Non-Degree Admission
Transient & Visiting Students
USF welcomes students from other institutions to enroll on a term by term basis!
Transient Students
If you are currently enrolled at a Florida Public College or State University, you are considered a Transient Student.
ADMISSION:
STEP-BY-STEP TRANSIENT STUDENT APPLICATION GUIDE
- APPLY at FloridaShines.org. Follow the process to “take a course at another school.” You do not need to submit transcripts, pay an application fee, or provide residency documentation. Please do not complete a USF Non-Degree application. Once fully approved, you will receive a welcome email from USF with next steps.
ENROLLMENT:
- CHECK your registration appointment time in OASIS at MyUSF. All non-degree students have the same appointment time.
- SEARCH for courses using the online Dynamic Schedule search. A video tutorial is available for tips on using the tool.
- REGISTER for classes in OASIS at MyUSF on or after your appointment time but before the end of the Drop/Add period.
- ERRORS during registration?
- Pre- or co-requisite errors: email nondegree@usf.edu with your university ID number (U#), the course prefix and course number (e.g. ENC 1101). The academic advisor’s permission in the Florida Shines application will serve as approval that all course requisites have been met and a permit to register will be issued upon email request.
- Other registration errors: visit the Course Permits page for further instruction.
