Major Change Requests
Students complete the Undergraduate Change of Matriculation Form to switch majors. This form is available at usu.edu/registrar/files/forms/change-of-matriculation.pdf.
Non-Degree Seeking Students
The Non-Degree Seeking Application allows students in certain situations to take USU classes without being admitted to a degree program. This status is generally intended for students wishing to take classes for personal enrichment, to take prerequisites for a graduate program or to audit classes.
In some cases, students are allowed to enroll as non-degree students to improve their academic record in hopes that they might qualify for admissions into a degree program at a later time. Enrolling as a non-degree student does not automatically qualify a student to become degree-seeking. To be accepted into a degree program, a student must apply as a degree-seeking student and meet the regular admission standards.
The following restrictions apply to non-degree seeking applicants:
- Applicants with an obtained bachelor’s degree generally pay graduate level tuition, even for undergraduate level courses*.
- Use of federal financial aid is generally not allowed.
- If applicable, students should apply for degree-seeking status as soon as possible.
- Graduate students may only take 12 credits non-degree seeking and have them count toward a USU graduate degree program.
*In some instances, a student who has graduated with a bachelor’s degree may need to return to school to take additional undergraduate courses for employment or other reasons. If the student does not intend to receive a second bachelor’s degree, he or she may apply for Undergraduate Degree Enrichment as a non-degree seeking undergraduate student. If approved, the student may pay undergraduate tuition and fees. Under this option, a maximum of 9 additional undergraduate semester credits may be taken within a five-year period. Students who wish to take additional undergraduate courses must apply for a second bachelor’s degree or be admitted as a non-degree seeking graduate student and pay graduate tuition.

Intensive English Language Institute
An applicant who does not provide proof of English language proficiency through one of the options above must take the English Language Placement Exam, given by USU’s Intensive English Language Institute (IELI), if admitted. The exam will determine if you meet USU’s English language proficiency requirement or your place in one of four class levels of English instruction. You will be required to complete any required intensive English language courses before beginning other academic course work.
*Scores that are more than 2 years old are not accepted.
**The IELI placement exam may be taken upon arrival at USU.
Criminal History Disclosure Requirement
All undergraduate applicants are required to disclose if they have ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor other than a minor traffic violation, or if any such charge is currently pending against them. Applicants who have a criminal history are required to complete a background questionnaire for each offense. If an applicant’s answer changes prior to enrollment, they must promptly contact the Office of Admissions to provide an explanation. By submitting the questionnaire, the applicant consents to Utah State University obtaining information from appropriate persons to validate or otherwise learn more about the conduct in order to make appropriate education-related decisions. Specifically, the applicant authorizes the pertinent governmental agencies to disclose to appropriate officials at Utah State or its agents the facts and circumstances of the applicant’s criminal conviction(s), incarceration(s), probation(s) and/or parole(s). Finally, the applicant consents to permit Utah State University to make an informed decision regarding their application for admission to Utah State. Failure to disclose all criminal history may result in denial of admission or dismissal from the university.
Academic Action Disclosure Requirement
All undergraduate applicants are required to disclose if they have ever been expelled, suspended, disciplined, placed on probation by, or are ineligible to return to, any institution of learning attended, including without limitation, a college, academy, technical or trade school, university, or grade school beyond grade eight. Applicants who have had any of these actions taken against them are required to provide a detailed statement of explanation. Failure to disclose may result in denial of admission or dismissal from the university. By submitting the statement, the applicant consents to Utah State University obtaining information from appropriate persons to validate or otherwise learn more about the conduct in order to make appropriate education-related decisions. Finally, the applicant consents to permit Utah State University to make an informed decision regarding their application for admission to Utah State.
Please note that academic performance is not the sole criterion for admission to the university. The university may evaluate an applicant’s behavior to determine their ability to maintain the standards of academic and professional conduct expected at the university.
Related Information
Admission Deferment
Newly accepted first-year, transfer, or readmitted students who wish to defer their start date to a later semester may request to do so (without reapplying) by submitting an online Deferment Request (see Deferments at usu.edu/admissions for more information). Deferment requests are due no later than the last week of classes of the semester for which the student was initially admitted. Deferments are generally granted for a total of one year. However, they may be granted for up to three years for those participating in official assignments such as military, church, or humanitarian service. If requesting a deferment for more than one year, the student must submit an official letter of assignment. All deferment requests must be approved by the Admissions Office.
Questions regarding deferment should be directed to the Admissions Office located in the TSC 102, by phone at (435) 797-1079, or email at admit@usu.edu.
International students must contact the office of Global Engagement located in Military Science 115, by phone at 435-797-1124 or by email at global.engagement@usu.edu.
Graduate students contact their Graduate Program Coordinator to submit a deferment request.
Exploratory Program
Newly admitted students with less than 60 semester credits, who meet the university admission standards, but who have not declared a major or who do not qualify for enrollment into one of the academic colleges, are automatically placed in the Exploratory Program. No degrees are offered through the Exploratory Program. Exploratory students who have not declared a major by the time they complete 45 semester credits will be required to sign an institutional agreement with the Office of Exploratory Advising.
Earned Admission
First-year students with a high school GPA below the 2.8 traditional admission standard AND transfer students with fewer than 24 credits, may qualify for admission to USU by completing the Earned Admission path requirements. The Earned Admission path requires students to pass a student success class prior to attending USU. The course is provided by a third-party company called StraighterLine. The course is designed to help students develop the necessary skills to be successful at USU. Upon completion of the course, students are admitted to USU.
The student success course must be completed with a passing grade by the completion deadline for the semester the student desires to enroll at USU. Students do not need to complete the student success course before they register for regular USU classes, do orientation, apply for FAFSA, or sign up for housing (if needed). These steps can be done while the student is in the process of completing the student success course.
The following eligibility requirements must be met:
- Have a cumulative high school GPA below 2.8.
- Be a Domestic U.S. Student (International Students are currently not eligible for this path).
- Be an incoming first-time first-year student or a transfer student with less than 24 post high school credits (transfer students with 24 or more post high school credits and returning students are currently not eligible for the Earned Admission path).
- Have applied for admission to USU within the past year (apply at applynow.usu.edu).
- Receive a formal offer from the Admissions Office to participate in the Earned Admission path.
Students that pursue the Earned Admission path must agree to the following:
- I understand that my admission to the university is contingent on my completing the student success course by the deadline. The student success course is provided by a third party, StraighterLine, and I am not officially a Utah State University student until I begin my first semester.
- I understand that I need to enroll in and begin the student success course by the posted deadline for the semester I wish to enroll.
- I understand that my USU courses will be dropped if I do not pass the student success course by the deadline for the semester I wish to enroll.
- I understand that I can work with USU to change my admission offer to the next available semester if needed.
- I understand that I am responsible to cancel my StraighterLine subscription after I’ve completed my student success course.
- I understand that I should only complete the sign-up process for housing if I feel confident that I can complete the student success course prior to the deadline for the semester.
