Non-Degree Admission
High School Dual Enrollment Students
USF welcomes students who are not currently enrolled at a higher education institution but are interested in taking courses to complete high school credits while earning college credits at no cost. Check with your school or district to ensure USF has an articulation agreement in place. As a rule, USF establishes and renews articulation agreements annually with surrounding districts and private schools, but welcomes new partnerships throughout the year. Contact us at dualenrollment@usf.edu if your school does not currently have an agreement in place.
