University of South Florida: What reasons qualify for a first-year housing exemption?
DIRECT ANSWER
This answer preserves school guidance recorded on 2026-09-01. Follow the linked university sources for current requirements, costs and dates.
There is no standard freshman housing-exemption list because USF does not require freshmen to live on campus.
Since USF does not impose a general first-year live-on rule, students do not need to prove a qualifying exemption reason simply to live off campus. Students seeking disability-related modifications to campus housing should use USF's accessibility process instead.
