First Things First...

Now that you have been accepted at UVU, the most important thing is getting to know the campus and any deadlines you will have.

Get to know this website: http://www.uvu.edu/
You will be visiting it a lot in the years to come!

You should have received an e-mail with your UV ID number. Probably the most important number you will need to know at UVU! That ID will log you into UVLink, the Library website, etc. This e-mail will also detail all of the steps that you will need to take in the next few months before you start school. FOLLOW THOSE INSTRUCTIONS!

You are definitely in for a visit to the campus One Stop. You can submit your applications, get your transcript, get a parking pass, pay your tuition and fees, and much more!

Once you visit One Stop, you can head over to Campus Connection and get your UV One Card (student ID card)! It will have your student number on it so you won't forget it (bonus!) You will use your ID for purchasing tickets to UVU events, checking things out from the library, taking tests in the testing center, and you can even pay a fee to have it as your UTA bus pass as well!

I highly recommend opening a checking account with Utah Community Credit Union (UCCU). There is a branch on campus in the Student Center (SC). If you open an account there, you can have your student ID double as your debit card. It makes for one less card you have to carry (or it could be a big hassle if you lose it; then it would be like losing 2 cards at once).

Also very important: Meet with your academic advisor! Your advisor is your best source for what you need to do in school. He or she can help you plan out your semesters, recommend classes for you to take, and just be there to answer any questions you may have! In your first e-mail from UVU, you should be told who your advisor is--you are required to meet with your advisor before you can register for classes.
