    APLICATION PROCEDURE

What First-Time “New” Dual Enrollment Students Must Do:

1. Before starting this application process, please read all the information below. The application must be completed on a laptop or a desktop using Google Chrome (DO NOT USE YOUR CELL PHONE).
2. Students who need to register for tests must have an USF U number (U#) for the USF testing center (Complete the Non-Degree Application below).                                        
3. Note: Parents and Students should fill out the Non Degree Seeking application together to ensure Residency, Immunizations and Approval Form 1 are completed. The application process is initiated by completing the online USF “Non Degree Seeking” Application, as a  High School Dual Enrollment student. Use Google Chrome on a laptop or desk top computer, not a cell phone. Students must enter the name of their high school to be considered, or homeschool.  Students will select the Semester, Fall (August Course) or Spring (January Course); then select the USF Campus closest to you.   AVOID MISTAKE: Make sure to select the semester that you plan to take dual enrollment courses-either in August (Fall) or Spring (January). Also, Do Not Check Discipline or Misconduct unless you have done something illegal; school discipline referrals do not count unless the SRO was involved. On the last screen of the application, when asked to pay, just close the screen and your application will be processed and fees waived. DO NOT PAY! Just close your browser. 
4. Dual Enrollment applicants must establish residency by the same process as all applicants, please work with your parents or guardians when filling out the “Non-Degree Seeking” online application above.
5. Students must set up their NetID (USF email) 2-3 days after their application. They do this by using the same email they used on their application. USF communications will only be sent to their USF email account.  Activation of Student NetID is found here. 
6. Once the NetID is established, students will get their USF U# and provide it to their counselor. Parents / Students / Counselors or / administrators can submit the Dual Enrollment Approval Form 1. This form is only completed once per year. Please save a copy of the submission to your computer or print your confirmation.
7. Students will use OASIS found under MyUSF at the top of the USF Homepage to look up courses they are considering for dual enrollment.  They must have a course prefix, a course number and the five (5) digit CRN# for each course to be reviewed with their counselor, so that their counselors/administrators can submit Approval Form 2 for registration.  Click here for a tutorial on how to look up courses in OASIS. 
8. Counselors/Homeschool Parent Administrators must approve courses selected by the student (parent), who will provide the counselor course information to include prefix, number, title, and CRNs for online or at a USF Campus courses.  For all students taking courses on their high school campus, no CRN is required.
9. For Public High School Campuses: USF only allows students to register and take four (4) courses on a participating high school campus. Once the student reaches four (4) courses at their participating high school they can continue dual enrollment online or at a USF Campus. Students are allowed to take any modality combination such as, a high school campus course, USF online course, or a USF Campus course while dual enrolled. They do not have to wait until the four (4) courses on their high school campus are completed, they may add modalities as needed for their high school graduation requirements.
10. All Students must comply with the USF Immunization Policy 33-002. This applies to USF courses offered at a USF campus and for USF courses offered at a high school campus. Courses offered online do not need immunization records but students are encouraged to submit records in case the student’s modality changes.  Not completing immunization records can cause holds on a student’s account and could slow the enrollment process.
11. The Early University Programs cannot solve immunization issues, students and parents must contact Student Health Services immunization@shs.usf.edu.  Additional information regarding USF Health and Immunization, including instructions on how to submit information online, can be found on the Student Health Services website. For tips on filling out the Medical History Form, click here. Students can scan their Immunization records and any supporting documents along with a signed Medical History Form as one pdf file and send to immunization@shs.usf.edu.  IMPORTANT: To DECLINE the Meningitis vaccine, check the “decline” box,  or select you had it – do not leave it blank.  All forms do require signatures (the forms must be DOCUSIGNed through email sent to the student’s USF email and parent’s email) this applies to both the parent and student.  If exemptions are being requested for Medical Reasons or Religious Reasons please follow instructions on the Student Health Services website and email them at immunization@shs.usf.edu
