Next Steps

U.S.-based students starting in the spring must submit final official high school transcripts for admission consideration. These transcripts should reflect final grades and graduation date listed directly on the doucment.

The deadline to submit your final high school transcript for admission consideration for spring is July 1.

• Follow the instructions in the next section for submitting high school transcripts. Choose the instructions that match your school's location and type.

U.S.-based students starting in the summer and fall must submit the SSAR, not a partial transcript. You will self-report your grades through the SSAR portal before we can make an admissions decision.

• In your "Thanks for Applying" email, there is a link to access your personal SSAR account. If you cannot find it, please log into the Applicant Portal to access your SSAR account.

Non-U.S.-based students must submit partial high school transcripts for admission consideration. These transcripts reflect completed and in-progress courses but usually don't include graduation dates or final completed courses.

• Follow the instructions in the next section for submitting partial high school transcripts. Choose the instructions that match your school's location and type.

Regardless of residency status in the U.S., all incoming first-year students must supply their final high school transcript after graduation. Your final high school transcript must include your graduation date and all courses must be listed as completed.

• Please note: Students who are admitted to USF must submit their final official transcripts after graduation. USF admissions staff will use these transcripts to ensure the information on your SSAR is accurate. Any inaccuracies could have the following consequences:

• • You could lose your admission to USF
  • Your scholarship could be reduced or rescinded
  • Your course registration may be canceled
    
    
• If you do not submit these documents by the deadline, your enrollment at the University of South Florida will be canceled. The deadlines for final transcript submission are:

• • June 15 - Summer start

  • July 15 - Fall start

• If your graduation date is close to or after our deadline, please reach out to us as soon as possible so we may help you with options.
