International Student Application Information

We are pleased that you are considering joining our community as an international student.  USF St. Petersburg is a rapidly growing university located on a beautiful stretch of land bordering Tampa Bay.  If you earn a degree from USF St. Petersburg, you can be confident that the world will recognize your degree -- all of our degree programs are regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS); our business degrees are accredited by AACSB; our education degrees are accredited by NCATE; and our journalism degrees are accredited by AEJMC.

Of course, the first step is to apply.  You should apply as an international student if you are not a citizen of the US, and if you are not a green card holder (permanent resident).

You may apply up to one year in advance.  We welcome early applications because the sooner you apply, the sooner you will receive a decision, and the smoother you will find your transition into life at USF St. Petersburg.

How to Apply

You can apply today by following one of the links below. Please be sure to select USF St. Petersburg as your home university. If you want to use the paper application, please make sure you disable your pop-up blocker.

 

Effective immediately, the University of South Florida will no longer accept freshman applications for admission in the Spring semester to either its Tampa campus or USF St. Petersburg.   NOTE: if you decide to enroll elsewhere and apply to transfer to USF at a later date, USF now requires a minimum of 36 transferable credit hours with a transfer GPA of 3.0 or better for transfer admission at the lower division.
