Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment in USF classes is open to academically qualified students who are currently enrolled in public/private high schools and who are recommended by their guidance counselor or principal. This program is also available to home-schooled students.

Only courses not offered at Hillsborough Community College will be approved for Dual Enrollment at the University.

The University has articulation agreements with several county school boards to allow public high school students to enroll in classes at USF. Students must be enrolled in postsecondary instruction that is creditable toward the high school diploma to be classified as dually enrolled.

Students who wish to be accepted as dual enrollment students at USF must:
