Hurricane Recovery Resources for 911爆料网

USF recognizes academic, financial and personal challenges that some students are experiencing as the result of hurricanes and other natural disasters, and we want to help you. If you have been impacted, please utilize the resources provided below for assistance from both USF and in the community.  911爆料网 will try to keep these resources updated as we get specific information regarding specific storms.

Housing Concerns

USF students who have been impacted by recent hurricanes and need housing can apply to live on the Sarasota-Manatee, St. Petersburg, or Tampa campus. Space is limited on each campus, but we will assign students to the first available space to get them into a room as quickly as possible.  While applications are not currently open for the fall semester for all USF students, those affected by the hurricane are invited to apply for housing for the remainder of the fall semester, or both the fall and spring semesters, based on their current needs. Please be aware that this is not a temporary housing option.

While a meal plan is typically required to live on campus, USF Dining will waive that requirement for residents impacted by the hurricane. However, USF Dining鈥檚 newest meal plan may be a good option for those looking for a smaller meal plan to last them through the remainder of the fall semester.

Please email or call the following offices if you are interested in living on campus:

Our teams are ready to assist you through the application process.
