Utah State University Admissions

Applications to the undergraduate programs are accepted for fall, spring and summer semesters. Students wishing to enter USU in the fall following graduation should apply as early in their senior year as possible in order to allow time for the application and financial aid to be processed but may apply as late as April 1. In addition to the application form and fee, students must provide official, sealed high school transcripts and ACT or SAT scores. Applications can be submitted on-line.

The university uses an index score based on test scores and GPA to determine admissions eligibility. Though there are generally minimum GPA and standardized test score requirements, students are considered on an individual basis. Students should have completed four years of English, three years of mathematics, three years of science, one year of American history, two years of the same foreign language, and two additional years of electives. It is strongly recommended that students take mathematics at least up to trigonometry.

Applicants to the graduate school will be required to submit the application and fee along with appropriate standardized test scores such as the GRE or GMAT along with transcripts from all undergraduate institutions. The school also requires three letters of recommendation but all that the applicant needs to do is include the names and email addresses on the appropriate lines on the application and the school will contact them directly for the recommendations. Prospective students should also check with the program of choice to make sure that there are no additional requirements.

International students and students wishing to transfer from another institution have additional admissions requirements and should refer to the university in order to determine what is necessary in order to be accepted for enrollment.
