Q:
|
If my son/daughter is taking a concurrent enrollment class from UVU does he/she need to apply for admission to UVU?
|
|
A:
|
If a student is enrolled during his/her senior year
then he/she does not need to apply for admission. However, all other
"getting started" tasks must still be done (ie: English/Math
competency, Webstart, personal interview with Academic Advisor, and
registration for classes on UVU web site.) Concurrent enrollment
students will also need to submit any scholarship applications by
February 1st.
|
|
Q:
|
Will concurrent enrollment classes be acceptable as college credit anywhere?
|
|
A:
|
All
Utah public colleges and universities will accept concurrent enrollment
credit. However, many private institutions such as; BYU and BYU-Idaho
will accept it only if a two year Associate Degree has been completed.
|
|
Q:
|
What ACT score and GPA is needed to get into UVU?
|
|
A:
|
UVU
is an open-door college. That means that anyone who applies will be
admitted. ACT or SAT test scores are now required for registration. All
students can still attend UVU regardless of your scores. These scores
are important if you are going to apply for scholarships or financial
aid.
|
|
Q:
|
How well do the General Education classes transfer to other schools?
|
|
A:
|
If you complete UVU's General Education requirements they will be accepted by all Utah State run schools
as fulfilling their General Education requirements. They will also be
accepted by BYU as meeting their GE requirements providing you have
completed an Associate Degree at UVU. (Caution: this does not apply to
the Associate of Applied Science Degree, which is preparing the student
for a job, and does not satisfy lower level Bachelor Degree
requirements.)
|
|
Q:
|
If
my son/daughter plans on a major for which you do not have a Bachelor
Degree, why should he/she consider UVU rather that go directly to the
school which offers the Bachelor program that he/she wants?
|
|
A:
|
In
spite of a full decade of explosive growth, UVU still offers a world
of education on a personal level. Smaller class size helps for a more
natural transition from high school to college and can help in the
success of your student's college career even if they choose to
transfer.
|
|
Q:
|
My son/daughter has a learning disability. Do you have any special help for him/her?
|
|
A:
|
No.
However, there are dozens of privately-owned student housing complexes
near UVU with room for thousands of students within 10 minutes of
campus. UVU can assist you in finding housing for your student that
has been pre-approved by our Housing Office.
|
|
Q:
|
My
son/daughter is not sure that he/she wants a four-year Bachelor degree.
What types of tow-year degree programs does UVU offer?
|
|
A:
|
Most
of UVU's vocational/trades type programs offer a two-year degree
called the Associate of Applied Science Degree. You can get this degree
in all housing construction trades, business, office technologies,
computers, and many other areas. This degree is available because
certain employers are ready to hire you after two year degree training
and do not require a Bachelor's Degree.
|
|
Q:
|
How do I schedule a campus visit with my son/daughter and talk to someone in a specific academic department?
|
|
A:
|
Call
the Prospective Student Services Office at (801)863-8811 to arrange a
tour of the campus and also arrange to meet with specific departments.
|
|
Q:
|
UVU is still increasing. When will you put a cap on student enrollment?
|
|
A:
|
Our
current policy (which we do not see changing in the immediate future)
allows for all who wish to attend to have that opportunity. However,
space in classes is limited and not guaranteed. Students should not
wait to register for classes late in the registration period. The
classes he/she chooses may already be filled.
|
|
Q:
|
Is it true that UVU has gone to Division I in athletics?
|
|
A:
|
Yes
! Anyone desiring to play intercollegiate sports at UVU must meet NCAA
requirements. Contact the specific coach for more information. |
