Are there 3 ways to apply? TUPortal, Temple App and Common App

Are there 3 ways to apply - or only Temple App and Common App. The page describing says the easiest way is through the TU portal. But it goes on to say Temple App or Common app? Also, if you apply with the Common app my understanding is that they see your main essay and you don’t have to do the 250 word Temple essay? Is this correct? Lastly, do you send in your transcript OR do you self report through their portal?? Thank you

TU Portal is just where the Temple app is located. It’s Temple app or common app. The essay is as stated ion each application. You MUST self report, send transcripts only if accepted and enrolling.

Thank you @jnkam24
