Students need to be associated with a public school district/charter or private school/homeschool.  An articulation agreement needs to exist between USF  the public school district/charter, the private school, or the homeschool administrator.

Information about the requirements is found online under the Requirements and Deadlines section of the website. However, there are other things to consider such as the student's maturity, proximity to campus, and long-term educational goals. It is important to remember that early admissions is a full-time, immersive experience that students should approach holistically.

School counselors are responsible for making sure that students meet 91社区 high school graduation requirements. They are also familiar with the early admissions program, making them best qualified for helping students make a choice.

School counselors (at the student's main institution) are responsible for making sure that students meet 91社区 high school graduation requirements.

Counselors are responsible for verifying all information and submitting the EA Approval form. Counselors also should work with students to submit official transcripts and official SAT or ACT scores, similar to what they would do for graduating seniors preparing to attend a university.  

In general, students need to submit an online degree-seeking application, official transcripts, official SAT/ACT test scores, early admissions approval form, and immunization documentation. All of these forms can be found in the Admissions Procedure area.

Official transcripts are those that come directly from the institution to USF. High school students need to ask their high school to send their official transcripts to USF electronically. If students' high school cannot send the official transcripts electronically, please mail them to:

Students may withdraw from courses between the second and tenth week of the semester. Withdrawn courses are noted with a 鈥淲鈥� grade on the transcript, but does not affect the GPA (after drop/add week - the first week of each semester). All undergraduate students will be limited to a total of five course withdrawals while enrolled as a degree-seeking or a non-degree seeking undergraduate student.

After the final grades being posted, EUP will provide a grade report to the district/school's dual enrollment liaison.

The syllabus of every course explains how the grade is determined and students receive a midterm average. It is the responsibility of the student to inform counselors and parents if they are struggling in class(es). Many, but not all in progress grades may be tracked through the Canvas system. Students should seek academic assitance, such as tutoring, as soon as their is a hint that a class may cause the student to struggle.

USF has a First Day Attendance policy making it mandatory to attend courses on the first day of the semester. Failure to attend a course could result in the course being dropped from a student's registration. For more, check out the online orientation on Canvas.

Students are always welcome to email dualenrollment@usf.edu to speak with a coordinator. Specific information is on our Contact Us page.
While EUP is always here to serve our constituents, we do ask schools to choose 1-2 school administrators to serve as a liaison to USF. This liaison would receive general information and would be the spokesperson for the department/school. EUP staff still may reach out to specific counselors in regard to specific student questions.

Students are the primary stakeholder in their education, and therefore, should be the ones to reachout to faculty. Parents, however, can help coach students on how and what questions to ask. It is highly likely that if a parent reaches out without including the student, the reply will bring the student into the communication.

A far majority of on-campus activities are available to early admissions students. EA students are strongly encouraged to take part in events such as Week of Welcome to learn more about student organizations and events throughout USF.
