From here, you must have a clear picture of what's next and what is needed to support your student's success at USF. Review the links below as they will provide you with valuable information about next steps, preparing for USF, learning more about campus life and resources, and connecting with new and current family members:
- Encourage: Your support gives your student strength. Through every challenge and transition, your words, presence, and belief in them make a difference. Your encouragement helps them keep going — and growing.
- Empower: As your student takes bold steps forward, you empower them by trusting their decisions and reminding them of their potential. Your guidance helps them navigate change with confidence and clarity.
- Embrace: College isn’t just a transition for students — it’s a journey for families, too. Embrace this new chapter with openness and pride, knowing that your love and connection remain a steady foundation.
