LAUNCH Academy students are provided a courtesy ID that gives them access to many of the same opportunities as degree-seeking students attending USF.

The courtesy ID can be used for the bus system at USF, taking the HART bus for free, general activities, and access to library facilities. Students can also join clubs, create a USF email, and add meal plans to their ID cards.



Inside USF bus LAUNCH Academy does not provide transportation to and from the program. Students may take the bus, drive or receive a ride from family members. USF has a bus system called the Bull Runner that students may use to go all around the campus.
