Preparations are in full swing as UVU gears up for its first semester as a university, with classes beginning August 27.
Although Fall semester has already seen record enrollment, particularly in registration for trades classes such as Technology Management, August 27 will also begin the first semester for 58 new faculty members. Having new faculty will keep UVU’s student-to-teacher ratio low and make it easier for students to take the classes they want, but students are still advised to register as soon as possible in order to have their ideal schedule.
“We’re optimistic about the outlook of this first semester as UVU,” said UVU Interim President Elizabeth Hitch. “We expect record enrollments and are working hard to meet the needs of our community.”
