Oct. 5, 2026 – South Florida State College (SFSC) and the University of South Florida (USF) announced the renewal of their partnership through the Fuse guaranteed admissions program. SFSC was one of nine Florida College System (FCS) institutions present at USF in Tampa to add their signatures to the renewal contract on Monday, Sept. 21.
Entering its 10th year, Fuse provides a seamless and timely degree path for students to transfer to USF. Students are guaranteed admission into specific majors at USF, provided they meet certain criteria.
“Fuse students arrive at USF prepared not only to transfer successfully, but to thrive in their chosen academic programs,” said Allison Crume, associate vice president and dean of undergraduate studies. “From day one, students follow a clearly defined pathway that positions them for success.”
Students accepted into the Fuse program attend a special FSC/USF orientation in their first year to introduce them into the USF community and have access to resources from both institutions, including Fuse scholarships, advising, academic services, activities, and sporting events, while obtaining their associate degree. Since its creation, the Fuse program has grown from 14 pathways to 50 majors.
“We were thrilled to attend the 10th Anniversary USF FUSE MOU Signing Ceremony,” said Dr. James Hawker, dean of arts and sciences at SFSC. “This has been a great partnership to help our students seamlessly transfer to USF to continue their education towards a bachelor’s degree in their chosen field. We proudly work with USF to provide our students this opportunity.”
Fuse was piloted in fall 2016 with 40 students starting at Hillsborough Community College and St. Petersburg College. The program has expanded to include: College of Central Florida, Florida SouthWestern State College, Pasco-Hernando State College, Polk State College, Santa Fe College, South Florida State College, and State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota.
