Students who have not met the high school curriculum requirements will be admitted on the condition that the deficiency is satisfied within a certain amount of time specified by the university.

SUBJECT # YEARS (4) Language Arts 9, 10, 11, 12 (emphasizing composition/literature) (3) Mathematics (Select from elementary algebra, geometry, intermediate algebra, trigonometry, college or advanced algebra, or calculus. Students are strongly encouraged to take at least elementary algebra through trigonometry.) (3) Biological/Physical science (Three years, two of which are required to be taken from Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. One of the sciences must include a laboratory experience.) (1) American History (4) Additional Courses (Select from at least two groups: Language Arts, History, Math beyond intermediate algebra, World Languages, Lab Science, Social Science, or Fine Arts.) (2) World language (The same language taken during grades 7-12: required only at the University of Utah.)

Level Two. Weber State University and Southern Utah University have two-tiered admissions policies: university and college tiers. Students who wish to complete a baccalaureate or masters’ degree program must apply under the university admission process. Students are strongly recommended to complete the courses listed above.

Level Three. Snow College, Dixie State College of, College of Eastern Utah, Utah Valley State College, Salt Lake Community College, Utah College of Applied Technology, Weber State University and Southern Utah University are open admission schools. Students must take the ACT or SAT or a placement exam; the results are used for placement.

Definitions connected with course titles:

Concurrent Enrollment. A student is enrolled and earns credit at their home school and another educational institution simultaneously. These institutions could include: colleges, applied technology colleges, and universities.

Dual enrollment. A student is enrolled at their home school and another accredited high school, including district technology centers, during the school day.

Honors. Is an advanced course for the student who is willing to read and write more extensively than in a regular or college preparatory course.

Advanced Placement (AP) Curriculum is designed in AP courses to prepare students for the end of year exam. College credit may be awarded to those who successfully demonstrate their mastery of the material.

International Baccalaureate (IB) Curriculum is designed in IB courses to prepare students for the end of year exam. College credit may be awarded to those who successfully demonstrate their mastery of the material.
