DIRECT ANSWER
This answer preserves school guidance recorded on 2026-09-01. Follow the linked university sources for current requirements, costs and dates.
USF prohibits a range of fire, electrical and safety hazards; use the current Housing policy and packing list as the controlling checklist.
Examples of prohibited items include candles and other open flames, incense, fireworks, space heaters, unapproved extension cords, personal grills and certain high-heat or battery-powered devices. Cooking appliances such as air fryers or toasters are restricted by room type, so students should compare each item against the current policy before packing it.
