As a current Temple student, you can take advantage of the many benefits offered by the Temple University Alumni Association (TUAA) before you even don your cap and gown.

Founded in 1927, TUAA represents Temple University's 285,000 living alumni and offers current students and alumni a rich variety of options to supersize their relationship with Temple and plug into its global alumni network. You can meet and connect with alumni at an upcoming event or gain insider knowledge of your chosen profession with a career mentor. After graduation, your free lifetime membership to TUAA includes access to exclusive deals and offers on essential things like insurance and energy plans, as well as fun things like Liacouras Center events and amusement park tickets.

Stop by the Alumni Center in Sullivan Hall--the historic building dedicated by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1936--to learn more about how the TUAA can enhance your on-campus experience.

To stay connected to the university after graduation and share your major life updates, including job and address changes, call 215-204-7521, e-mail alumrel@temple.edu, visit alumni.temple.edu, or stop by the Alumni Center in Sullivan Hall, which is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Bookstore

There are five Temple University Bookstore locations. Each store stocks all required books and supplies for the campus it serves. Course materials may be purchased online for home delivery or pick-up in store. A student's booklist is accessible via a link on the Student Roster in Self-Service Banner. Select textbooks may also be rented instead of purchased. Please contact the store for more details. In order to maximize the number of used books available to students, the bookstore buys back from students books at the highest possible prices throughout the year. In addition to housing required course materials, all stores feature clothing, souvenirs, and giftware imprinted with the Temple name. Graduation rings can be ordered at any time. Academic regalia are available in the months preceding graduation.

The Main Campus store features the Book Corner, where non-required books, including best-sellers, Temple authors, literature, reference, and bargain books are available. Any book not on hand can be special ordered.

You will also find a large selection of magazines, snacks, soft drinks, greeting cards, gift-wrap, posters, and health and beauty aids.

During the first weeks of classes, store hours are extended at all locations. See signs posted at each location for specific hours during rush periods and semester breaks.

During the summer and semester breaks, store hours may vary. Visit the individual store web sites for more details.

The department services a diverse community, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The two divisions are Police Officers and Security Officers. The Campus Police division currently has 124 campus police officers who patrol our area campuses by foot, by bike and in patrol cars. They are police professionals who receive state-mandated training at an accredited police academy. The Security division officers work inside various buildings, checking IDs and assisting staff and visitors.

During the academic year, members of the Temple Community are free to use the OWLoop shuttle and TUr Door service on the Main Campus from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. All services are operated by Facilities Management and information is available on their web site at www.temple.edu/facilities/index.html.

Temple University has eight (8) surface parking areas and two (2) parking garages on the Main Campus. Parking areas are also available at Ambler and the Health Sciences campuses. Temple University Center City (TUCC) has negotiated parking discounts with nearby parking garages.

Debit card parking permits you to park in an assigned area when space is available. A hangtag/decal must be purchased, and it is valid for one academic year (September through August). In addition, a minimum of twenty-five (25) parking entries must be purchased on your debit card at a cost of $135 (fifty [50] parking entries when entering after 3:00 PM). The rates are subject to change in the fall. Your hangtag/decal and your current Temple ID card are the mechanisms that control your entrance into the parking area or garage. Parkers may conveniently purchase additional parking entries at the Office of Parking Services, located on the lower level of the Student Center.

Besides the fee for purchasing a hangtag/decal, there is no additional charge for daily parking at the Ambler Campus.

Note: Availability of areas is subject to change during summer and holidays and for a few special events. Having a parking hangtag/decal does not ensure space in a particular area.

Special parking is available for guaranteed access, students with disabilities, and motorcycles.

Inter/Intra Campus Bus Service:

Temple University offers the free OWLoop shuttle service around the Main Campus. In the evenings during the fall and spring semesters, students have the option of using the TUr Door service, which is free and operates from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., Monday through Sunday. A map of the OWLoop bus route and the TUr Door service area can be found at www.temple.edu/facilities/pdf/owlloop.pdf.

Temple University also provides a free shuttle bus service to and from the Main, Ambler, and Health Science campuses during the fall and spring semesters. In addition, there is free shuttle bus service on a regular schedule between the Ambler SEPTA station and the Ambler Campus during the fall and spring semesters. Please check the Office of Facilities Management web site at www.temple.edu/facilities/shuttles.html for a schedule of shuttle services. Information on these schedules may also be obtained at the Office of Parking Services or Campus Safety. (Note; There is no bus service in the summer from the Ambler Campus.)
