Access to Student Records: FERPA & Proxy Access

As required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, Temple University cannot disclose a student’s non-directory education records without the student’s written consent or without proof that the student is the tax dependent of the parent. Examples of educational records include grades, course schedules, disciplinary actions, and financial records.

We encourage you to have an open and honest conversation with your student about FERPA to gain a mutual understanding of the expectations you have of each other regarding your access to their educational records. Once a mutual understanding has been reached, your student can complete a FERPA Waiver and Proxy Access form in their TUportal.

Accessing Records

FERPA Waiver

A student must designate a parent or family member as a FERPA-waived contact for a University official to disclose academic information. To designate a FERPA-waived contact, your student should follow these steps:

1. Log into TUportal .

2. Click on the Student Tools tab.

3. In the Records Channel, click on FERPA Waiver Menu.

4. Click on FERPA Contacts to add or remove a contact.

Proxy Access

Note: Students have the authority to make changes to FERPA Waiver and Proxy Access permissions at any time.

Login to TUportal to edit FERPA Permissions.

A student can grant others permission to access certain components of their information in their TUportal. This is called granting Proxy Access, by creating an additional login for a proxy. Students can set up multiple proxies, granting each different access depending upon who they are. A valid e-mail address of the proxy is required for access. To grant someone Proxy Access, your student should follow these steps:

1. Log in to TUportal using your AccessNet username and password.

2. Click on Self-Service Banner link under TUAPPLICATIONS.

3. Click on Student menu tab.

4. Click on FERPA Waivers menu item and then select Proxy Access.

5. Click on Add Proxy.

STUDENTS LIVE BET TER FOR LESS

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. If your student follows all of the program's requirements and is unable to graduate in four years due to the unavailability of required courses, Temple will pay for the remaining coursework. Like most partnerships, both sides have to do their part 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. For their part, students need to meet with their advisor regularly, register early for future semesters and advance in class standing.

The best part? There's 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 middle- and low-income backgrounds) work a number of hours each week at off-campus jobs, which may impact

their ability to graduate on time. To support students, Fly in 4 also provides $4,000 annual grants to 500 students with significant 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 provides 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.

GenEd

�� (215) 204-2044

✉ gened@ temple.edu

The GenEd office oversees the signature curriculum for Temple undergraduate students.

What are GenEds?

Every Temple undergraduate student's education includes completion of the General Education curriculum, with over 200 courses to choose from. While majors and minors provide students a depth of knowledge in a specific field, the General Education curriculum provides students with the breadth of knowledge to make the major(s) and minor(s) work for them in a dynamic, constantly evolving world. The skills and goals built into GenEd classes describe habits of mind that are important not only in an academic context but are also sought after by employers and central to civic participation. Every Temple undergraduate student must complete GenEd area requirements by choosing and taking GenEd courses at Temple or transferring in credits.

�� undergradstudies.temple.edu / about/gened

Why do Temple students have to take GenEds?

Exploration, critical and interdisciplinary thinking, skill development, and breadth of knowledge are fundamental traits of the GenEd curriculum and an intrinsic part of a Temple undergraduate’s pathway to graduation. The competencies and areas built into your student's GenEd classes develop well-rounded, flexible, problem solving individuals with habits of mind that are important not only in an academic context but are also sought after by employers and central to their civic participation.

How do students find GenEds?

Students can browse a list of GenEd courses that fulfill each area in the Temple bulletin (bulletin.temple.edu /undergraduate/ general-education/#GenEd_Courses). Your student can also go to "Plan Your Schedule" or "Browse the Schedule" in TUportal and use the Attribute filter to find a GenEd area, and then use keywords to search for topics that interest them.

The Good Neighbor Initiative educates students about how to contribute positively to the North Central Philadelphia community.

It is important that students understand the history of the neighborhoods around campus and act in ways that develop positive relationships between themselves and their neighbors, both long-term residents, and fellow students.

How

does Good

Neighbor help students?

We provide students with useful information about being members of the community. This includes tips about city resources and notable locations, ways to connect with neighbors, and how to respectfully move into/out of their apartments.

What do you recommend I do to help prepare my student for living off campus for the first time?

Temple has an Off-Campus Living office and website with additional guidance for students looking for housing in the community surrounding campus. In addition, consider the things that you do to create and respect the community in which you live. What are some of those things that students may not be aware of you doing? Simple examples include introducing yourself to your next-door neighbor, following rules about trash and recycling, or being respectful with noise. Small acts can go a long way in developing a community. Make sure that your student understands these things.

If no particular configuration is needed, see the Shopper’s Guide section on suggested minimum recommendations. The guide also has information on hardware and software discounts, and where to shop for technology.

Temple students also have access to Microsoft 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud at no additional charge.

Are there computers on campus that my student can use?

There are a number of computer labs on Main Campus, as well as at Temple’s other campuses, such as the Health Sciences Center (HSC) TECH Center. Most labs feature workstations with

general and specialized software, printing for lab workstations, and wireless devices where students can take advantage of their print quota.

Students can also borrow a laptop from our Laptop Share kiosks for up to four hours and return it to any kiosk around campus.

Can

my

student get tech support on campus?

We offer tech support to Temple students at no additional cost through the Technology Support Center (TSC) (its.temple.edu/techhelp). The TSC provides a wide range of technology, application, and university support and offers extensive hours throughout the year to assist students by phone, email, chat, and walk-in services.

Office of Parking Services

Temple University has a variety of parking options at its Main, Health Sciences Center, and Ambler campuses. For its Center City campus, Temple has negotiated parking discounts with nearby garages. We pride ourselves on providing affordable, convenient, and secure parking to the Temple community, and look forward to helping your student park with ease.

