Undergraduate Students
Prospective undergraduate students, please follow the steps listed below for admission. Note: To be considered for admission to the College, an applicant must be accepted by the University as a degree-seeking student and be in good standing academically. In addition, an applicant must meet the requirements outline in the Undergraduate Catalog (see Engineering section Academic Policies).
Step 1. Apply to USF
Visit Undergraduate Admissions and select Freshmen, Transfers (includes Former Students Returning), or International. Be sure to read “before you apply” and “requirements” then complete the online application and provide supporting documentation by the required deadline.
Step 2. Applying to College of Engineering
There is no need to apply formally to the College of Engineering. The credentials of all admitted USF students with an intended major of engineering will be provided to the college by USF. Shortly after you are accepted by USF you will receive a letter from the College of Engineering informing you of your college admissions status.
Step 3. Complete the Admission Process
To complete the admission process, newly admitted USF students are required to attend orientation and enroll in at least one course during their admitted term. Former Students Returning are not required to attend orientation, so prior to course enrollment it will be necessary to make an appointment and speak with an advisor in Engineering Student Services.
Graduate Students
Graduate students please visit Graduate Admissions for information and to access the online application.
Admission Process for Current USF Students/Changing Majors >>
Undergraduate Students:
Undergraduate students who decide after entering a program that they wish to change to an engineering major must apply to the College of Engineering. Before applying to the College, students should read the College of Engineering section of the USF Undergraduate Catalog thoroughly, especially the Engineering General Academic Policies information. Then to apply, call the office of Engineering Student Services at 813-974-2684 to make an appointment and speak with an advisor.
Graduate Students:
Graduate students who decide after entering a program that they wish to change graduate programs must do so through Graduate School, not the Office of Graduate Admissions.
Change of Program Request will NOT be considered for graduate students in their first semester of study. Only a continuing graduate student enrolled for study in a particular program who wishes to change to another program at the same or lower level must complete the Change of Program Request Form. It is up to the discretion of the student’s original program to determine if a Change of Program is appropriate and will be granted. Students may obtain the form at http://www.grad.usf.edu. This form must be signed both by the current program and the new program, after which it must be submitted to the Graduate School for approval. If approved by the Graduate School, the change of program form is then sent to the Registrar for processing.
NOTE: Some programs may require another application to be submitted because the Change of Program Request Form does not contain sufficient information for them to make a decision. You should check with the new program before completing any paperwork.
