Step 2

Pay the $50 nonrefundable application fee with a credit or debit card.

Step 3

After you fill out the application and paid the application fee, you can submit the application and submit your supplemental items.

After you have paid the application fee and submitted the application, you will need to log back into your USU Application Portal and upload the supplemental items required for your specific prospective undergraduate program. The supplemental items section of the application can take 24 to 48 hours to appear after submitting the application.

Unless otherwise specified, please submit all supplemental items 10-14 business days before the application deadline to make sure there is enough time to process your application. 

Step 5

Send your official transcripts to Utah State University through postal mail, in your institution's sealed envelope, or electronically through National Student Clearinghouse.

If by postal mail, have your institution send your transcript directly to International Undergraduate Admissions, or forward your transcript in the original, unopened envelope provided by the institution. 

Official transcripts should be mailed to:
International Undergraduate Admissions
Utah State University
9545 Old Main Hill
Logan, UT 84322-9545

If by electronic through National Student Clearinghouse, official transcripts from institutions in the U.S. can be emailed to intlugradtranscript@usu.edu through your prior institution's Registrar's Office.

Official high school/secondary school transcripts with grades from the last three years with a minimum GPA of 2.7 or 660 total on the General Education Development (GED) exam (550 Battery Average prior to 2014). Some majors may have a higher GPA or GED requirement.
