Transient Study

Transient study refers to any approved enrollment option in which some or all classes are at another Florida public school.

Financial aid for transient study is limited to Florida Bright Futures, Pell Grant and federal loans. If you are not eligible for Bright Futures your USF Academic Advisor must confirm you meet one of the following conditions:

  • the course(s) are part of a partnership between USF and a state university/college; or
  • there are no seats available at USF for a course that is required to stay on track for graduation; or the course is not offered at USF and if not taken that semester, your graduation will be delayed.

Note: You are responsible for meeting all registration and fee payment deadlines upfront at the host school. The host school is not required to offer you a tuition deferment.
