Hey guys, I will be attending temple this fall, and just have one question about the academic calendar in general. I went to the temple dental website, and I was trying to get the schedule of school and break periods from freshman to senior, but I can't find any. Can any of you guys 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year students tell me when winter and spring breaks are, plus if there are any few weeks break for summer??? I seemed to me from the academic schedule that the program is very packed. Thanks for your response or answers. Greatly appreciated.
Only play time is after 1st year (July and August Off) then it's bend over and take it up the a** time. Don't worry about 2,3,4th year by then your relationships will crumble and you will forget your family. Sell the house, sell the car and give the kids away. See yah soon................SLIM

Finally, employees of the Temple University Health System will receive a separate memo from the Health System regarding their scheduled holidays.
The national observance of Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday will be on Monday, Jan. 16, 2006. Since the University does not generally observe federal holidays, including Columbus Day, Presidents Day, Veterans Day and Election Day, the national holiday observance of King's birthday will be a regular working day at the University.
Under the terms of their collective bargaining agreement, the members of the District 1199c bargaining unit, including secretarial-clerical staff, are entitled to a paid holiday for the national observance of Kings birthday on Jan. 16. Those who are required to work on Jan. 16 must be paid in accordance with their collective bargaining agreement. Other employees may request to take Jan. 16 as a vacation or personal day with the permission of their supervisor.
Members of the SEIU/BUE Local 612 bargaining unit will be governed by the terms of their collective bargaining agreement and will be entitled to a paid holiday on Friday, Jan. 13, 2006* in observance of Kings actual birthday.
If you have any questions regarding the observance of Kings birthday, contact Labor Relations at 204-1319.
Set forth below is additional information that outlines the University's policies on religious holidays which will occur throughout the year.
Although the official University calendar does not recognize religious holidays, it is important to respect the religious beliefs of faculty, students, and staff. We want to remind everyone that, on some days, some members of the Temple community exercise their constitutional rights and do not meet regular assignments for religious reasons.
If an instructor wishes to reschedule a class session because of a religious holiday, the rescheduling should be consistent with policies of the school or college and should follow consultation with the students. An instructor who cannot attend a scheduled class session should find a suitable replacement for that session, consistent with school or college policies.
Faculty members who conduct classes on religious holidays should respect the convictions of their students. The scheduling of major presentations or examinations should respect students religious beliefs and conscience.
Staff members may request use of personal or vacation days for religious holidays, with the approval of their supervisors.
We thank you for your attention and sensitivity to these matters.
* Since the actual holiday falls on a weekend, the University will observe the Holiday on this date.
