Registrar's Office
The Registrar’s Office is responsible for helping students with all aspects of registration and student records, including enrolling in classes, adding and dropping classes, withdrawing, evaluating transfer credits, issuing Utah Tech University transcripts, conducting degree audits, and approving students for graduation. Students can perform many of these functions online through the online campus registration system (accessed by logging into the student portal through the
University web page
).
The Registrar’s Office maintains a
Frequently Asked Questions
website to assist students.

New Student Orientation
(Including former High School Concurrent Enrollment Students)
All incoming students enrolling for their first in-person semester at Utah Tech University are required to attend Trailblazer Orientation.
Trailblazer Orientation will be held throughout the summer. Students will receive vital information about campus resources, student services, student life, Utah Tech traditions, and academic advising. Trailblazer Orientation sessions are separated by academic college and students must attend a session when their academic college is present. First-time freshmen must attend Trailblazer Orientation to remove the Orientation Hold from their class registration accounts.
For more information on Trailblazer Orientation, please go to the New Student & Family Programs
website
or contact the New Student & Family Programs office at
newstudent@utahtech.edu
Student Responsibility
It is a student's responsibility to verify the accuracy of their schedule before the add, drop, and fee deadlines each semester.
Students may check their own class schedules
Online in MY UT
At the Academic Advisement Center
At the Registrar’s Office
Adding Classes
Students should register for classes as soon as possible because space in classes can be limited.
Students may add classes once registration has been opened for their class level (senior, junior, etc.) through the 5th day of that semester.
To add a class after the 5th day of the semester, students must submit an ADD card with the instructor’s signature to the Registrar's Office.
No class may be added after the end of the 4th week of the semester.
An instructor’s signature on an ADD card will NOT override placement/prerequisite criteria. To override those requirements, the additional signature of the appropriate department chair or dean is required.
Waitlisting Full Classes
If a class is full (listed as “C” or closed), and a Waitlist seat is available, a student may choose to be Waitlisted online in the student registration system.
The student will be notified if/when a seat becomes available in the class. A notification is sent to the student’s preferred email address. The notification will contain the date and time the waitlist notification expires (The notification window may be reduced during the first week of the semester). Being added to the class is NOT automatic; students must monitor their email account for the notification(s)
and register for the class.
After the waitlist notification expires, if the student has not enrolled in the class, they are automatically dropped from the Waitlist.
Once dropped from the Waitlist, the student must re-select the Waitlist option for that class and begin the process again.
The Waitlist is available through the 4th day of the semester.
Dropping Classes
Students may drop classes online through the end of the 8th week of the semester via the student portal.
If a course has a corequisite, a student cannot drop one class/lab and remain enrolled in the other class/lab.
Dropping a class or classes may affect a student’s financial aid.
A $10 fee per class is assessed for students dropping a course after the first week of the semester.
No refunds are given for classes dropped after the end of the 3rd week of the semester. Classes dropped after the 3rd week of the semester will be marked with a “W” grade on the transcript.
Individual classes may not be dropped after the 8th week of the semester.
Students with extenuating circumstances may request a Complete Withdrawal from the University through the 12th week of the semester.
See Complete Withdrawal below
Auditing Classes
Auditing enables a student to attend a class without receiving a grade or credit. A student who chooses to audit a class must pay all applicable tuition and fees, but no grade or credit will be issued. Once a student has requested a class be changed to audit status, a grade of "AU" will be issued.
A student may enroll in a class as an audit according to the ADD deadlines and procedures.
A student already enrolled in a class may change that class to an audit through the end of the 1st week of the semester.
A fee will be charged for
changing
a course to audit status beginning the 2nd week of the semester.
The request for audit status cannot be reversed.
Students should determine the impact changing a course to “Audit” will have on their financial aid.
Administrative Drops
A student
may
be administratively dropped from a class or all classes for the following reasons:
Not attending on the first day of a class without receiving permission from the instructor.
Registering in courses for which the prerequisites have not been met.
Neglecting to pay all tuition and fees by the tuition due date.
A registration hold was overridden incorrectly.
As part of disciplinary sanctions imposed through the Student Code.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
There is no guarantee a student will be dropped for non-attendance or non-payment.
