Experiential Credit

New students may receive experiential credit for pilot certificates, previous training, life or work experience obtained prior to beginning our degree program, provided it is approved by a senior advisor.

In order to receive experiential credit for pilot certificates & ratings, as long as we can verify them on the FAA's Airmen Registry, no copies will be necessary. If we are unable to verify them, the student must make a copy of his or her certificates, ratings, or documents, front and back, and have the copy notarized. Send certificates and other necessary documentation to:

Utah Valley University
Attn: Aviation Science MS-114
800 W. University Parkway
Orem, UT 84058-5999

The price for experiential credit is $15.00 per course and $5.00 per credit. For example, for a 3 credit course, the experiential credit fee would be:

1 course @ $15.00
15.00
3 credits @ $5.00/credit
15.00
Total experiential credit fee for a 3 credit course
$30.00

The experiential credit fee cannot be paid until the request has been processed and the necessary documentation or certificates have been verified. The fee will appear on the student's UVLink account, at which point they can pay it online using Web Check or by mailing a check to the Cashier's Office at the following address. If you choose to pay by check, do not send it until the fee appears on your UVLink account balance.

Utah Valley University
Attn: Cashier's Office MS-109
800 W. University Parkway
Orem, UT 84058

Experiential credit is posted to the student's transcript after associated fees have been paid and the request has been processed. When experiential credit is granted for a course, it will be assigned "CR" (credit) as the final grade. The student is allowed to use experiential credit for a maximum of 30 aviation credit hours. Sixteen of these credits can be lower division aviation courses. The other fourteen credits must be upper division aviation courses.
