This is a great time in your life, and we are sure you will find USF to be the right choice for your college needs.
New in 2020 & 21
With several dates for the SAT and ACT canceled in the face of COVID-19, USF has waived the requirement for those test scores for incoming freshmen.
We will still accept test scores, but they are now optional as part of admissions.
Information About Admissions

- English – 4 years
- Mathematics – 3 years (Geometry and two additional courses including one full year of Algebra I or its equivalent or any other courses above Algebra I)
- Social Studies – 2 years

The University of St. Francis offers quite a few different types of scholarships and grants to help you pay for college.
NOTE: Our published tuition is NOT what most students pay! Almost all of our undergraduate students receive aid and scholarships that greatly reduce the final cost of school. Don’t let the initial price scare you– remember to subtract all of your scholarships, Pell, MAP, and other aid!