It is a student’s responsibility to drop classes they do not attend and to verify the accuracy of their class schedule.
Not all instructors drop students who never attend a class, although they are encouraged to do so.
Administrative drops may affect minimum load requirements, financial aid status, graduation requirements, or other areas.
Once a student registers for a class, tuition and fees are assessed, even if the student does not attend any class meetings.
Registering for a class but never attending will impact a student’s financial aid eligibility.
Administrative Drops for Non-Payment
Tuition and fees are due the 1st day of the semester. Students who have not paid or applied for the tuition payment plan may have their classes dropped for non-payment.
When an account is not paid in full by the corresponding deadline, the student may be "dropped for non-payment", meaning all classes will be dropped.  Students whose schedule is canceled will be allowed to re-register on a space-available basis only. Reinstatement into one's original schedule may not be possible.
Complete Withdrawal from the University
A student who experiences serious personal issues (medical, psychological, financial, family, etc.) can request a complete withdrawal from
all
classes through the end of the 12th week of the semester.
Complete withdrawal must be from
ALL
classes, not an individual class or classes.
Complete withdrawals may be requested by filling out the online
Complete Withdrawal
form or by filling out the Complete Withdrawal form at the Registrar's Office.
Complete withdrawal may affect a student’s financial aid. Any possible refunds for a complete withdrawal are issued according to the deadlines published in each semester’s academic calendar.
House Bill 60 (H.B. 60)
Utah residents age 62 or older are eligible to enroll in Utah Tech University classes under House Bill 60 (H.B. 60) regulations:
An admission application is required.
If no students are waitlisted for the class, an instructor can sign an H.B. 60 ADD card beginning the first day of class, on a space available basis.
Submit signed H.B. 60 ADD card to Registrar's Office.
Pay $25 fee plus any course or lab fees.
H.B. 60 students audit courses. No credit or grades are issued for H.B. 60 enrollment. Some classes are not available under H.B. 60, including but not limited to all computer and fitness (FAST) classes.
Faculty are prohibited from adding a H.B. 60 student to any class that has students waitlisted for that course until after the last day for the waitlist.

Residency
Utah Tech University will determine student resident status in accordance with Utah Law and the State Board of Regents policy (
R512, Determination of Resident Status
).  Once you have been admitted to Utah Tech, your official letter of acceptance will include your classification.
*** Nonresident students should be aware that residency does not change automatically. ***
Students who have been classified as nonresident students and who feel they now satisfy the requirements for Utah Resident Status for Tuition Purposes must file an application with the Residency Office (Holland Centennial Commons, 1st floor).  Students will need to complete a
residency application
.  Applications are processed each semester.  Applications for residency must be submitted by the dates listed on the academic calendar.  Applications received after this deadline will not be reviewed or considered. The application will not be completed or processed until the student is admitted to the University.
If an application is denied by the Residency Office, the student may file an appeal to the Residency Appeals Committee.
Any appeal of a residency decision must be filed within 7 calendar days after the email denying residency is sent
Appeals cannot be considered after the end of the 5
th
week of the semester.
To qualify for Utah resident status for tuition purposes, a person is required to:
Be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or an international student with specified Nonimmigrant Visas as outlined in USHE Policy R512 5.3.1.
Document living in Utah for the 12
continuous months prior to the semester in which the student is applying for residency
, as a student or working. For example:
Pay stubs or bank statements spanning that time. Please note, a rental agreement or lease agreement alone does not satisfy this requirement.
If the student was enrolled as an in-person, full-time student at Utah Tech and successfully completed the spring or fall semester directly prior to the semester in which they are applying for residency this will be sufficient for the dates that semester covered. (This does not apply to the summer semester).
Not be claimed as a dependent on most recent tax returns by anyone who is not a resident of Utah.
Obtain a Utah vehicle registration
if a vehicle is owned by the student,
voter registration, and driver's license at least three months prior to the start of the semester for which the student is applying for residency.
Each person who applies for Utah resident status for tuition purposes is considered on the totality of the evidence submitted. Based upon the review of each application, additional documentation may be required, including evidence of employment in Utah, proof of payment of Utah income taxes for the previous year, birth certificate, parent's tax returns, etc.
