Enrollment Being admitted to a specific major does NOT ensure enrollment. In majors with limited openings (or seats), enrollment is based on a “first come, first served” procedure, assuming prerequisites have been satisfied. Some programs or majors of the University are accredited by professional or technical organizations which may recommend certain minimum standards for entrance into the program. Other programs may require prerequisite skills or knowledge that are specific to entry-level courses required for that major. Admissions Steps To be officially admitted to the University, an applicant must submit the following to the Office of Admissions: 1. Application for Admission. For immediate response apply on-line at: www. uvu.edu/admissions/applynow or apply by paper application. 2. Nonrefundable, one time only, $35 application fee accompanying first Application for Admission. ($100 nonrefundable fee for international applicants). Application deadline: Fall Semester, Aug. 15; Spring Semester, Dec. 20. 3. An ACT/SAT test score must be submitted prior to registration for classes. In addition the University requests official transcripts of all previous college and high school work and if applicable, GED or other certification of high school completion. Acceptance and resident status will be determined by the Admissions Office. A declaration of major is accomplished through the Application for Admission. Students desiring to change their majors after acceptance to the University are required to change their major through their academic advisor. Assessment All first-time students are required to satisfy the University’s assessment requirement prior to being classified as “matriculated” (degree seeking) into any major of the University. Individual courses (e.g. Mathematics, English) may require a passing score on one or more subtests of the Assessment Battery as a course prerequisite for enrollment.
