After You are Admitted

Create Your USU Password

Your USU password requires you to know your A-Number and is used to log into most USU systems.

Submit Your FAFSA (optional)

This allows USU to offer you the maximum amount of federal, state, and institutional aid to help pay for school. Completing the FAFSA usually takes less than an hour and can pay big dividends.

Apply for Additional Scholarships (optional)

You are already considered for academic scholarships if you applied by the deadline, but many nonacademic awards and additional scholarships require a separate application and will have different deadlines.

Begin Orientation Online **

The five-module orientation is completed over the course of several months, giving you information at the time you need it. Orientation for students starting summer or fall opens in mid-February.

** Technical education students will only complete Modules 1 and 2.

Meet with an Academic Advisor

We encourage you to speak with an academic advisor prior to registering for classes.

Register for Classes

Orientation will tell you everything you need to select classes, speak with your academic advisor, and register on time. Once you register for class, a new USU email account will be created for you, and all official communication will be sent to that account during your time at USU.

Sign a Contract for On-Campus Housing (optional) **

On-Campus Housing contracts are available to incoming students who pay the enrollment deposit. Although living on campus for first-year students is not required, it is encouraged. National studies have consistently shown that students living on campus have higher GPAs and graduation success rates.

** Students don't need to register for classes or meet with an advisor in order to sign up for housing.

Pay Tuition and Fees

Orientation will explain how tuition and fees work. Or reach out to the student financial support to walk you through the process and answer all of your questions.
