If you would like to make an admissions request, please find more information below.
Appeal for Reconsideration
Denied applicants who meet the minimum standards may make a request for reconsideration in writing. Send this request to the graduate director of the major to which you applied. Email your Appeal for Reconsideration directly to the graduate program and present additional evidence of your potential academic success at USF. This must be done within 30 days of the date of denial.
Applicants denied admission to a major are eligible to apply as a non-degree seeking student. Course selection restrictions may apply. Applicants must submit a non-degree seeking student application and fee to the Office of the Registrar online.
Deferment of Admission Request
Although you have already been admitted, deferring your admission to another term will not guarantee future admission. You must obtain permission from the program to defer. Email your request directly to the graduate program to which you applied. The request must be processed within 12 months of your initial admission date and before the program’s application deadline for the upcoming term.
Update of Admission Request
If an admission decision has not been offered and an applicant wants to be considered for a future semester, that applicant must send a request to the Office of Admissions asking them to update the application. The applicant must also specify their desired term of enrollment. Applications are held for only 12 months. Email your update request to the graduate program within 12 months of the term you initially requested. If you miss this deadline, you must submit a new application and fee. The Office of Admissions will not process any update requests without first receiving all official transcripts and required test scores.
