What is Connections?

USU 1010: 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.

Family members and supporters are invited to experience the Luminary as part of the Aggie community. Join us in cheering on your student as they process to the Quad in this special Utah State tradition. To learn more, contact us at orientation@usu.edu.

"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 that outlines charges based on credit hours. This includes tuition and student fees for campus services.

Fees per Credit

  • Credits 1-11: Cost Varies
  • 12-18 Credits: $474.07
  • More than 19 credits: Cost Varies

Resident Tuition

  • Credits 1-11: Cost Varies
  • 12-18 Credits: $3,915.52
  • More than 19 credits: Cost Varies

Non-Resident Tuition

  • Credits 1-11: Cost Varies
  • 12-18 Credits: $12,354.68
  • More than 19 credits: Cost Varies

Credit Load

Because 12-18 credits are the same price, students can save thousands of dollars in tuition and fees by taking 15 credits each semester, rather than 12. Every student is different, but overall, students who take 15 credits have higher GPAs than those who take fewer.

Credits Resident
12 Credits Per Semester (5 Years) $43,895.90
15 Credits Per Semester (4 Years) $35,116.72
Difference $8,799.18

FERPA

Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (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 website above.

Delegates

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.

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, and add an additional Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) method.
  • Access the student's information in Banner, including their grades and finances, and add or drop classes on the student's behalf.

Academic Advising

As supporters, you play a vital role in supporting your student’s educational journey. Academic advisors serve as valuable partners in this process, helping students forge intentional connections with their strengths, interests, values, and aspirations. Together, advisors and students collaborate to craft an individualized semester-by-semester plan. This personalized roadmap ensures that students maximize their educational opportunities—from the very first semester all the way to graduation.

Encourage your student to schedule regular meetings with their academic advisor—at least once per semester—to discuss their evolving goals. As their plans shift and grow, keeping the advisor informed will help your student make the most of their college experience.

Schedule an appointment with an academic advisor.

Meet with an Academic Advisor Early and Often

Academic Advisors will:

  • Provide accurate information, related to curriculum, graduation requirements, and university policies and procedures.
  • Create semester-by-semester graduation plan in Degree Works and monitor student's progress toward their declared major.
  • Provide information and strategies to utilize available campus resources and services.

Advising

Your student’s advisor will be associated with their specific major or program. Your student can find their advisor by going to their MyUSU Dashboard. Advisor information is one of the Widgets or boxes highlighted on that webpage.

For questions, please call University Advising at 435.797.3373.

Academic Resources

1. Meet With an Exploratory Advisor

It's completely normal for students to be undecided when they start college. Encourage your student to meet with an exploratory advisor to explore their interests, goals, and potential careers. The advisor will guide them in discovering their strengths, while introducing them to majors, minors, and certificates that align with their path toward success.

Exploratory Focus Areas

Choosing a major can be a daunting decision. Your student may not know exactly which major to declare, but they can identify areas of interest. USU created Focus Areas to help students align their interests with groups of major options. This allows students to explore multiple majors with similar career paths.

  • Agriculture, Natural Resources & Environmental Sciences
  • Applied & Clinical Health Sciences
  • Communication, Organizations, & Influence
  • Humanities & Arts
  • Physical Sciences, Engineering & Technology
  • Social Sciences & Human Services

When your student is ready to declare their major, they should meet with the advisor for the new major or program. The advisor will review the major requirements and assist with officially changing the major.

Getting Started with the Disability Resource Center

Many students will need accommodations at some point during their university experience. If your student has used an IEP, 504 plan, or had previous accommodations, the Disability Resource Center (DRC) is an important resource for them. If your student has not used services in the past but they have a medical, physical, or mental health condition that impacts school, the DRC may be able to help.

The Disability Resource Center helps students with disabilities more fully participate in all university programs, services and activities. Students who have, or suspect they may have, a physical, mental health, or learning disability that may require accommodations should contact the DRC as soon as possible.

It is easy to get started. Just schedule an appointment by calling 435.797.2444. During an initial appointment with an Accessibility Consultant, students will discuss their academic goals, the impact of their disability, and any educational barriers they are experiencing. Using this information, along with any documentation that may be needed, appropriate accommodations will be established.

Common accommodations include:

  • Extended time on tests
  • Reduced-distraction testing environment
  • Note takers or assistive note taking technology
  • Audio versions of books
  • Interpreting, transcribing, and captioning
  • Accessible furniture
  • Architectural access
  • Accessible on-campus housing

Since President Glen Taggart launched the URCO grant program in 1975, USU has pioneered exceptional undergraduate research opportunities across all disciplines. Details of the YoUR celebrations can be found at research.usu.edu/your.

What is YoUR?

The Year of Undergraduate Research (YoUR) is a campus-wide celebration showcasing USU's historic commitment while building toward future opportunities. Throughout 2025, special events will highlight student researchers' achievements past and present. USU was among the first public universities to establish centralized undergraduate research support, helping thousands of students develop critical skills and prepare for successful careers. You can see some of the many success stories from our undergraduate researchers past and present at research.usu.edu/50-faces-of-research.

Why Research Matters for Your Student

Undergraduate research provides benefits that complement classroom learning by developing critical thinking abilities, providing faculty mentorship, building career-ready skills, creating networking opportunities, enhancing graduate school applications, and allowing students to contribute to their fields.

"Because of undergraduate research, I learned what career I want to go into."

Marcus Hayden, Undergraduate Research Alumni
