International Students
In addition to your application, you'll need to also complete the Visiting International Student Request Form.
You are welcome to be a visiting student as long as you are holding a visa status that allows part-time study. F-1 and J-1 visa holders who are maintaining their status through another school can also apply to be visiting students. USF does not issue I-20 forms to visiting students; so you will need to maintain your full-time F-1 or J-1 status at your other school.
If you hold a B-1 or B-2 visa or if you are participating in the visa waiver program, you are not eligible to be a visiting student at USF.
