Prior to starting the application process, applicants are encouraged to review all the program information found on the main, application, curriculum, and FAQ pages.

Acceptance to UVU is required prior to submitting an application to the UVU Wasatch Resort Management (WARM) Program. This includes transferring all credits from other institutions to UVU. Once UVU receives your transcripts, the transfer credit office will take 2-4 weeks to process the transcripts. Application to the University can be done online at the UVU admissions page. The cost to apply to UVU is $35 for US nationals and $115 for international students. All UVU deadlines and fees apply. Students are encouraged to apply to UVU early (by February 6th or June 2nd for late applicants) so all transfer credits can be evaluated before the UVU Wasatch Resort Management (WARM) Program application deadlines.

Transfer credits are evaluated only by the UVU Transfer Credit Office, not by the UVU Wasatch Resort Management (WARM) Program.

All applicants must submit an updated resume that contains, at minimum, a detailed description of any applicant work experience over the past 5 years. Resumes will be used in the admissions process.

Prior work experience in the hospitality industry is one of many considerations in the WARM admissions process.  Those with limited or no experience are still encouraged to apply.

• Be enrolled full-time the two semesters prior to starting spring semester. If entering with the fall cohort, this means international students are ideally enrolled in live, full-time courses at an approved US educational institution over the previous summer.  If you have note enrolled in summer courses prior to entering the program in the fall, talk to the WARM program coordinator to see how this will affect you.
• Complete of an associates degree prior to entering the program. This is intended to reset the allowed amount of full-time CPT prior to graduation thus ensuring a year of optional practical training (OPT) is still available to program graduates.
