Returning to Campus | University of South Florida

We are so excited to welcome you back! Whether you’re a student, faculty or employee on campus, we are ready to be together, in person, again. This past year has been unlike any other, and at the University of South Florida, in the Tampa Bay region, and in Bulls Country beyond, we’ve learned how truly resilient and strong we are—and that together, we can accomplish anything. 

This webpage is meant to help you transition and find the resources you need to prepare for the months ahead. It’s a work in progress, so come back, take a look around—bookmark it! Thank you for your ongoing compassion for our community as we navigate our safe return together. 

To help us provide high-quality classes, student services, extracurricular activities, and athletic programs in a healthy environment, we strongly recommend that everyone that is eligible get vaccinated before arriving on campus. We also encourage everyone wear a mask indoors, especially those who are not vaccinated.

Since the onset of the pandemic, our successes are a result of our campus communities accepting a shared responsibility for their health and well-being and practicing recommended precautions. Being vaccinated can protect your health and others and will help avoid disruptions. Thank you for doing your part to help our campus communities prepare for a healthy semester.
