first time in college post orientation checklist

We hope you enjoyed your orientation experience at USF St. Petersburg!  We enjoyed having you!  Below are some reminders about things to do before you arrive on campus in the fall.

Confirm Housing Contract and Deposit
You should apply for university housing as soon as possible in order to secure your space.  Once you have completed the contract and sent the housing deposit, please confirm that it was received by contacting Residence Life at 727-873-5101.

The University's Academic & Information Student Portal: my.usf.edu
The my.usf.edu Web site is the official student portal to many of the University's online resources and business functions. You will use the site everyday to keep up with class, announcements, clubs, and to access secure applications.  Check it for updates from your faculty in regards to the syllabus and text books needed.

Paying Your Tuition & Fees
Make sure to pay your tuition and other fees by the first Friday of the semester at 5:00 p.m. Visit the Oasis Web site to view your account summary and make payments.

Register For Your Parking Decal
A parking decal is needed to park on campus 24/7.  Make sure to register your vehicle and pay for your decal before the semester begins. Visit the cashier's office in Bayboro Hall (in between Davis Hall and the Poynter Library) to purchase your decal.

New Student Convocation
Convocation brings new students and their families together with faculty and staff to mark a new beginning. Convocation and commencement are bookends, signifying traditional acknowledgment of milestones in the academic journey. The ceremony will include remarks from Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs Dr. Kent Kelso and student leaders. For more information, please visit the convocation Web site.

Convocation occurs once a year, to welcome new students into the USF St. Petersburg community. Formal invitations will be sent in August.   You will be asked to RSVP.
