Welcome to Bulls Country!

The journey to success at USF begins here! 

All new transfer students are required to attend an on-campus orientation.

What exactly is Orientation?
Transfer Orientation gives you the opportunity to get to know more about the USF community of which you will be part. During the transfer program, you will be welcomed by administrators from Academic and Student Affairs, introduced to your academic college, and given the opportunity to learn more about the student services and specialized departments on the USF campus.

When can I register for USF Orientation?
Reservations for spring term 2010 are now open.
You will need a University ID (U#) to register for Orientation. Click here for instructions on how to get your U#. 

Transfer students are encouraged to register for the earliest possible session to allow for more flexibility when selecting courses. As the beginning of the semester approaches, you may find it more difficult to fit your desired classes into your schedule.
