WHERE CAN I BUY MY BOOKS FOR THE SUMMER?

CAN I PURCHASE BOOKS USING MY FINANCIAL AID AWARDS? 

If you are eligible to receive financial aid, you will qualify for a bookstore authorization to defer payment on the books and supplies purchased at the USF Bookstore, Summer Session B. This program is known as the Bookstore Advanced Purchase Program (BAPP). The amount that you charge for books and supplies will be posted to your student account and deducted from the financial aid funds. 

HOW DO I PURCHASE MY MEAL PLAN USING MY FINANCIAL AID AWARD? 

When you select your annual SSS housing contract (summer housing location TBD and Beta Hall for fall/spring), you will select your dining options.

Summer 2025 Meal Plan

All summer students who meet low-income requirements will have unlimited entry to the dining hall and $200 Dining Dollars to use for eating anywhere on campus. You will select the 鈥淥pen Access鈥� Meal Plan and that amount will be deducted from your financial aid proceeds.

Fall 2025 Meal Plan

We recommend that you select the 鈥淎ny 15鈥� Meal Plan which will allow you to eat three meals a day; however, it is your choice. Failure to select a meal plan as soon as possible will delay your housing assignment for the fall semester.

AM I REQUIRED TO LIVE IN THE RESIDENCE HALLS? 

YES. All SSS students must live in the residence halls for one year during the summer, fall and spring semesters even if you reside in the Tampa area. There is a great demand for on-campus housing 鈥� it is extremely important that you apply for housing in Beta Hall for summer 2025, fall 2025/spring 2026. Complete your online annual SSS housing contract for 2025 summer/fall semesters and spring 2026. Student Support Services is a Residential Learning Community (SSS RLC). All SSS students are required to live on campus for one year. You will live in Beta Hall (Summer/Fall 2025 and Spring 2026) to facilitate SSS programming and increase student persistence and student success. During the summer all SSS students will live on campus. The SSS residential location also ensures cost remains at a minimal level because financial aid does not increase based on housing selection.

HOW IS MY HOUSING PAID? 

Students eligible for financial aid will have their housing charges paid from their financial aid award when it distributes through the student account. 

HOW AM I ASSIGNED A ROOMMATE AND WHEN CAN I MOVE INTO MY DORM ROOM? 

Roommates are randomly assigned. After check-in, SSS participants will move into the residence halls on Sunday, June 22, 2025 for summer semester. Following move-in there will be a week of orientation activities that are required for all SSS students to attend. 

CAN I HAVE A CAR ON CAMPUS? 

It is recommended that students do not bring their car on campus during the summer semester. However, if you opt to do so, you must purchase a parking permit from Parking Services in order to park your car on the campus premises. Parking lots are restricted according to permit type. You will be responsible for all parking citations. See the USF Parking Services website for more information concerning parking and transportation and purchasing your permit at: /administrative-services/parking/.

HOW DO I OBTAIN A USF ID CARD? 

Your USF ID Card provides you access to your residence hall and your meal plan, as well as several other services on campus. Please obtain your ID card from the USF ID Card Center as soon as possible. To be sure it is ready on time, request your USF ID card at least 2 weeks before SSS Move-In Day by clicking USF Card Center.

Dual Enrollment: Do you have dual enrollment credit? If so, it is important that you call and request to have transcripts sent to USF by the Registrar鈥檚 office of the college you attended. This will ensure completion of your admissions and your financial aid funds can be released. Please check your USF OASIS account in order to confirm that USF has received your dual enrollment transcript. Dual Enrollment grades listed on high school transcript will not be accepted. The dual enrollment transcript must be sent from the college where classes were taken.
