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. You must 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 USF. Housing Contracts for Summer 2009 and Fall 2009/Spring 2010 are now available on the myHousing website.

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 non-FTIC students living in the Greek Village, Holly Apartments, Magnolia Apartments and Cypress Apartments for two semesters. Please note that you must complete a meal plan application to be assigned. Once assigned to one of the previously mentioned loactions, a non-FTIC with 30 or more credits may cancel their meal plan (please see Dining Services for more information on how to cancel your meal plan).
