Supporting your Transition
As you navigate your USF experience during this uncertain time, the New Student Connections and Parent & Family Engagement team is here to provide care and support. Staring May 24, 2021, staff will return to the office (M-F, 8am-5pm) on a limited basis. Based on university guidelines, some of our operations will continue in a remote environment. Regardless, our team is available to answer your questions, connect you to valuable resources, and provide individualized support in navigating this new transition.
