Non-Degree Admission
Non-Degree Admission
Enrolling as a non-degree seeking student at USF allows you to take courses for enrichment, certification, degree completion, or to meet pre-admission requirements for entry into graduate degree programs. Non-degree students at USF may request to have earned credit transferred into a degree program at USF, per program approval. Students interested in this option should contact their desired degree-seeking program of study directly for guidance.
For the optimal enrollment experience, your Non-Degree application must be received three weeks before the start of the term. The Non-Degree incoming student application deadlines are as follows:
| Summer A & C 2024 | April 22, 2024 |
| Summer B 2024 | June 3, 2024 |
| Fall 2024 | July 29, 2024 |
Applications received after the deadline are automatically processed for the next academic term. All students must have completed registration by 5 p.m. the first week of the term.
