Welcome to TUJ Undergraduate!

By becoming a TUJ student, you are joining a student body of 3,319 undergraduate students and a worldwide alumni network. You will also become a part of the larger Temple University community, with campuses in Philadelphia, Rome, and around the globe.

Our undergraduate programs at TUJ includes:

  • Japan Admitted (JA) students
    Students directly admitted to the Temple system at TUJ with many seeking a degree from Temple University and intending to graduate from the Japan Campus. Bridge Program JAs, conditionally admitted students developing academic English skills and eligible to take limited undergraduate coursework, are also included.
  • Study Abroad (SA) students
    Students from the Temple University Main Campus or other US universities who stay at TUJ for one or two semesters through an exchange program. For more information on becoming an SA student studying at TUJ, visit the Education Abroad website at Temple University Main Campus. 
  • Temple Japan Entry Year (TJEY) students
    Students who have directly applied and been accepted to Temple University Main Campus and take advantage of our international presence by spending their first year at our Japan Campus. For more information on becoming a TJEY student, visit the Temple Japan Entry Year website.

Once you are accepted to TUJ as a JA student, your primary point of contact will be the Office of Student Services and Engagement (OSSE). You will receive contact information and steps to complete your transition to TUJ shortly after your acceptance.

1. Pay the ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT

Newly-admitted students are required to make a non-refundable ¥20,000 Enrollment Deposit to secure a place at TUJ and access new student orientation. This deposit will be credited towards tuition for students who enroll in courses. This deposit will be forfeited if a student's admission is cancelled. Students can complete the enrollment deposit via their TUJ Application Portal .

Enrollment Deposit Deadlines
Starting Semester First Deadline Final Deadline
Fall May 1 August 8
Spring October 1 December 15

  • If admitted at least two weeks before the First Deadline, pay the enrollment deposit by the First Deadline.
  • If admitted after this, pay within one month of admission.
  • If admitted less than one month before the Final Deadline, pay by the Final Deadline.

Students should check their acceptance letter in their TUJ Application Portal for details. If the enrollment deposit is not confirmed by the Final Deadline, admission will be canceled.

2. Activate your TUPORTAL and TUMAIL

Within a day of processing the enrollment deposit, students should receive their Accessnet login information and TUID number to activate TUportal in an email. 

If there are any issues, contact tujhelp@tuj.temple.edu with your full name and student ID.

3. Wait for more information about ARRIVAL AND ORIENTATION

New Student Orientation will take place online. In the interest of fairness to all students, it is university policy to not offer advising on transfer credits or academic plans before Orientation.
