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: $258.07
- 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 USU MyID, 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.
USU Student Association (USUSA)
Every student at USU is a member of the student association. As such, they can actively participate in all activities, committees, clubs, events, and initiatives. Participation fosters a sense of belonging and community, develops skills highly sought after by employers, and encourages personal growth and exploration beyond academics. USUSA is an organization made by the students, for the students.

CARE Referral/Student of Concern Report
If you are worried about a student's well-being, safety, or ability to succeed at USU, you can submit a CARE Referral/Student of Concern Report to connect them with the support they may need. This can include concerns about mental health, academic struggles, financial hardships, food or housing insecurity, or any other significant challenges impacting their student experience. Reports can be submitted by students, faculty, staff, or family members at any time. The CARE Office will review the concern and provide outreach, resources, and assistance as appropriate.
To submit a report, visit the Care Office website.
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

- Applied & Clinical Health Sciences
- Communication, Organizations, & Influence
- Humanities & Arts
- Physical Sciences, Engineering & Technology

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

"Working with the DRC has been an extremely helpful resource for me while I have been attending USU. The staff are all very friendly, and work to find solutions to the challenges you may face while working through school. Without some of my accommodations I would not be as well off in my academic career."
