Each guide has class registration suggestions for your first semester. These guides will tell you how to look up your previous credits and test scores, how to see how credits transfer to USU, how to know if USU has received AP and IB scores and how they count at USU, and much more. Feel free to click on your chosen major or click on multiple majors if you are interested in exploring different options. We have also put together a FAQ page that can help answer questions as well.
