2. When can I apply for USF campus housing?
Since housing is on a first come first serve basis, the sooner you get your application in the better your chances are of securing your preferred housing assignment. Although you do not need to be admitted to the university to apply for campus housing, it is your responsibility to cancel your housing contract before cancellation deadlines to avoid charges if you decided not to attend or have not been admitted to USF. Housing Contracts for Fall 2007/Spring 2008 are now available for download.

3. Do I have to sign up for a meal plan?
Any student who has not lived on Tampa Campus in the residence halls prior to Fall (Summer residents are not included) must sign up for a meal plan. Exceptions include Magnolia Apartment residents and non-FTIC students living in the Greek Village, Holly Apartments, Kosove Apartments and Cypress Apartments for two semesters.
