You cannot register for classes until your advisor releases the registration hold. To locate your advisor, go to <strong>uvu</strong>.<strong>edu</strong> and click<br />

“Find Your Advisor” or visit <strong>uvu</strong>.<strong>edu</strong>/advising.<br />

All students are required to attend a half-day mandatory orientation before registering for classes. You may register for an<br />

orientation session by visiting <strong>uvu</strong>.<strong>edu</strong>/orientation. Orientation sessions fill up quickly; register early to guarantee your spot.<br />

Orientation events are designed to make your transition to university life a success and introduce you to the many services,<br />

programs and resources available at UVU.<br />

REGISTER FOR CLASSES<br />

After your advisor has cleared you and you have attended the mandatory orientation meeting, log on to UVLink, go to the “<strong>Student</strong>”<br />

HOUSING:<br />

<strong>Student</strong> housing information is available at <strong>uvu</strong>.<strong>edu</strong>/housing. UVU<br />

does not own or manage any housing or dormitory options on<br />

PARKING PERMITS:<br />

Parking permits are required to park anywhere on UVU’s Orem<br />

technology and assigns a digital permit to your vehicle’s license<br />

plate at the time of permit purchase. Parking permits are available<br />

from the parking office at 936 S. 400 West or online at<br />

<strong>uvu</strong>.<strong>edu</strong>/parking. The website also provides parking maps,<br />

UVU will wait for you! This is called deferred admission, created<br />

for those who need time off for a humanitarian or religious<br />

mission, military service, health issues or financial or family<br />

responsibilities. By applying before you go, you can hold your<br />

scholarship, get priority registration upon returning, designate<br />

someone to register for classes for you, access financial aid or<br />

veterans benefits and determine your future class sch<strong>edu</strong>le.<br />
