Student OWLcard Distribution


The new OWLcard will replace the current Temple ID card. Cards will be issued for students who were registered for Spring 2005 semester, but not, however, for students graduating in May 2005. Students will be able to pick up their new cards on campus starting on June 15, 2005. A large distribution event is also planned for the first week of the Fall 2005 Semester.

Please review the information below for specific distribution dates and times and also for details on Professional School card distribution (Law, Medicine, & Podiatry).

Professional Schools
All Professional Schools will receive OWLcards on approximately June 15, 2005. Each school will distribute the cards according to their own timetable, but no later than September 15, 2005. Students will be notified of specific distribution locations via e-mail.

All schools will require that students swipe their card through a card reader to acknowledge receipt. Cards not distributed by September 15, 2005 will be returned to the Diamond Dollars Office on Main Campus.
