Venue description

The College of Education is ideally situated in the heart of North Philadelphia with city schools, student and teacher populations at doorstep. The prominent location brings us all the resources and challenges of a large, diverse and lively urban center. By pursuing the mission, to empower children and their communities through education, it serves the surrounding neighborhoods, the city of Philadelphia, schools and school districts across the region and the nation. The College of Education is the fifth largest college within Temple University. At present, the College enrolls over 1800 undergraduate and 650 graduate students for a total enrollment, including non-matriculating students, of over 2800. Undergraduate majors primarily prepare to become teachers, although some expect to fill other roles in educational settings. Graduate programs at the master’s and doctoral levels prepare students for teaching and also for careers as school administrators, counselors, school psychologists, researchers, policy makers and professors of education.

Accommodation details

When admitted to the University, students interested in University housing are required to pay a housing deposit. Upon receipt of the deposit, students are sent a housing license that must be completed and returned to University Housing and Residential Life immediately. Requests for specific accessible housing and medically-related accommodations should be made on the license agreement. Students who require housing accommodations should present their written requests as early as possible. If uncertain of particular housing needs, ask professional staff members at DRS and University Housing and Residential Life. Each year, students are required to reapply for University Housing. Students with documented disabilities and other medical needs are offered priority consideration if their condition continues to warrant housing accommodation. Documentation must: be prepared and signed by an objective, qualified professional in the appropriate field of concern who is not a family member; contain the name and license number of that professional; describe current function; be typed on letterhead with callback telephone number; clearly state diagnosis and examples of “substantial limitation of function”; describe the functional limitations that would necessitate special housing accommodations; include suggested housing accommodations; be supported by complete relevant medical history; if appropriate, include the names and scores of testing assessments used to make specific determinations. Requests and documentation should be addressed to Assistant Director, Disability Resources and Services, 100 Ritter Annex, 1301 C. B. Moore Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19122.
