How can I change my major?
Our academic advisors can change your major to within the Woodbury School of Business.
You will want to schedule an appointment to meet with them to change your major,
discuss requirements/matriculation, and get a degree plan
What is a minor and what can a minor do for me?
- A minor is a small grouping of courses in a particular field that is important to
developing a broad based knowledge of an academic area in a relatively short period
of time as compared to that of doing a second major.
- Minors allow you to gain skills in a second area that compliments your main interests
in your major. Sometimes, having the right minor can serve as a sort of tiebreaker
between you and an otherwise equally qualified competitor for the same job.
- To add a minor, you will need to go to the department over your chosen minor. (i.e. MKTG
minor = Business Advisors, DGM minor = DGM Advisors, etc)
How do I make an appointment with my advisor?
What is Matriculation? How do I get matriculated?
Matriculation is the student's application to get into their desired major. UVU Business
majors will need to complete matriculation requirements, which are a group of courses,
before they are allowed to move on to their major courses.
Matriculation is not automatic. As listed above, students need to complete: WSB Orientation AND complete Matriculation courses.
Students are limited to 9 hours of upper-division credit (3000 or higher) until matriculation is
completed. After grades are posted for designated courses, students can schedule an
appointment with a Woodbury School of Business advisor to complete the matriculation
process.
Also at this time, you can work with an advisor to create a graduation plan.

What does it mean when I receive an "I" or "M" grade?

Repeating Classes
- No additional credit is allowed for repeating a course in which the initial grade
was passing unless the course number for the course ends in the letter suffix “R”
or “Z” (a course designed to be repeatable for credit). For other repeated courses,
the most recent grade will be used in the calculation of the GPA. Upon successful
completion of the repeated course, the repeat is indicated on the student’s transcript
(E=Exclude, I=Include). All work will remain on the records, ensuring a true and accurate
academic history. (Note: Although not used in computing the UVU overall GPA for UVU
purposes, many graduate programs, such as law or dental school, include ALL grades
in calculating an overall GPA for admissions criteria.)
- Courses are not accepted from other institutions for the purpose of posting a repeat
of a course already taken at UVU.
- Board of Regents policy requires that students shall be charged at the full cost of
the instruction tuition for repeating a course more than once, unless the institution
determines that the repetition is a result of illness, accident or other cause beyond
the student’s control or unless the course is prescribed by the student’s program
of study. This affects all courses beginning January of 2003.
Registration Questions (holds, pre-req, waitlists)
Holds
- NEW STUDENTS: All new students will recieve two hold, Advisor and Orientation.
- Advisor Hold - All students need to contact their advisor. In order for an advisor
to clear the hold, they need to have either an ENGL score from Accuplacer, ACT or
SAT.
- Orientation Hold - All students with less that 15 credits need to go to https://www.uvu.edu/orientation/howtocomplete/index.html and complete the Online Orientation (step #2). You will log in with your UVID number
and Password.
- PLEASE NOTE: Once you complete the Online Orientation, please check your myUVU email.
You will receive an email from the Orientation Office for JumpStart. ALL STUDENTS with less that 15 credits will need to attend the face-to-face JumpStart.
- TRANSFER STUDENTS: Students who transfer into UVU with 15 credits or more will need to complete ONLY the Online Orientation at https://www.uvu.edu/orientation/transfer/ . (Step #2)
- CURRENT STUDENTS: If you are unable to register and were informed you have a hold, it could either
be a Structure Enrollment Hold, Academic Standards Hold or Balance Due Hold. Please
see your advisor to discuss how to have hold released.
Pre-req's
- Prereq is short for prerequisite coursework, and refers to any course that you are
required to successfully complete before you can take another course. Prereqs are
used to assure that students have the appropriate background training before they
enroll in a course. (i.e. MATH 1010 is needed before student can take MATH 1050; ACC
2010 is needed before student can take ACC 2020)
Wait-list
- Once a course section has reached its enrollment capacity, the status of the class
will change from "Register" to "Wait-list". There is only a certain amount of students
that can be added the wait-list. When the wait-list reaches its capacity, then the
course section will be marked "C" meaning it's "CLOSED".
- How a wait-list works: When an enrolled student drops the course, the next person on the wait-list will
receive an email in their myUVU email indicating they can add the course. IT IS NOT AUTOMATIC! Once the student gets this email, they will have 24-hours to add this course. Once
the 24-hour window expires, then it will move on to the next student on the wait-list.
My advisor mentioned by Math has expired, what does that mean?
A student must have had a prior math class (or test score) within the last two years.
A student must also have a grade of C or higher in the prior Math class to be able
to take the next Math class. If it has been longer than two years since you have
completed MAT 1010 or higher, you will need to complete ALEKS in order to register
for the next math course. Learn More
You will need to speak with a math advisor to get more information, visit http://www.uvu.edu/math/speaktoadvisor.html
How do I drop or withdraw from a course?
- MyUVU will allow students to drop all but their last classes online before the add/drop
deadline by going to MyUVU > Student Tab > Registration and Planning > Add/Drop Classes.
All courses can be dropped by completing a Leave of Absence which students will be
prompted to do when they try to drop all currently enrolled classes.
- If Business Students need to drop a course after the add/drop deadline, they will
need to stop by WB 257 to get an Exception to Withdraw Form. Instructions on how to complete the form will be given.
I am transferring into UVU, what do I need to do?
In order to see how a class will transfer to UVU from another college, a student can
check the Transfer Articulation database. The Transfer Articulation database can be
accessed by going to MyUVU > Student Tab > My Academics > Transfer Information > Transfer
Articulation. For students who have not been admitted to UVU can go to Transfer Utah to view how their courses can be transferred.
Please be aware that the Transfer Articulation database only shows classes that have
been previously transferred. If a course has never been transferred to UVU, it will
not show up on the Transfer Articulation database. The Transfer Articulation database
can give students a good idea of how classes will be transferred, however, it is not
a guarantee.
In order to see how classes will transfer from UVU to another school, students should
contact the school that will be receiving the courses.
I am planning on transferring from UVU to another institution, what do I need to do?
In order to see how classes will transfer from UVU to another school, students should
contact the school that will be receiving the courses. However, you can go to Transfer Utah to view how courses may be transferred for schools within Utah.
How do I get credit for my Internship?
1. You will need to find an internship.
2. Make an appointment with Jessica McArthur, Internship Manager
3. Jessica McArthur will approve your internship, how many credits you can get and
you will work with her throughout the semester to make sure you are reaching your
