Bookstore

There are three Temple University Bookstore locations. Each store stocks the required books and supplies for the campus it serves. Course materials may be purchased through the bookstore's web site for home delivery or pick-up in store. A student's booklist is accessible via a link on the Student Roster in Self-Service Banner. The majority of textbooks may also be rented instead of purchased. Price Matching to various on-line retailers is also available. Please contact the store for more details. In order to maximize the number of used books available to students, the bookstore buys back from students books at the highest possible prices throughout the year. In addition to housing required course materials, all stores feature clothing, souvenirs, and giftware imprinted with the Temple name. Graduation rings can be ordered at any time. Academic regalia are available in the months preceding graduation.

You will also find a large selection of snacks, soft drinks, greeting cards, gift-wrap, posters, and health and beauty items.

During the first weeks of classes, store hours are extended at all locations. See signs posted at each location for specific hours during rush periods and semester breaks.

During the summer and semester breaks, store hours may vary. Visit the bookstore web site for more details.

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.

Semester Parking is available for students who park frequently and/or need overnight parking.
Commuter Parking is best for students who need daily parking but do not need overnight access. These permits provide access to one assigned facility Monday–Friday 7:00 AM to 10:45 PM and are $260 per semester. We also offer 7-day commuter permits, which provide weekend parking with the same time constraints and are $300. Commuters can park in the Diamond Street Lot, Norris Street Lot, Temple Towers Lot, Bell Garage, Liacouras Garage or Montgomery Garage on Main Campus, or the Battersby Lot at the Health Sciences Center.

Overnight Parking is available for students who need 24/7 parking access. These permits are $420 per semester and are assigned to the Tyler Lot, Temple Towers Lot, Bell Garage, Liacouras Garage, or Montgomery Garage on Main Campus, or the Carlisle West Garage at the Health Sciences Center.

Flex parking is available for students who park infrequently.
Flex Parking is our pay-per-entrance option, best for students who come to campus no more than twice a week. These parkers are assigned to either the 15th Street Lot, Norris Street Lot, the Liacouras Garage, or the Montgomery Garage. Flex parkers pay $11 per entry, which is automatically deducted from their TU Parking Account when they swipe or tap their Temple OWLcard or use the mobile OWLcard. Funds must be added to the parking account prior to use. Attempting to park without sufficient funds on the parking account will result in the assessment of the daily rate. Funds can be managed on the TU Parking Account site.

Please note: Flex parkers must renew their parking semiannually in July and January. Parking Services will notify students prior to expiration.

Ambler Campus parkers must purchase a permit.
Ambler students have the option to pay $90 for the entire academic year (September through August) or $60 per semester. Students with semester parking at Main or HSC campuses receive complimentary parking at Ambler campus. However, students with only Ambler permits will need to register for Flex parking if they need to park at Main or HSC campuses occasionally.

Parking Guidelines
Your parking permit and Temple OWLcard (or mobile OWLcard) are the mechanisms that control access to your assigned parking area. Failure to display your permit may result in a citation. Availability of areas and parking assignments are subject to change during summer, holidays, inclement weather, and some special events.

You can sign up for parking by visiting the TU Parking Account.

Visitor Parking
Visitors to Main Campus have hourly parking options in the Montgomery Garage or the Cecil B. Moore Lot for $5 per hour, or the Tuttleman Lot for $6 per hour. Additionally, daily parking is available in the Liacouras Garage and 15th Street Lot.

We pride ourselves in providing affordable, convenient, and secure parking to the Temple community, and look forward to having you as a customer!

All parking rates are subject to change. Parking Services reserves the right to close facilities due to underutilization and reassign parkers as needed.

Shuttles transport students, faculty and staff members within Temple University's Main Campus patrol zone (via Flight) and among Main Campus, the Health Sciences Center (HSC) Campus, and Ambler Campus.

Flight is Temple's nighttime fixed-route shuttle loop service. Flight-branded shuttles circulate throughout the areas within and surrounding the Main Campus patrol zone, and pick up and drop off students, faculty and staff members at each of its over 40 stops. The shuttles arrive approximately every 15 minutes at each stop. Shuttles operate 7 days per week from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. from August 20, 2022 through the end of the spring semester. The service continues to operate in a modified form during university breaks.

Temple University also provides daily shuttle transit services to and from Ambler Campus, Health Sciences Center and Main Campus during the fall and spring semesters, but there is no service during the fall break, winter break, spring break or during the summer. The service is offered at no charge to all students, faculty and staff of the University with a valid Temple ID. All scheduled departures, in addition to the Main and Ambler Campuses, stop at the Health Sciences Center on Broad Street. Please check the Shuttle Services web page for a schedule of shuttle services for each route. Information on these schedules may also be obtained at the Office of Parking Services or Campus Safety Services.
