs that are responsive to student developmental needs, and to serve the physical, social, co-curricular and continuing educational needs of the campus community. 

With the support of the Student Activities staff and various student committees and organizations, these student union facilities are "laboratories" where students can learn and practice leadership, programming, management, social responsibility, and interpersonal skills. As a center for the academic community, we provide a place for increased interaction and understanding among individuals from diverse backgrounds. 

The Student Activities Center on Main Campus houses a movie theater, game room, the University bookstore, lounges, meeting rooms, food court, snack bar, travel agent, post office, and full service bank. The Student Activities staff also operates the "Owl Cove," a student-run daytime eatery and evening programming facility in Mitten Hall. 

On the Health Sciences campus, the Student Faculty Center houses a conference center, meeting rooms, cafeteria, art gallery, bookstore, gymnasium, weight room, and dance studio. 

Student Activities staff also serve as advisers and resource persons for more than 140 clubs and organizations, including the student-run Program Boards, fraternities, sororities, and Temple Student Government.

In addition to offering educational workshops and programs, CERT provides free conflict mediation and coaching to students who wish to find alternatives to resolving conflicts such as roommate disputes, organizational or club conflict, borrowing or lending disputes, landlord/tenant disputes, familial conflict, and more. These services are available by appointment.

Psychiatric Services

Psychiatric Services is committed to caring for the mental health needs of Temple University students, by providing psychiatric evaluations, medication consultations, and short-term individual psychotherapy. The psychiatrist also responds to referrals from other UCS units and serves as a liaison to the Health Sciences Center. Students are seen by appointment, except in emergency situations where immediate care is required.

CASA (Campus Alcohol and Susbstance Awareness)

The Campus Alcohol and Susbstance Awareness (CASA) is a comprehensive program focusing on all aspects of alcohol and other drug use and abuse. The CASA program is staffed by certified addictions counselors who work with students individually and in groups. CASA also sponsors a group of trained peer educators who offer workshops and other educational activities. These workshops emphasize positive decision-making and alternatives to alcohol and other drug use. Several anonymous recovery groups including AA, NA, OA, and ACOA meet regularly on Temple's campus. 

SACE (Sexual Assault Counseling and Education)

Recognizing that college students are often at risk for sexual assault, harassment, and other forms of interpersonal violence, the SACE program plays a pivotal role in changing attitudes and myths about violence through education and workshops within the University community. In addition, the program provides resources for workshops, participation in curriculum development, and coordination of services for survivors of assault. The SACE staff provides crisis intervention, survivor advocacy, individual therapy and groups for survivors of assault, child sexual abuse, domestic violence and sexual harassment. SACE also utilizes peer educators who provide student support and training throughout the year. All services are confidential. 

Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. The staff also provides onsite services at the Ambler and Tyler campuses. Students are seen by appointment except in emergency situations when immediate care is required. Services are free and confidential for all registered students.

http://www.temple.edu/studhealth/

Student Health Services strives to promote a high standard of health among Temple University students through programs in preventive medicine and health education, in addition to diagnosis and treatment of basic injury and illness. Services offered at the Main, Ambler, Tyler, and Health Sciences Center campuses include nurse, nurse practitioner and physician care, an immunization/allergy injection clinic, family planning services, health education, and a self-care cold center. Other services offered at Main Campus include dermatology consultation and HIV testing. 

Student Health Fee

Students are charged a fee each semester during the academic year to help subsidize the basic diagnostic and treatment services provided by health care providers at all four campus locations. There are charges for services not covered by the Student Health fee such as dispensed medications, orthopedic supplies, and immunizations. Laboratory testing is a specialized service offered only at Main Campus. 

Student Health Insurance

Because the Student Health Fee is not an insurance premium, all students are strongly encouraged to carry health insurance. The costs of prescription medicines, specialized medical care, hospital and outpatient treatment, including emergency room services or diagnostic testing, whether provided by Temple University Hospital or another facility, are not covered by the Student Health Fee. Students not covered by health insurance are directly responsible for payment of their bills. Students with limited health insurance coverage are responsible for the portion of their bills not covered by their plan. Hospital insurance is mandatory for international students throughout their stay at the University. 

Students may obtain information and applications for Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans offered through Temple by contacting the Personnel Services Benefits Office, Room 201, University Services Building, (215) 204-1321. 

Immunizations

Entering students are required to submit proof of two measles immunizations, or laboratory proof of measles immunity. It is recommended that college students receive adequate immunization against mumps, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, chickenpox, hepatitis B and meningococcal disease. Students may receive these vaccines from their family physician, or from Student Health Services. There is a charge for each vaccine administered.

Office of University Housing

At Temple University, residence halls at the Main, Ambler, and Tyler School of Art campuses provide an opportunity for students to extend their learning experiences beyond the classroom, library, and laboratory. The Office of University Housing attempts to create group living environments in which each student is offered an opportunity to develop as an individual in an atmosphere which encourages emotional, social, and intellectual development. Additionally, the Office of University Housing is committed to creating community living environments which value and promote an appreciation for diversity of cultures, lifestyles, and people. See the Campuses.

The total program encompasses seven major components:  informal recreation, intramurals, sport clubs, group fitness, aquatics, special  events, and adapted recreation. Activities range from structured, competitive  leagues to self-directed fitness avenues. 

