You may apply to USF as early as July of your senior year in high school. Admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis beginning mid-November. Applications are considered for the spring, summer and fall semesters.

First-year students who submit a complete application and all required application materials by Dec. 1 will have the best chance of admission. Applying after Dec. 1 may limit your choice of campus or semester start date.
