USF will waive out-of-state tuition and fees for a person who is an active duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States residing or stationed OUTSIDE of the state of Florida.

Note: ***If you are currently stationed INSIDE the state of Florida, you DO NOT need an Out-of-State Fee Waiver***

All active duty military personnel stationed INSIDE the state of Florida while enrolled at USF should email a copy of their active duty orders to either the USF Admissions office (if you are in your first semester) or the USF Office of the Registrar (if you have been a USF student longer than one semester). After processing, your residency status will be changed to "Florida Resident-Special Category" and you will no longer be charged out of state tution and fees by USF.
