Utah Valley University is an open-admissions university dedicated to breaking down barriers to education and uplifting underrepresented groups. UVU is home to the largest number of Latino students at a four-year university in Utah and has a thriving Latino student community of over 5,000 students.
UVU has programs, advising, and services in place to assist you throughout your time in college, from application to graduation. The Latino Initiative is here to support you along the way.
UVU is an open admissions school, which means that all students with a high school diploma, GED, or other equivalent are accepted. We emphasize small class sizes and hands-on learning to give you an individualized college experience.
The road to college isn’t always predictable. No matter your background, residency status, or previous educational experience, you are welcome and valued at UVU.
The Latino Initiative has coordinators ready to support you as you navigate higher education. Schedule an appointment with us today to meet with one of coordinators with diverse, unique perspectives, and experiences.
Advising and mentoring is also available through several other programs and departments.
Appointments are available in Spanish with Jeanelle Carden at Multicultural Student Services, as well as Daniela Hernandez and Kay Stasinos with Admissions Outreach.
The Latino Initiative hosts events and workshops throughout the year to connect Latino students to resources and to celebrate Latino culture. Learn more about our upcoming events.
There are other ways to get involved on campus, too—apply for a program through Multicultural Student Services or join a student club today.
