Fly in 4 is Temple’s innovative way of getting your student’s future on the fast track. The Fly in 4 partnership guarantees that your student can complete their degree on time — or Temple will pay for their remaining coursework. Like most partnerships, both sides have to do their parts for it to work. For its part, Temple provides your student with the resources they need to graduate in four years, like academic advising and classes offered when they need them. The best part? There is no penalty if they opt out of the agreement or if they take longer than four years to graduate.
How does Fly in 4 work? To pay for their education, some Temple students (particularly those from middleand low-income backgrounds) work a number of hours each week at off-campus jobs, which prevents them from graduating on time and adds to the debt they acquire for living expenses. To help remedy that situation, Fly in 4 will provide $4,000 annual grants to 500 students with demonstrated need in each incoming class, so those students can focus less on working and more on finishing their degrees.

Under Fly in 4, Temple will also provide all incoming first-year students with the tools and incentives to graduate on time, including academic plans and advising that keep them on track and classes that are offered when students need them. If students fulfill all of the responsibilities of the plan but still can’t graduate on time, Temple will pay for any remaining coursework.
What are my student’s responsibilities under the plan? Students are required to consult with an academic advisor each semester; register during early registration; advance annually in class standing; and complete a graduation review at or prior to completing 90 credits. Students must sign and submit the Fly in 4 partnership agreement in TUportal during the add/drop period in their first semester at Temple to be eligible.
