1. Create Your USU Password
Your
USU password
requires you to know your A-Number and is used to log in to most USU systems.
2. Submit Your FAFSA (optional)
The FAFSA 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.
3. Apply for Additional Scholarships (optional)
You are already considered for academic scholarships if you applied by the deadline, but many
non-academic awards
and
additional scholarships
require a separate application and will have different deadlines.

Confirm Your Enrollment
(Coming to USU now)
Letting us know you are coming will secure your spot at USU, accept institutional scholarships offered by Utah State, and allow you to complete remaining next steps.

A deferral is for admitted students who have not started classes at USU, and need to delay their admission to a future semester.
Decline Your Offer

Declining your admissions offer withdraws your USU application, deactivates Admissions scholarships, and cancels your on-campus housing.
