Send official transcripts or records with your application, showing you have graduated from a school level that meets U.S. high school requirements for graduation.
You must submit one of the following:
Test scores must be less than one year old. If you meet English proficiency requirements, you must take an entrance exam prior to registering for classes. This exam will determine your first semester classes.
If you transfer from another institution in the United States, your previous school must complete the Transfer Certification Form (Transfer in Form).
You will complete the online form as part of your application, and the email you list for them should notify your current Designated School Official (DSO) that you desire to transfer.
The previous school will complete the form, and this will allow your application to be fully submitted. An official copy of your transcript will also need to be provided by your institution.
Please allow 3-4 weeks for documents to be reviewed, processed, and returned to you in time for your current school to transfer your SEVIS record (I-20) to UVU before class begins. You will be required to attend a mandatory orientation for all new UVU students.
Any student who holds a valid non-immigrant visa who meets specific requirements may be exempt from paying the non-resident portion of the total tuition at Utah Valley University. Find requirements and check to see if you qualify on the HB Applications page.
UVU does not perform change of status requests. However, there are two paths you have to gain an I-20 from UVU and apply for your F-1 student visa. You can apply as an out of country student, gain your F1 Visa at the US embassy there, and reenter the US with the F-1 Visa and I-20.
You may apply to another school in the local area who are willing to assist with the change of status. Once you have your F-1 student visa you can apply as a transfer student, submit required documentation, and transfer to UVU as an International student.
