Q: How do I find my U number?

A: The following steps will assist you in finding your “U” number:
1. LOGIN TO OASIS
2. SELECT STUDENT AND FINANCIAL AID
3. SELECT REGISTRATION THEN REGISTRATION STATUS
4. YOUR “U” NUMBER CAN BE FOUND IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE PAGE

There are several reasons why a U number might not work in the registration system.

1. Be sure to include the U and the eight digit number. For example U12345678.
2. If you were just admitted to USFSP very recently your information may not have been added to the orientation database.
3. If you were admitted to the Tampa your information will not be in the USFSP orientation database. You must attend orientation in Tampa.
4. If you were admitted to Tampa first and completed a change of home campus form then your information may not have been added to the orientation database when your home campus changed.
5. If you have not been admitted to USFSP yet your information will not be added until you have officially been admitted.
6. Make sure you are trying to register for the correct orientation. Transfer students and first time in college students have two very different registrations and programs.
