Make the Most of Your Aggie Family

The USU Parent & Family Programs Mission is to serve families through programming designed to equip parents with resources they need to help their student succeed at Utah State University. We do this by providing Parent Orientation, Parent Publications & Podcasts, and Deferment & Notification of Leave Outreach. We provide parents and families with these resources to promote student success and independence at any stage in their student’s academic career at Utah State University.

2023-2024 Academic Year at a Glance

Students should complete their new student orientation the semester leading up to their start at USU. Students are also encouraged to take USU 1010 Connections, offered as a presemester course in the summer and as a half semester course during fall and spring.

Notification of Leave and Deferral

The Center for Academic Belonging and Excellence assists undergraduate students who have already been attending USU who wish to take a break from their studies for one or more semesters (other than summer semester), for a variety of reasons.

Incoming students who have not yet started at USU who need to defer their admission should visit the USU Admissions deferral page.
