Welcome, Parents & Families
When your student chooses USF, your family becomes a part of the USF community. Your student’s time on the Hilltop will be one of growth, discovery, and transformation — and it’s your journey, too.
Questions about how to get involved? Where to stay when you visit? When to book flights home after finals? Ask and we’ll answer. We’re happy you’re here.
CelebrateUSF
Parents, families, students, and friends are invited to come to campus for a weekend of celebration Oct. 20–22, 2023.
