Application Process

To live in the Nursing Trailblazers LLC, students must meet all of the following requirements and maintain the progression criteria outlined in the Freshmen Nursing Pathway contract. To remain active in the LLC, students must attend all events deemed mandatory for the year as well as at least one optional event.

To gain admission to an LLC, you will need to complete an online LLC program application (in addition to the general 新澳门六合彩内幕信息housing application) and be admitted into the LLC program.

When completing an LLC program application that requires longer responses, we recommend typing into a Microsoft Word document that you can save and refer back to if you have any complications. Once you submit an application, a confirmation page should appear. You will also receive a confirmation email in your 新澳门六合彩内幕信息email account. If you do not receive these confirmations, please contact livinglearning@usf.edu, as your application was not received.

LLC Admission Decisions

Once received, your application will be reviewed by the appropriate LLC for a decision on admission. You will be notified via your 新澳门六合彩内幕信息email account regarding your LLC admission status. Each LLC has its own review timeline, but most programs will review applications and begin making application decisions by early March. Admission decisions are for one academic year. Students wishing to return to their LLC for an additional year should contact their program coordinator for specific instructions.

If you are admitted to an LLC, you will automatically be assigned into that community. If you do not meet the eligibility requirements, or the LLC has reached capacity, your housing assignment will be based on the preferences in your general housing application.

If at any point you wish to withdraw an application, or for questions regarding the general housing application, meal plans, payment information, etc., please contact housing@usf.edu or 813-974-0001.
