HELPFUL TIPS

Advising: If you have questions and concerns, contact appropriate department members. This is your graduate degree; make sure the program is a good match in terms of your interests and ultimate goals.

Application: Apply early. Sometimes GRE scores, transcripts, and letters of recommendation can be lost in the mail or slow to arrive. Moreover, the staff of the graduate school needs time to process application materials for departments across the campus. It is your responsibility to check that all of your required materials have arrived at USU. Nominations for the key graduate school fellowships occur near the end of February: remember your application must be complete to be considered.

Registration: We will hold places for you in our graduate classes but you will want to register early for language classes which tend to fill up quickly. Try to arrive in Logan a few weeks before the semester begins so you can take care of registration.

Housing: Start looking for housing early in the summer before the fall semester you intend to enroll. Visiting Logan and looking for an apartment or house for yourself is the best approach. Many students, however, must secure housing over the telephone. Call the housing office or contact one of the apartment finding services listed in the Logan yellow pages. Additionally, current graduate students may be of some assistance in helping you locate housing.

Visit: If at all possible, contact us and plan to visit Logan and Utah State University before making a final decision about attending. Meet your potential advisor, talk to current graduate students, and examine the city. Logan is situated in a scenic mountain valley and provides year-round activities for those who like the outdoors, especially hiking, fishing, camping, and winter sports. Salt Lake City, a 90-minute drive from Logan, offers many of the attractions of a larger metropolitan community.
