GENERAL ADVISING INFORMATION
:
Spring semester is here and summer and fall are on their way....now is a great time to set up an appointment for academic advising. Our program is open enrollment but you still have to go through a formal application process (Matriculation) in order to graduate. There are five specific courses you need to complete with at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA in those five courses to matriculate. This needs to be done about 1 year before you are planning to graduate. Come speak with us at least every other semester so that we can keep your file updated and our records correct. We want to make sure you're taking the right classes, have your questions answered, and getting the most out of your UVU educational experience! Please call or stop by our office to set up an appointment, or you may also call the front desk at 801-863-6377!
