Conference Details

Registration for USULC is on an invitation-only basis. If you are interested in attending, please contact the Admissions Office at admissionsevents@usu.edu or 1-800-488-8108. If an invitation is extended to register for the conference, advisors will receive further directions on the pre-registration and registration process.

Invited student government groups can reserve their spot through a first-come-first-serve preregistration process starting January 22 and by paying a $200 security deposit by March 7. Groups who have not paid the security deposit by March 7 will be moved to the back of the waitlist with participation subject to space availability. Additionally, groups who do not acquire a spot for their desired week can be placed on a waitlist.

Security deposits will be refunded to group advisors at the conclusion of the conference once lost housing keys, lockouts, parking passes, and any facility damages are assessed and deducted from the deposit.

Please see the complete registration timeline below.

USULC cost of attendance is $250 per student, which includes room and board for 2 nights, 3 meals a day, access to conference materials, a T-shirt, and all activities. Groups looking to spend an extra night on the USU campus will be charged an additional $20 per night, per student. Registration costs for school advisors and chaperones are covered by Utah State University.

The general registration process must be completed with final numbers and participant information submitted by May 12. Advisors may swap a new participant for an old participant until the end of day on May 19 when registration closes, and all conference registration payments are due. Please note that conference payments are non-refundable from this date forward.

Please see the complete registration timeline below.

Each group attending USULC must have an advisor at the conference with them at all times. If the student government advisor is not available the week of the conference, an alternate advisor is welcome and required to attend. There is no cost for advisor(s) in attendance.

Our conference concept invites advisors to be here to spend quality time with their students and have quality planning time for the new school year. A daily advisor meeting will occur over breakfast to be sure that you have a good idea of what each day will entail.

Advisors are in charge of keeping track of their students (remain on time, make the most of planning and processing time, enforce curfew, enforcing the code of conduct, etc.).

Students and advisors stay in on-campus housing. Housing materials and keys are given at conference check-in and are required to be returned at conference checkout. Room assignments will be made by Admissions staff based on final registration information due two weeks before the conference start date. Students will be sharing a room/suite with others from their same school wherever possible. Advisors will be in the same building as their students, but not in the same room/suite.

All participants will provide their own transportation to and from the USU campus, however, USU is excited to offer one USULC Transportation Grant per week of the conference for school groups with significant financial need. If your group is in need of financial assistance for transportation to the USU Logan Campus, please reach out to admissionsevents@usu.edu.

Parking details, whether you have cars or a bus, will be provided in the registration confirmation email. Any transportation needs for various activities throughout the conference will be provided by USU.

If you have general questions about USULC, please contact the Admissions Office at admissionsevents@usu.edu or 1-800-488-8108.

For registration-specific questions, please contact register.online@usu.edu or 1-435-797-0421.
