Make an appointment with our advisors here: https://utahasia.mywconline.com/

Bring a course description and/or syllabus. We can evaluate the course based on the University's guidelines and determine if it fulfills the requirement.

UAC offers some courses that fulfill General Education requirements. It is highly recommended for students to take the courses sooner, as they will be able to focus on their major courses later on.

Students who complete their Writing (WR2) and Quantitative Reasoning (QA) requirements in their first 30 credits at the university tend to perform better in their subsequent courses and graduate sooner.

Your U of U cumulative GPA must be 2.0 or above for you to stay in good academic standing. You can view your GPA by logging on to CIS (and clicking 'Academic Summary').

The Academic Calendar provides important calendar dates for a specific semester. The Utah Asia Campus calendar can also be found at http://registrar.utah.edu/academic-calendars/index.php under Utah Asia Campus. The current year is listed at the top, and is followed by the next three academic years.

An academic year is divided into a Fall and Spring semester of approximately fifteen weeks each and a Summer term of approximately twelve weeks. It starts in the Fall and goes through the Summer term of the following year. A catalog year is the year a student declares his/her major. The year starts in fall (e.g. The 2018 catalog year is Fall 2018 and Spring 2019). Students are responsible for completing the degree requirements that are listed for their catalog year. When running a Degree Dashboard report for a major, the student should always use the appropriate catalog year. The catalog year is listed
next to the declared major on the student profile section of CIS.

The catalog year is associated with the academic year that a student declares their major/minor. However, students can use any of the five active catalog years: the current academic year and the four previous years. A new catalog year begins every Fall and expires every Summer. Because requirements change from year to year it is important that students and advisors ensure that the correct catalog year is listed in the student’s record, on their degree audit, and on their application for graduation.

1. Non-U.S Citizen
2. Graduated a high school in a non-English speaking country
3. English is a second language

Students meeting the conditions above will be waived from the foreign language  course requirement when they complete WRTG 2010 with a grade of C-/CR or better.

For questions, students should contact Department of World Language and culture

Students may repeat any course they have previously taken at the University as long as it is still offered. However, students may earn credit hours for a given course for graduation only once unless the course has been designated as repeatable for credit. The last grade received is used to compute the student's grade point average (and grades from previous instances of the same course are not considered in computing the GPA, but are shown on the record for the term the course was taken). The grades of I, NC, W, V, or T may neither be removed by repeating the course, nor may they be used to replace a grade in a previous course that has been repeated. All repeated courses are identified as such on the student's academic record.  An exception allowing further retaking beyond the three-attempt limit may be  granted only by the Academic Advisor.

An undergraduate student’s year level or class standing depends on the number of semester hours successfully completed, as follows:

Hours Completed:
0 to 29: First (Freshman)
30 to 59: Second (Sophomore)
60 to 89: Third (Junior)
90 - Graduation: Fourth (Senior)

Undergraduate Students:
12+ hours per term: Full Time
6-11 hours per term: Part Time

You can contact the IT Help Desk at helpdesk@utah.edu

Any undergraduate student who is permitted to register in university courses for credit is eligible to exercise a CR/NC grading option. A student may exercise the option of CR/NC grading for a maximum of 15 semester hours while an undergraduate at the University. A student may not exercise a CR/NC option in Writing 1010 or Writing 2010 or in courses which are required for the baccalaureate degree by the student's major department.

Gap Semesters

Students can take Gap Semesters up to 3 consecutive semesters (including Spring, Summer and Fall Semester) after the last registered semester in the UAC.

Official Leave of Absence

If students are planning to request an extension of their enrollment eligibility for a maximum period of 7 consecutive  semesters (including Spring, Summer and Fall semesters), they would have to apply for official Leave of Absence. Requests are reviewed on a case by case basis by the Registrar's Office.

Adding, Dropping, and Withdrawing from Courses

Students may add or drop any course in a regular 15-week University semester without penalty for a period extending through the second Friday after the first day of the term .  Beginning the following day and continuing through Friday of the first full week beyond the midpoint of the term, students may withdraw from a course or from the University without permission, but a "W" will be recorded on the academic record and applicable tuition and fees will be assessed for each course.  The latter date is the final day on which a student may withdraw from a course or from the University.

Late Add Procedures for Registered Students 

After the Add deadline has passed, students must meet with the Academic Advisor if they want  to do a late add.

Withdrawal from Class(es) 

Students may withdraw from workshops, short term courses, or non-credit courses following the drop deadline for such courses only up to Withdraw from Course(s) deadline. Any withdrawal after the initial drop period will cause a "W" to be recoded on the academic record and applicable tuition and fees will be assessed for the course.  Students taking regular term courses may appeal the deadline for withdrawal in the case of compelling, non-academic emergencies. Students should meet with the Academic Advisor to  discuss this option.

