Spring 2025 Application Launch Postponed

Due to the recent impacts of Hurricane Milton, Housing & Residential Education has postponed the opening date of the Spring 2025 Only housing application. The application will now launch on Friday, November 8 in the Housing Portal. 

If you have any questions, please email sar-housing@usf.edu. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

Applications to live on campus for the Spring 2025 semester will open on Friday, November 8 in the Housing Portal. To ensure all students have an equal opportunity to secure on-campus housing, USF Housing and Residential Education has implemented a priority application deadline of November 22. Those who apply between November 8 and November 22 will be placed on a randomized list that is not based on the day the student applied. Students will then be assigned to a room from that list. Those who apply after the November 22 priority deadline will receive more information after November 25 regarding availability on campus. 

If you are a new student, make sure you complete the Steps to Living on Campus so you can be ready to be assigned to a room. You will not be assigned to a space until all Steps to Living on Campus are complete. Please note that Spring 2025 housing will be limited.
