Circle of Support: Removing Barriers to Student Success
Temple College has resources to support you beyond academic support. The Circle of Support program is a partnership between Temple College and the Temple community to ensure no student drops out of college because of barriers such as emergency expenses, childcare, transportation, housing and food. If you need referrals for assistance with non-academic issues can stop by the Circle of Support Resource Center in Room 803 of the Arnold Student Union, call the director at 243-298-8767, or email the director at circleofsupport@templejc.edu .
