Honors Admissions

Honors Admissions

Prospective students can join the Judy Genshaft Honors College through one of three different admission processes: First Time in College (FTIC), Transfer, or Current USF Student.

FIRST TIME IN COLLEGE (FTIC) ADMISSION

First Time in College (FTIC) admission is for high school seniors actively applying for general admission to the University of South Florida. It operates independently from the general university admissions process. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Honors FTIC admission process in August of their senior year in high school, as both USF and Judy Genshaft Honors College enrollment typically commence in the Fall semester. 
 
To be eligible for the Judy Genshaft Honors College, students must first apply to the University of South Florida. Then, they must also submit an Honors FTIC application. If admitted to the Judy Genshaft Honors College, students must then confirm their spot in the college. 

APPLY AS FTIC

TRANSFER ADMISSION

Transfer admission is for students who have already graduated from high school and are currently attending another college or university. The Honors admissions process for transfers is separate from the general university admissions process. Because transfer students may enter USF during the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters, our transfer application cycle opens periodically throughout the year.

APPLY AS TRANSFER

CURRENT USF STUDENT ADMISSION

Current USF student admission is for students currently enrolled at USF who did not enter the Judy Genshaft Honors College when they initially enrolled. To best align the Honors curriculum with a current student's academic progression, these applications are typically limited to first-year students. Application for current USF students typically opens in February for entry into the college in the Fall semester of a students second year.

All current USF students interested in joining the Judy Genshaft Honors College must submit a current USF Student application.
