Completing Prerequisites at UVU

If you are currently a UVU student, please meet with your advisor to discuss the best way to incorporate these courses into your WolverineTrack (e.g., if you have a non-BESC/PSY major).

If you have already completed your bachelor's degree, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Apply to UVU as non-degree seeking transfer student.
    • Select Undergraduate application.
    • Create admissions account.
    • Select Transfer/Freshman application.
    • Select "Non-Degree Seeking" admit type.
  2. Send university transcripts. If you graduated from UVU, this step is not necessary.
  3. Register for courses once admitted (more information here). 
  4. To register for BESC 3010 and/or BESC 3020, send an email to swmaster@uvu.edu with your UVID and a request that the prerequisites for the courses be waived (only students who have already earned a bachelor's degree are eligible for prerequisites for BESC 3010 and BESC 3020 to be waived).
