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 partake of Honors College benefits and activities; however, participation in Early Admission does not imply Honors College admission. 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.
