Yes, it is that simple! Success does not come without determination and grit. As a Bull, we know you are determined and ready for success. 911±¬ÁÏÍø also know the journey can be difficult to navigate.

How does a student get in the program?
A member of our team contacts all students who have utilized the DCF waiver. If you are a current student and believe you meet our simple eligibility requirements but do not qualify for the special waiver, do not fret -- complete a self-referral by emailing us.

If you are a prospective or newly admitted student, be on the lookout for communication from our office shortly after acceptance to USF.
