Utah State University Blanding

What is Connections?

USU 1010: University Connections is a two-credit academic course designed to ease your student's transition to Utah State. Connections is optional but highly recommended to learn exactly what it takes to be successful at USU and beyond. The course ends with a unique luminary procession — a reverse image of the commencement ceremony that will signify the end of their college career — a favorite of many Aggies.

"My instructor was very effective in helping me transition to Utah State University. She helped us know how to read a class syllabus and encouraged us to stay organized. She gave us a taste of different programs we can become involved in, such as the Honors Program, the Service-Learning Program, and the Study Abroad Program."

Affordability

Undergraduate Cost of Attendance

Paying for college can be a source of apprehension for both parents and students. Let us take some of the mystery out of the process by explaining the charges you can expect.

Learn more at USU Financial Support.

Tuition & Fees

Each year the university publishes a tuition and fee table outlining charges students pay based on the number of credits they take. These charts show not only tuition, but also student fees each student pays per semester to maintain campus services and resources. Some courses also have additional course fees for things not covered by tuition, such as lab supplies or PE equipment.

  12+ Credits (Full-Time)
65 Credits and Under $2,451
More than 65 Credits $4,174

Tuition and fees per semester at Moab, Blanding, and Eastern campuses. Please see
Cost of Attendance for full tuition information.

Student Money Management Center

The Student Money Management Center (SMMC) helps students assess where they are financially, make plans for where they want to be, and achieve what they want to accomplish. Financial coaches provide free, one-on-one counseling sessions to USU Blanding students.

Savvy Ways to Invest in your Future

Encourage your student to:

  1. Complete the FAFSA (school code: 003677)
  2. Apply for scholarships
  3. Meet with a Financial Coach

Federal Aid (FAFSA)

Complete the FAFSA as early as possible to help you plan financially for the upcoming school year and meet tuition deadlines. The application is free and online at fafsa.gov. Federal Aid Counselors can answer questions about federal aid, and help you and your student navigate the process of paying for college.

Grants

Free money funded by the government.

Federal Work Study

Job-based funding for students with financial need that allows them to earn money to help pay education expenses. FAFSA submission is required.

Educational Loans

Borrowed money that is required to be repaid later on. Student loans, private loans, and parent loans are available to help cover education-related expenses.

Scholarships

With a few exceptions, incoming student scholarships have been awarded by the time Aggie Orientation begins. Incoming students were awarded scholarships according to the parameters listed on the admissions page, provided they applied to USU by the deadline. Incoming and continuing students can apply for USU college and departmental scholarships, as well as third-party private awards, by accessing the USU General Scholarship Application. 

Students can check with their local city offices, financial institutions, and employers to see if they offer scholarships.

Student Employment

The Career Design Center oversees student employment, and will assist students finding on-campus, off-campus, and work-study jobs through the Aggie Handshake link in the MyUSU portal. It is recommended that full-time students work no more than 20 hours per week in order to maintain balance.

Students can authorize other individuals, such as parents or grandparents, to create their own login credentials to view and make payments on the student’s behalf.

Payment Plans

Students may choose to pay monthly installments to cover tuition, student body, and class fees — plus on-campus housing and meal plans — throughout the semester, rather than all at once.

FERPA

What is FERPA?

FERPA is a U.S. federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records. FERPA protects your student’s rights by ensuring we don’t release any information to anyone without their consent; that includes you, as parents and guardians. In order for you to have access to this information, your student will need to go to myid.usu.edu, and assign you as a delegate. For more information, please visit the FERPA information page

What Can Delegates Do?

A delegate may act on a student’s behalf at USU, which means a delegate may:

  • Have full access to the student's information.
  • Change or update the student's information, including their password.
  • Access the student's information in Banner (Access), including their grades and finances, and add or drop classes on the student's behalf.

A few things you may want to know about delegates:

  • The student will need to create a security phrase in order to create a delegate.
  • Students should designate only those they can trust as their delegate(s) and/or entrust those individuals with their security phrase.

What is a Delegate?

As a supporter, in order to contact any university office and request student information, you must be a delegate. A delegate is especially useful for, but not limited to, students who may be taking a leave of absence from the university for church or military service. If your student plans to take a leave of absence, a delegate can assist them in making a smooth transition back to USU by acting on their behalf.

The adding, changing, or removing of a security phrase and/or delegates is the sole responsibility of the student.

USU Student Association (USUSA)

USUSA is an organization made by the students, for the students, because of the students. Every student at USU is a member of the association and can actively participate in all activities, committees, clubs, events, and initiatives.
