Academic Policies and Procedures

This online manual is a compilation of USU academic policies and procedures. In the past, such information was not consolidated and could be found only by examining a variety of sources, such as the General Catalog, Advisor Handbook, the University Policy Manual, The Code of Policies and Procedures for Students, Executive Memorandums, and minutes from the Educational Policies Committee and the Faculty Senate. This online manual was developed to provide a single source which can be easily used by faculty, staff, and students to answer questions regarding USU’s academic policies and procedures.

Questions relating to this website, suggested revisions to policies, and ideas for policies to be added should be directed to the Registrar’s Office.
