APPLICATION PROCESS
To gain admission to an RCP, you will need to complete an online RCP program application (in addition to the general USF housing application) and be admitted into the RCP program.
When completing an RCP 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 USF email account. If you do not receive these confirmations, please contact livinglearning@usf.edu, as your application was not received.
RCP Admission Decisions
Once received, your application will be reviewed by the appropriate RCP for a decision on admission. You will be notified via your USF email account regarding your RCP admission status. Each RCP 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 RCP for an additional year should contact their program coordinator for specific instructions.
If you are admitted to an RCP, you will automatically be assigned into that community. If you do not meet the eligibility requirements, or the RCP has reached capacity, you will receive notification of your application status at that time. You will then need to make housing decisions 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.