Campus Information Services limits registration to 19 credit hours during the appointment period. Once open enrollment begins, undergraduate students can register for up to 24 credit hours by  logging into Campus Information Services. If you need to register for more than 24 credit hours, email the Registration & Records Division at registration@utah.edu through UMail.

Cost per credit hour based on the number of credits enrolled during a semester, and any approval requirements:

*Summer & Early Spring Courses - $350 per credit hour.

In most cases students seeking a Undergraduate degree become eligible to apply for graduation once 90 credit hours have been completed. There are some occasions when a student will not reach 90 credits but will be ready to graduate.

If a student wants to graduate and needs eligibility to apply online through CIS, the student needs to email graduation@utah.edu from the student’s UMAIL. The email needs to request eligibility to apply online and a brief explanation of the plan to complete requirements by the end of the semester he/she intends to graduate. The request to add eligibility needs to be received by the graduation division at least 24 hours prior to the application deadline for the intended graduation term.

For undergraduate students applying by the due date, three evaluations are done before a degree is awarded. All evaluations follow the Graduation Evaluation Process. The office will check and report any duplicate or repeated courses at this point. The first is an Initial Evaluation – students are sent a simple email referring them to check the Degree Audit report that we have generated for them. The second is the Provisional Evaluation and only students who have deficient requirements are sent an email listing those deficiencies and instructions for changing their graduation term. The last evaluation is done at the end of the semester – students will receive a UMail indicating their status has changed to “awarded” or “denied.” Denied students are given instructions on how to reapply.  Awarded students are mailed their diploma.  Although the final evaluation process takes approximately 4-6 weeks to complete, degrees are awarded daily and diplomas are mailed weekly during this time.

If you applied for graduation for the current commencement year, you can check your status by logging onto Campus Information Services and selecting "View Graduation Status" under the Graduation menu.  Graduation Review Status will indicate one of the following:

• Application Received: Indicates that you have applied to graduate.
• Initial Evaluation in Progress: The Graduation Division is reviewing your academic record.
• Needs Additional Review Eval Pending: The Graduation Division has questions about your record and additional information is needed before the review can be completed.
• Initial Evaluation Complete: The Graduation Division completed an evaluation comparing your academic record with your Degree Audit (formerly known as My Degree Dashboard).
• Provisional Review – In Progress: Occurring in your expected graduation term, the Graduation Division will review your academic record
• Contact Advisor(s): Deficiencies have been noted in your expected graduation term.  Contact your advisor to consider if you should delay graduation or if your requirements can still be completed this term.
• Review Complete On Track: The Graduation Division has noted that your Degree Audit (formerly known as My Degree Dashboard) shows all requirements are either completed or are in progress.
• Review Complete Ready to Award: The Graduation Division has noted that your Degree Audit (formerly Known as My Degree Dashboard) shows all requirements are completed.
• In Final Review: The Graduation Division will be reviewing your Degree Audit to determine if your degree can be awarded.
• Ready to Award: The Graduation Division has noted that all requirements are complete and your degree will be awarded at or after the conferral date.
• Awarded Degree: The Graduation Division has certified that all requirements are completed and your degree is now part of your student record. 
• Denied – Contact Advisor(s): The Graduation Division was unable to certify completion of all requirements.  Contact your advisor(s) to discuss reapplying for graduation in a future term.

No. A University minor can only be received at the same time the student graduates with a major. The minor is an attribute to a degree and not an entity by itself.  Students should declare the minor with the appropriate department before applying for graduation.  Additionally,

• Teaching minors must be completed in conjunction with a teaching major.
• Students can complete more than one minor at a time.
• If a minor is not complete upon graduation it can only be awarded if it is attached to another major completed at a later date.
• Both the major and minor must be complete during our final evaluation for a degree to be awarded. They will not be awarded separately.
• If a student decides not to complete the minor and would like their degree awarded with just their major they must formally request through UMail to graduation@utah.edu to drop their minor before the end of the term.

Graduation is the official awarding of degrees earned while commencement is the event which celebrates the completion of degree programs.

Yes, if you have applied for graduation and earned all graduation requirements, you will receive your diploma without attending the Commencement.

Students who are finishing their last semester at the Asia Campus during the Spring semester will have their degree conferred at the conclusion of the Summer semester.

Prior to awarding a degree, students must complete all coursework necessary for that degree. The Asia Campus Spring semester does not end until after the conferral date for the Spring semester for all campuses. Since there can only be one conferral date per semester, students completing their degree at the conclusion of the Asia Campus Spring semester are awarded degrees at the conclusion of the Summer semester.

Students in this situation can request a Statement of Degree Completion from the Graduation Division as soon as grades have posted from the Asia Campus Spring Semester.
