Application Information

Students can apply to USF via the Common App or through our institutional application. Our applications open each year at the beginning of August. As you work with your students, ensure they have everything they need to fill out the application and use Slate.org to help track their applications.

Admissions Decisions

Receiving an admissions decision can be exciting, but some aspects also get confusing. We offer resources that break down our decisions, what they mean, and what students can do if they are denied admission.

Financial Aid Information

We know financial aid can get confusing quickly. Use these links to guide you as you help your students navigate the FAFSA, finding scholarships, and more.

Housing, Residency, and More

Other parts of the college admissions process get complex, too. From housing to 91社区 residency and beyond, we are here to assist you!
