As a new PhD student, you need to complete some tasks

...

Check your student status

It is important that you check your student status before you register, so that registration for your courses will go smoothly.

 

Expand
titleResidency

Read your acceptance letter from the Graduate Admissions Office.  Is your residency status correct?  If incorrect contact (813) 974-8800, before registering (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/admissions/).  If you wish to establish Florida residency, please go to http://www.registrar.usf.edu/Residency/General_Procedures.php for more information. Note that documents supporting the establishment of legal residence must be dated, issued, or filed 12 months before the first day of classes for the term for which reclassification is sought.

titleAcademic Common Market

Academic Common Market - (this is not a USF webpage). The Academic Common Market (ACM) is a tuition-savings program for full-time college students in the 16 Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) member states who want to pursue degrees in fields that are not offered by their in-state institutions. If you are an ACM student, you must be enrolled in a minimum of 9 credits per Fall/Spring and 6 credits in Summer in order to receive in-state tuition; otherwise you will have to pay out-of-state tuition and will lose your ACM residency status.

Students in this program must be a resident of the SREB member state and be admitted unconditionally into an out-of-state degree program that is listed in the Academic Common Market inventory. For a list of participating SREB member states and to view the ACM inventory, click here. Even though it is not listed, the DrPH is an approved program, but it may not be approved by all states in the agreement. We do know that Georgia has approved this, but you will have to check on your own state.

NOTE: Students must obtain a certificate from SREB and present it to Admissions for processing (fvera@usf.edu). If you do not enroll full-time and lose your ACM residency status, you can present your certificate again in any semester in which you intend to enroll full-time.
