Dual Enrollment

Re-enrollment

Returning students are eligible to re-enroll as long as they have maintained a 2.0 GPA at USF and upheld community standards. You High School Counselor or Homeschool/PEP Parent will approve your courses and submit Form 2 EVERY SEMESTER.

  • If you have been away for 3 or more semesters (This includes USF summer semester-even though there is no DE in summer) you must create a new non-degree application by completing the online USF “Non Degree Seeking” Application, as a High School Dual Enrollment student you are considered NEW. Examples: If you applied in the Fall and never attended Fall, Spring, or Summer semesters, you must have a new application you are considered NEW, If you applied for Spring and did not attend Spring, Summer, or Fall You must re-apply as you are then considered NEW.
  • Use Google Chrome on a laptop or desk top computer, and do not use your cell phone. Students must enter the name of their high school to be considered, or that they are homeschooled. Students will select the Semester, Fall (August Course) or Spring (January Course); then select the USF Campus closest to you.
  • If you applied for dual enrollment and filled out the non-degree application but never attended that term, your application has expired and you must re-apply as a new student. See "READY TO APPLY" on side menu. 
  • If you need to update your High School's Name or Transfer to Homeschool/PEP see forms to left for the process.
