How do I register for classes?
All
students who wish to attend CEU must go through a New Student
Orientation session. Here students will (1) receive individual
assistance in selecting classes from a trained academic advisor; (2) be
provided with information on admissions, financial aid, housing,
scholarships, and many other areas of interest; (3) be able to register
for classes; and (4) receive college credit for attending.
Return to list of
questions
What if I can't attend New Student Orientation on the days
it's offered?
If a student cannot attend orientation on
one of the scheduled dates, he/she must contact the Center for Academic
Advisement at (435) 613-5311 or (435) 613-5623 to schedule a
mini-orientation.
Return to list of
questions
How do I know whether or not I need to take CEU's
assessment test?
If a student has not taken a college
placement test (ACT or SAT) in the three years prior to enrolling at CEU,
he/she must take CEU's placement test called the ASSET. Advisors use these
scores to make recommendations on which Math and English classes a student
should enroll in. Contact CEU's
Testing Center
for more information.
Return to list of
questions
Do I have to take the classes recommended by my
advisor?
We strongly advise students to enroll in
the Math and English classes recommended by their advisor. We want
students to be successful; advisors are trained to interpret test scores,
high school courses and grades, and the comfort level of the student so as
to make accurate recommendations and thus better the chances of student
success.
Return to list of
questions
What is a CLEP test?
The College Level
Exam Program offers credits in the general areas. Credits may be earned
for satisfactory scores on the General Exams in English, Humanities,
Social Sciences, Natural Sciences(Physical & Biological) and Subject
Exams (Western Civilization II and some languages). The exams are offered
at the CEU Testing
Center.
Return to list of
questions
What is a credit hour?
Credits are based
on the number of hours spent in class per week. For example, a 3 credit
hour class will meet 3 hours per week. To be considered "full-time" a
student must enroll in at least 12 credit hours each semester.
Return to list of
questions
What is "Academic Advising"?
Academic
advising is the process of assisting students in the identification and
pursuit of academic or applied technology goals. Advisors help students
select appropriate courses and class schedules to achieve those goals.
Advisors also familiarize students with degree requirements, help students
interpret test and placement scores, monitor student progress toward
graduation, assist students with clarifying major and/or career options,
and help students achieve their educational potential by helping them to
understand themselves and to learn to use resources available on campus in
order to reach their goals. Finally, advisors assist those students who
plan to transfer and continue their education with taking appropriate
courses and getting information on different colleges &
universities.
Return to list of
questions
How do I find out who my advisor
is?
Students are assigned advisors based on their major
field of study. If a student has declared a major, she/he is assigned a
Faculty
Advisor in
that department. If a student is "undecided" or is just trying to complete
the general education requirements for an Associate Degree without
"majoring" in anything, he/she is advised through the Center for Academic
Advisement located in the Student Center.
Return to list of
questions
What is a Major?
A specialized program
of study that a student chooses to pursue, which focuses on a particular
field such as accounting, elementary education, mathematics,
etc.
Return to list of
questions
What if I do not have a Major?
If a
student does not have a major, we recommend the student enroll in general
education courses and begin working towards an Associate Degree. The
student will be advised through the Center for Academic Advisement until
she/he declares a major at which point the student will be referred to a
Faculty
Advisor in
his/her major field of study.
Return to list of
questions
What types of degrees are available at CEU, and what is
the difference?
We offer several degrees at College of
Eastern Utah including: Associate Degrees, Associate of Applied
Science, Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE), and Certificate
of Completion.
- Associate Degrees-The
Associate of Science and Associate of
Art degrees are designed to meet the qualifications of the
first two years of a Baccalaureate Degree. Students who transfer from
CEU to a public four year institution of higher education in the state
of Utah will be automatically cleared of all general education
requirements if they have earned an Associate Degree. To receive an
Associate of Arts degree a student must complete two semesters of the
same foreign language.
- Associate of Applied
Science-The Associate of Applied Science Degree is designed for
students who wish to complete their education in two years and obtain a
marketable job skill in a specific area. This degree is not
geared towards transferring to a four year institution to pursue a
Baccalaureate Degree.
- Associate of
Pre-Engineering (APE)-The Associate of
Pre-Engineering degree is offered to students who plan to transfer to a
university and pursue a baccalaureate degree in any of the traditional
fields of Engineering.
- Certificate of
Completion-A Certificate of Completion is designed for students
who wish to complete their education in one or two years and obtain a
marketable job skill in a specific area.

questions
How many credit hours must I take each semester to
graduate in two years with an Associate
Degree?
Students need to average approximately 16 credit per semester to
complete the requirements for an Associate Degree in two years. Students
must complete a minimum of 63 credit hours of courses numbered "1000" or
above to graduate from CEU.
Return to list of
questions
What is a
"preparatory" or "developmental" course?
These are courses numbered below
"1000"; they are nontransferable and do not satisfy graduation
requirements. Students who have not demonstrated basic skills in
English and Math (based on college placement/assessment test scores) will
be strongly recommended to enroll in preparatory
classes.
Return to list of
questions
How do I add
or drop a class?
Meet
with your academic advisor and fill out an add/drop slip. Depending on the
date at which you decide to add or drop a class, the instructor may or may
not have to sign the add/drop slip. After receiving all appropriate
signatures, the slip must be turned into the Admissions
Office.
Return to list of
questions
What is a
GPA?
A student must
have a minimum of 2.0(C) Grade Point Average
to remain in good standing and graduate from CEU.
Return to list of
questions
What does the
grade "E" represent?
A
failing grade.
Return to list of
questions
What is an
"Incomplete" or "I" grade?
An incomplete grade "I" may be given by an instructor only when a
student is unable to complete class work because of illness or other
legitimate reason and, in the opinion of the instructor, the student can
complete the necessary course requirements without reregistering for the
course. The student has one semester (not including summer) to make up the
incomplete grade.
Return to list of
questions
What happens
when I repeat a course to get a better grade?
A student may repeat any course and have
only the highest grade received used in the computation of their GPA.
However, the student must submit a formal request, obtained at the
Admissions Office, to have their transcript reviewed and GPA adjusted.
The lower grade will remain on the transcript, but the transcript will
show that the course has been repeated and the higher grade figured into
the GPA.
Return to list of
questions
How do I
improve my grades?
Attend all classes, enroll in SLSC 1050 College Success Skills (a
course designed to help students improve their skills in reading, note
taking, test taking, memory, time management, etc.), use tutoring labs on
campus, and/or meet with an academic advisor to discuss problems that
affect academic performance.
Return to list of
questions
Do CEU's
credits Transfer?
YES!! College of Eastern Utah is fully
accredited and has articulation agreements with all of the four year
colleges and universities in the state of Utah. If a student receives an
Associate Degree from CEU, he/she will be automatically cleared of the
general education requirements at the institution to which he/she is
transferring. If a student plans to transfer out of state, we recommend
the student contact the institution he/she wishes to attend to find out
how the transfer credits will be evaluated.
