May Term

Customize Your May Term

At USF, students have the opportunity to set their own pace in May. The unique month referred to as May term, allows students to customize the four week session to fit their specific needs and maximize their college experience before the summer semester starts each year. Whether students are looking to travel abroad, serve on a mission trip, intern at a local business, explore a new topic, pick up a needed class or simply rest — May term enhances the college experience.
