Your USU password requires you to know your A-Number and is used to log in to most USU systems.
This allows USU to offer you the maximum amount of federal, state, and institutional aid to help pay for school. Completing the FAFSA usually takes less than an hour and can pay big dividends.
You are already considered for academic scholarships if you applied by the deadline, but many non-academic awards and additional scholarships require a separate application and will have different deadlines.
Confirm your enrollment to complete the following steps:
Although living on campus for first-year students is not required, sign a contract early. On-campus housing can fill up quickly and spaces are not guaranteed.
This four-module orientation is completed over the course of several months, giving you information at the time you need it. Orientation for students opens:
- Fall & summer semesters: Opens in February
- Spring semester: Opens in October
Orientation will tell you everything you need to select classes, speak with your academic advisor, and register on time. Once you register for classes, a new USU email account will be created for you, and all official communication will be sent to that account during your time at USU.
Pay your tuition and fees by the deadline each semester you enroll. Orientation will explain how to pay the remainder by the deadline for your first semester.
