Experience Matters
The University of St. Francis has been empowering educators for 100 years. Today, we proudly continue to serve those who serve others. What separates us from other institutions is our ability and willingness to customize offerings to meet the evolving needs of today’s educators.
A pioneer in online learning, USF offered its first online courses and degree programs in 1998. More than 20 years later, our engaging online format balances quality learning experiences with flexibility and value. Dedicated educators have filled over 50,000 seats in courses offered through USF's REAL program since its debut.
Registration Process
Payment for TIDE/USF partner program courses requires the following two (2) steps:
STEP ONE – register with TIDE and pay the course down-payment.
STEP TWO – submit the course registration/enrollment form with USF and pay remaining tuition balance.
Access to USF registration/enrollment will be located in the Additional Information section of the TIDE registration form. Please note that you will not have access to the course until BOTH steps of the registration process are complete.
It is requested that you complete both portions of the registration at least one month prior to the scheduled course start date.
