The Office of Admissions will evaluate the acceptability of transfer of credits taken at regionally-accredited institutions since last enrolled at USF. The college of the student's major will determine which courses are applicable for his/her major. In some instances, exact course equivalents will also be determined by other colleges which offer the same or similar course(s) as a part of their programs of study.

Effective Fall Semester, 1995, USF offers academic amnesty to undergraduate students who have been engaged in non-academic activities for at least five calendar years since last attending the University of South Florida or another regionally accredited four-year college or university.
Students must follow the regular application process through the Office of Admissions with a written request to be considered for Academic Amnesty. If readmitted, students will begin a new grade point average; however, credit for previous USF courses, or courses accepted for transfer credit, in which a grade of "C" or better was earned may be applied toward a degree, subject to determination by the college of the student's major. All prior courses attempted and grades received will remain on the student's official academic record and transcript. Students may not petition for any retroactive change to their academic records.
Students admitted under academic amnesty who do not enroll must reapply for any future term. To be admitted to a limited access program, students who have received academic amnesty must meet the admission criteria for that program.
