A comprehensive, partial-day event that will help you connect meaningfully to UVU's academic and social environment.
All first-time freshmen 20 years of age and younger who have completed online orientation must also attend Jumpstart Orientation.
Jumpstart Orientation will last approximately 5 hours.
(If you haven't already, follow these instructions to sign up for Jumpstart Orientation.)
Here are some plan-ahead tips to help you have an enjoyable and productive campus visit:
Jumpstart includes a campus tour, so comfortable clothing and footwear is a must. Jumpstart also provides the opportunity for you to get your UVID photo while you're on campus. So, take whatever steps you need to have a good hair day! ( If preferred, UVID photos can also be submitted online, view instructions).
A few days before your assigned Jumpstart event you will receive a confirmation email with specific event location and parking instructions (sent to your myUVU email account). Check for that email!
