USF will accept credits only from those institutions accredited by one of the accrediting agencies/commissions recognized by USF. However, USF reserves the right to deny credit for specific courses. The receipt and evaluation of total transfer credit are the responsibility of the Office of Admissions. The college of the student’s major will determine which courses are applicable toward a specific degree and will assign equivalent courses (see Evaluation of Transfer of Credit under Admissions and Related Matters).
USF subscribes fully to all of the provisions of the statewide Articulation Agreement (Rule 6A-10.024) and strongly recommends that students complete the associate of arts degree, or in certain prior-approved areas the associate of science degree, before transferring. Special details for students who do not plan to complete the associate degree requirements are available from the Office of Admissions. Also, all transfer students should refer to other entries about undergraduate transfers in the Admissions section of this catalog.

The Office of Admissions will determine the acceptability of transfer credits for continuing, degree-seeking students who take courses at regionally-accredited institutions. However, PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED from the college of the student’s major if these credits are to be applicable to the USF degree program. A properly-executed Transient Student Form or Cross Enrollment Form should be used for this purpose.

Some undergraduate students may find it advantageous to cross enroll at a Florida public community college while attending USF. To prevent problems with financial aid and other registration issues, see a USF college advisor for detailed instructions and course approval. Procedures to permit this type of registration are available during specified times printed in the University Schedule of Classes. Credit hours for the course(s) taken at the host institution will apply toward graduation only if prior approval was received from the student’s USF advisor. The grade point average will not transfer to USF.

USF degree-seeking students who wish to enroll at another regionally accredited institution MUST HAVE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL from their college academic advisor to receive credit for courses taken. The transient student/cross enrollment form should be used for this purpose. First term, first time in college freshmen are not eligible for USF awarded financial aid if granted transient student status.