First-Year Student Parking

First-year students, or freshmen, are welcome to bring their cars with them to campus and can park in whatever facility fits their needs.

Purchasing a Parking Permit

Students can sign up for parking on the TU Parking Account system. You can log in using your student’s Accessnet username and password and pay using a credit or debit card. If you are assigned to the Liacouras Garage the permit will be sent over to the guards booth within 48 hours. If you are assigned to any other parking facility on Main Campus you may pick it up from the Montgomery Garage Office.

Does my student receive an assigned parking spot?

No, students are not assigned a specific space in their assigned parking lot/garage and may park in any available space that does not have signage restricting certain vehicles (examples: Reserved, Accessible, etc.). However, your student must park in their assigned parking lot or garage, since their permit is only valid for one facility.

Temple Ambler Campus

Unique educational experiences have been the cornerstone of Temple University Ambler for more than 100 years.

Ambler Campus, just a free inter-campus bus ride away from Main Campus, provides everything Temple students need to succeed with a full-service library, technology center, fitness center, outdoor pool, greenhouse education and research complex, auditorium, and much more.

A designated arboretum, the campus serves as a living laboratory and resource that allows all Temple students and faculty to engage in hands-on research in their courses of study. Students can also take a deeper dive into research and experiential education that span multiple disciplines with the Temple Ambler Field Station, the Infant and Child Lab, or numerous Engineering capstone programs in the campus Research & Collaboration Building.

Temple Ambler also provides the foundation to begin almost any Temple degree at a small, suburban campus. Any Temple student can take courses, certificates and various degree programs on campus. But Temple Ambler goes well beyond that — it is 187 acres of innovative opportunity, small class sizes and personal attention.

The university community can team-build and create new connections at Temple Ambler’s Low Ropes Challenge Course. Students can also take on other challenges in the campus’ dedicated Esports Center or join student organizations that share a passion for sustainability and wellness.

Choose Less Stress

Our dining program was created with you in mind! Temple Culinary Services provides a range of delicious and healthy options with meal plans that nourish your campus experience.

What is a meal plan?

A meal plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more at Temple Culinary Services locations across main campus. Each meal plan includes meal swipes conveniently preloaded onto one’s OWLcard or mobile wallet.

Weekly meal plans provide a weekly allowance of meal swipes, resetting each Sunday at 12:01 a.m.

Block meal plans provide a bundle of meal swipes, which expire at the end of the semester.

Who is required to purchase a meal plan?

New students (first-year and transfer) with housing contracts on main campus are required to purchase a weekly meal plan with a minimum of 10 meals per week. If no meal plan is chosen, the Weekly 12 will be assigned by default for both the fall and spring semesters.

Returning and off-campus students are not required to purchase a meal plan but are encouraged to do so as a means of enriching their campus experience. Although we created the Weekly 5 and block meal plans with these groups in mind, any meal plan offered would be the perfect complement to the commuter experience.

What is a meal swipe?

Meal swipes are meals included in your meal plan, which can be used two ways:

1. to enjoy all-you-care-to-eat dining at Esposito Dining Center

2. as meal equivalency, a credit toward the purchase of à la carte food items at select retail locations (excluding coffee and convenience outlets).

Am I allowed to treat friends or family to a meal using my meal plan?

Although your meal swipes are just for you, you’re welcome to treat friends and family to a meal using credit or cash.

Special Diets

Temple Culinary Services provides an array of food options to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, dietary needs, and restrictions – including vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free, and kosher. Students seeking special dietary accommodations and/ or nutritional advice are encouraged to reach out to our on-site dietitian, Alexa Topakas, at topakas-alexa@aramark.com to schedule a consultation.

Temple University Bookstore

�� (215) 204-5578

The Temple University Bookstore has everything from textbooks, school supplies, and Temple apparel.

Textbooks are the third greatest expense for college students. The Bookstore strives to offer savings on all course materials.

How can my student order their books online and receive them?

Students may order textbooks directly through their TU Portal or by going to our website and entering their course schedule. The Bookstore can ship online orders directly to students for a nominal fee. Students may also pick up in-store for no charge.

What buying options are available for textbooks?

Students may purchase textbooks new at full price or used for a reduced price. Some titles are also available to rent for a further reduced price. Renting a textbook allows students to use a textbook for the entire term (including during exams) for a reduced price. Students may highlight and write in rental books. This is advantageous for non-major-based courses or noncontinuation courses. Digital versions are also available for certain titles.

Do you price match?

Yes, we price match with Amazon and Barnes & Noble as long as the book is in stock and in the same condition. We do not price match with thirdparty vendors from these sites.

Acceso a los expedientes

escolares: FERPA y Acceso proxy

Segun exigido por FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 , Ley de Confidencialidad y Derechos de Educación de la familia de 1974), Temple University no puede divulgar los expedientes escolares de los estudiantes sin el consentimiento escrito del estudiante o sin pruebas de que el estudiante es un dependiente fiscal de los padres. Ejemplos de dichos expedientes escolares incluyen calificaciones, horarios de clases, acciones disciplinarias y registros financieros.

Los motivamos a tener conversaciones abiertas y honestas con sus estudiantes sobre FERPA para ponerse de acuerdo en las expectativas sobre el acceso que ustedes, como padres, tendrán a los expedientes escolares. Si su estudiante está de acuerdo en darles acceso a sus expedientes, su estudiante podrá llenar una exención de FERPA y la forma “Acceso proxy” en su TUportal .

Nota: Los estudiantes tienen la autoridad de hacer cambios en cualquier momento a la exención FERPA y a los permisos para Acceso proxy.

Inicie sesión en TUportal para editar los permisos FERPA.
