Early Admission

We recognize that some students want to start the next step of their academic career early.

Coordinated by and housed in the Honors College, USF provides an Early Admission program to meet the needs of highly capable, mature high school students. Under the Early Admission program you may enter the university as a regularly enrolled, degree-seeking student prior to graduation from high school. Admitted students must meet Honors College criteria. See the Honors College admission requirements.

We limit participation in the Early Admission program to students who have completed a minimum of six semesters of full-time secondary enrollment, including studies undertaken in the ninth grade. In addition, Early Admission applicants should be enrolled in a strong college-preparatory curriculum.

Students who are enrolled in an Early Admission program must take courses that are creditable toward the high school diploma and the associate or baccalaureate degree.
