Per USF Policy 33-002, it is mandatory for USF students to submit all required immunization documentation and sign the official Medical History Form prior to course registration. A hold preventing registration in hybrid and in-person classes will remain on your account until you have fulfilled the following requirements. This hold will not restrict registration in fully online classes. Therefore, it is recommended you register for your online classes as soon as possible and, if applicable, go back and register for any hybrid or in-person classes you have once the IM hold is removed. Please Note: this is a USF requirement to be completed through Student Health Services before you can register for classes. This process is separate from the College of Nursing's CastleBranch requirements. For questions on this process, please contact Student Health Services at 813-974-4056.

When you apply to the university, your initial residency classification is determined by the Office of Admissions based on information you provide with your application. If you don’t provide sufficient information to determine your residency, you will be classified as a non-Florida resident for tuition purposes. It’s very important to respond to requests for information about your residency as soon as possible. Please review your official acceptance letter to ensure that your residency classification is accurate. You have until the last day of classes in your first term to request a re-evaluation of your initial residency status (Links to an external site.) by providing sufficient documentation. If your residency status is listed as non-Florida at the time that classes begin, you will be assessed out-of-state tuition charges. Once you have completed your first term at USF, you can request a reclassification of your residency status from the Office of the Registrar. |

Need financial aid? Remember to submit your FAFSA before the January 1 priority deadline to be considered for the most types of aid possible. Many scholarships are needs-based and require a FAFSA. Therefore, it is recommended you complete a FAFSA regardless of whether or not you will be applying for loans. Tuition payment or a university deferment is due on the fifth day of the semester. Please ensure you have funds or a deferment in-place to prevent being canceled from classes for non-payment. Questions regarding Financial Aid can be directed to a Financial Aid counselor.
For assistance or questions regarding payment, please contact the Cashier's Office: https://www.usf.edu/business-finance/controller/student-services/cashiers/index.aspx |
