Transfer Student Information
Please follow these steps to ensure a smooth entry into USF and the Department
of Psychology
Step 1. Apply to USF admissions. (Link #1 in the useful
links box) Note: April 1 is deadline for Summer. July 1 is deadline for Fall.
November 15 is deadline for Spring.
Step 2. Register for a Mandatory On Campus Orientation. (Link
#2 in the useful links box) We recommend choosing the earliest date possible
since transfer students cannot begin their registration at USF until they
complete orientation.
Step 3. Attend an Information Session before your Orientation. Information sessions
will be held on the following dates in PCD 2118:
- Wednesday, July 23rd at 10:00am
- Wednesday, August 5th at 10:00am
Please send an email confirmation to shamm@cas.usf.edu indicating the Information Session
you plan to attend. Do not forget to include your U-number!

Please go to the information center at the main entrance for a parking permit and directions as there is much
construction and reaarangement of parking since the map was published.
As this may be the first time you are coming to USF and to our location,
please plan for extra travel time to navigate your way.
Step 4. Prepare for Registration. Since you will be allowed
to register after orientation, it is important that you are prepared to do
so immediately. Therefore, you will need to make sure you have submitted
all admissions materials as well as are familiar with the courses that will
be offered. Advisors will not register you for classes so be sure
that you understand the USF registration process.
