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."

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.

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.

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.
