Admission Information

Transfer Admission Dates and Deadlines

Admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis as applications are completed and all supporting documents are received.

Here is a good rule of thumb on when to apply as a transfer student:

• If you are currently enrolled at another college or university: apply no more than 90 days before your final grades will be posted for the current semester. (e.g., if your final semester grades will be posted on June 1, apply after March 1 for transfer admission to USF.)
• If you are not currently enrolled at another college or university: apply as soon as you are ready with all required documents needed for an admissions decision.
