FERPA (Student Privacy Rights)
Learn about how student education records are protected under federal regulations.
FERPA
FERPA stands for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The act came about in 1974 and has been amended periodically since that time. Essentially, FERPA governs the disclosure of and access to student educational records.
Many records exist and are maintained across the University that are directly related to students. UVU, in accordance with FERPA, protects student education records and information from unauthorized disclosure.

Late Add (form)
Learn how to add get permissions and add a class late to your schedule.
Late Add
The Registration Dates and Deadlines page outlines the date ranges and limits for adding and dropping classes in the full semester, the 7-week blocks, and for weekend classes. The dates for late registration are relative to the duration of a class and its start date.
After the date when the waitlist period ends, students wanting to add a class may do so with the permission of the instructor. A $45 late registration fee will be assessed for each class added late.
See Registration Dates and Deadlines
Process
Step 1
Student must contact the instructor and make a request to add the class. If the instructor approves, they will grant the authorization in the registration system.
Step 2
Once the authorization is in place, students may register online through myUVU. (This process will not override any unmet prerequisites or classroom limits for that course.)
Step 3
Students must pay the late-add fee and any additional tuition and fees incurred by registration.
Exception to Late Add
After the 'Last Day to Add' found in the Registration Dates and Deadlines, adding a class is considered very late and will only be allowed by exception. Approval must be given in writing by the department that offers the course.
Late Add Exception Form

Leave of Absence
At some point in your career at Utah Valley University, you may need to take some time away from your studies- and that is okay! Many students find that taking a leave of absence can be helpful. This time allows for students to focus their energy and time on recovery, self-care, self-improvement, or take care of things that need prioritizing.

Petitions (form)
Late Withdrawal, Record Adjustments, Refunds, and Academic Renewal.
Late Withdrawal, Record Adjustment, and Refunds
- We know that sometimes classes are just plain hard - trust us, we've been there. Petitions are not for these times. When students perform poorly and fall short of the grade they want or need, the repeat policy allows students to try again for a better grade.
- We also know that life happens, and sometimes things occur that no one can control. We call these "extenuating circ*mstances" and it is for these circ*mstances that petitions are available.
- When life happens, students have the opportunity to petition for certain changes by providing documents to prove what has happened and how it was out of their control.
These petitions require accompanying documentation.
Academic Renewal
- The purpose of academic renewal is to assist students who have experienced a period of low GPA. Students can use academic renewal to remove one semester of previous undergraduate coursework from their GPA. Students may petition the Registrar’s Office for academic renewal only one time during their enrollment at the University. Students who are granted academic renewal are not eligible for academic honors status.

Refund

Academic Renewal

Section Swap (form)

Section Swap
A section swap is the process of moving a student from one section of a class to another section (often with a different instructor) of the same class after add/drop deadlines have passed.