In the Spring of 1998, the brand new Independence Blue Cross Student  Recreation Center opened its doors with the student in mind. The 59,000 square foot facility provides participants with a first-class environment for fitness conditioning, aerobics, martial arts, racquetball, indoor jogging, and special  events. In May of 1999, the Student Pavilion opened, providing indoor court  space for basketball, volleyball, badminton and tennis. For a brief view of the  department components and facility areas, visit our Website at  http://www.temple.edu/recsvcs/

Office of Affirmative Action

A student or employee who thinks he or she is being discriminated against because of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or marital status should contact this office. It is this office's responsibility to help the student file a complaint through the appropriate grievance procedures and attempt to remedy any affirmative action problem it discovers in the course of an investigation. Complaints of sexual harassment may also be reported here. 

Grievance Procedures

Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 requires that each college or university establish due process for the resolution of academic grievances. This act also requires procedures for grievances brought by students concerning non-academic matters which are not covered by the academic grievance procedures. 

Undergraduate students enrolled at Temple University have the right to appeal any academic matter in which they feel that they have been treated unfairly. The commencement of a formal grievance is most serious in nature and should take place only after all informal methods of adjudication have taken place. 

For further information on academic grievance procedures, students should contact the Office of the Dean of the college in which they are enrolled. See Academic Policies and Regulations. Further information on non-academic grievances is available from the Office of the Student Affairs Ombudsperson. 

Sexual Harassment

Temple University is committed to providing a learning, working, and teaching environment that emphasizes the dignity and worth of every member of its community, free from discriminatory conduct. Sexual harassment in any form or context is inimical to this and will not be tolerated. Sexual harassment subverts the mission and the work of the University, and can threaten the career, educational experience, and well-being of students, faculty, and staff. 

The University recognizes that sexual harassment may occur regardless of the formal position or status of each person involved. Sexual harassment is especially offensive, however, when it occurs in relationships between teacher and student or between supervisor and subordinate. In those situations, sexual harassment exploits unfairly the power inherent in the position of the faculty member or supervisor. 

Sexual harassment also constitutes a form of sex discrimination which is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Elementary/Secondary Education Act of 1972, and state law. In addition to any sanctions that may be imposed by the University for violation of this policy, a person who sexually harasses another person may be held personally liable to the victim and be subject to sanctions independent of those imposed by the University. 

Persons who feel they have been the victim of sexual harassment may make an informal complaint to any Sexual Harassment Ombudsperson listed: 

• Health Sciences Center - Sarah Banks (215) 707-0220
• Center City Campus - Denise Berardi (215) 204-4358
• Ambler Campus - Wanda Lewis-Campbell (215) 283-1424
• Tyler School of Art - Deborah Martin (215) 782-2883
• Main Campus -  Juanita Lavalais (215) 204-7925, Mary Middlebrook (215) 204-7747, Kathleen Richards (215) 204-9625, Michael Silverstein (215) 204-3115 

For the names of the Sexual Harassment Ombudspersons designated in a specific school or college, contact the Dean's Office. 

Students, faculty, and staff may bring a formal administrative complaint of sexual harassment by filing a written complaint directly with the University's Office of Affirmative Action and are not required to utilize informal resolution procedures before filing a formal complaint.

We provide safety and security from many angles that include and exceed the following: vehicle patrol, foot patrol, bike patrol and service at the Center Station (1900 Berks Mall). Every member of the Temple community has easy access to the police.

Security officers are stationed in residence hall, offices and buildings on all campuses. All Campus Police and Security Officers receive sensitivity training in dealing with a diverse campus community. Our department believes in partnership -- especially with the students who attend the university. Students Service Representatives are employed by the department and work in many buildings on campus. They assist administrators, faculty, staff, fellow students and visitors who enter and exit university buildings. Their friendly service and campus familiarity is a plus, in addition to the ability to work in a comfortable environment.

Our escort service is available from dusk to dawn, seven days a week to transport members of the Temple community safely from building to building between the Health Sciences Center and Main campus. Our commitment to the university and its surrounding communities involves more than patrolling to prevent crime. We orient, educate and serve through several different programs sponsored by our department. Some of our programs include: life-guard training and certification, work with the R.W. Brown Community Center, Operation ID, Crime Prevention Seminars, Student Orientations and the new Temple Police Hapkido Club. Our values are Prevention, Partnership and Pride.

http://www.temple.edu/alumni/

As the official alumni organization of Temple University, the General Alumni Association (GAA) is dedicated to strengthening the University and enhancing relationships between and among the University, the Association, and current and future alumni. Any former student with an earned Temple degree is a member of the GAA. Additionally, all alumni who have graduated in the past ten years are members of The Young Alumni Association (YAA).

The GAA hosts such events as Founder's Dinner and the Homecoming Tailgate Tent Party and awards program grants to noteworthy University causes, such as the construction of the Apollo and Tuttleman Learning Center. In 1998, the GAA will introduce the alumni-student mentor program, whereby current Temple students may be paired with Temple alumni for the purpose of career exploration.

Upon graduation, alumni are urged to keep the University informed of changes in address and to continue their association with Temple University through the many services of the GAA Office of Alumni Relations.
