No. For the 2026–27 incoming process, the student must be admitted and have an active NetID before completing the housing application.
USF's 2026–27 housing application steps require an incoming student to be admitted and have an active USF NetID before completing the housing application. Families should finish admission and account activation promptly so housing is not delayed.
