Parking and transportation
getting around campus
Please take a look at this static map as well as the interactive map below to help get around. In the coming weeks we will be releasing edited maps to help make the path across campus even easier!
parking on campus
For those with vehicles, parking spots may be paid for on campus with a daily permit or by parking in a timed space. To view the official USF parking policy, please visit: Visitor/Daily Permits | Parking & Transportation Services
Please note that many parking restrictions will end Friday after 5:30 pm and on weekends. See link above for more details.
local hotels
This year we were unable to secure a hotel room block for students. However, there are many hotels in the area that should accommodate our registrants. Here are a few notable options, though we encourage chapters to explore all local options:
Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa USF
Home2 Suites by Hilton Tampa USF
Holiday Inn Tampa North
Hyatt Place Tampa/Busch Gardens
Please consult list for possibility of special “USF” rates or free shuttle services to USF. Not affiliated with any of the hotels. USF Area Hotels | Forms & Information | Student Support Services | Undergraduate Studies | USF
