Tips to make Senior Citizen Registration easier
1. Do not register for classes prior to the Senior Citizen Registration date. Those that do will incur a non-waivable fee liability.
2. If you are a new student, or one who has not enrolled at USF in the past 3 consecutive terms, please provide two forms of state-issued identification (Drivers License; Voter Registration; Vehicle Registration) with your registration form.
3. The Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver Program is limited to bonafide residents of Florida. Persons shall be considered Florida Residents provided they have resided and held domicile in the state for at least twelve months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term. This data is validated through the state issued documents listed above.
4. All students, including senior citizen tuition waiver students are required to purchase parking permits to park on campus. You may purchase a one-day parking permit from the Visitors Information Station located at the main entrance to the university on Fowler Avenue. Per-semester and annual parking permits are available from Parking Services.
5. All students, including senior citizen tuition waiver students are required to meet current Immunization and Medical History requirements for participation in on-campus courses. If you have questions about whether you meet the Medical History Immunization and Medical History requirement, contact Student Health Services (1813) 974-4056.
6. Courses may be researched in advance of the registration date. The most up-to-date information on course availability is accessed through OASIS the online Class Schedule Search.
7. Many courses require departmental approval, prerequisites or have other restrictions which limit registration. If you are aware of those restrictions, you may acquire the necessary permits in advance of registration by contacting the department offering the course. The permits will be submitted electronically to registration. No papers are necessary. Students requiring permits on the day of registration can have their forms stamped by the department offering the course.
Under no circumstances will notes on plain paper without department letterhead be acceptable.
8. Your fees are automatically waived. Your schedule/Bill will show a balance due. Disregard this: your fee billing will be updated by the cashier's office at the end of the processing period.
