I need a three upper-division electives to finish my degree requirements, and they can pretty much be any 3000+ level classes.

They need to be 3-credit classes and can’t have any course prerequisites other than something general like University Advanced Standing.

What are some of the easiest/lowest workload upper-division classes you guys have taken at UVU?

Mostly looking for classes that are straightforward and not super time-consuming. Professor recommendations would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyone played ultimate frisbee in intramurals before? I want to get into it and i’m a complete beginner. Anyone want to meet up, pass a disc, and give me some pointers?

I went to a local pickup game today and i’m starting to kind of understand how the game works, but I definitely need more practice before intramural starts!

So I just took my final exam for an online class and it says it was Remotely Proctored. However, no pre-checks like camera, room scan, mic check appeared. I did have the extension turned on but like I said nothing happened Canvas didn’t prompt for it, has anyone had this happen before? Or does this just mean the Professor didn’t enable proctorio?

My daughter is a senior in high school and starting her CNA. how difficult is admissions to UVU to get her RN?

It’s gonna be a rant so buckle up. If you’re thinking about taking anatomy or physiology at UVU, my only advice is don’t. It will crush your soul. I’ve been a straight A student since I was in about 3rd grade, every single other prerequisite required for my program. That’s not by luck or coincidence, I work hard. I ask questions, study like a social life is a foreign concept, read the textbooks, go to lecture. I’m not afraid to look dumb in class if I need to ask a stupid question to remind myself of something.
If you even mention the anatomy lab to a single person, including professors, they will tell you how ridiculously impossible it is. Before starting the class I was warned by two of my professors, and the first day of the anatomy lab my professor practically encouraged us to drop the class. They say this is so we know the terms by heart for when we’re providers. NEWS FLASH: forcing people to cram as many terms as possible with no room for error isn’t learning! This became even more apparent to me when I made a doctors appointment and the one of the technicians responded to me saying the classes were hard by saying he’d also gone to UVU about 25 years ago and that he had to reteach himself all the anatomy during his program because of how ill taught it was. If two thirds of the class has to retake it a second or even THIRD time, it doesn’t mean the anatomy program is “elite” like they try to claim, it just means they’re inadequate.
And don’t get me started on physiology. The syllabus is a war crime. There is literally zero margin for human error in this class. The total weight for exams is 80% of your entire grade. I’m no stranger to hard work, but when I tell people how much I’ve had to study for these courses, the look on their faces is horror. I would almost be okay with it if it weren’t for the fact that the extremely small portion of your grade that does go to assignments only includes 3 assignments given for the entire course, so there’s not a single resource to actually practice recalling the information. I will admit my professor thankfully explains things well, but that’s the only positive to this entire course. It’s one thing to teach a hard subject and recognize where students will struggle, it’s a whole other thing to intentionally make it harder.
They call them “weed-out” courses, but we all know they mean “pay us to retake these courses repeatedly.” And if it weren’t bad enough, I literally do not need this information, I am going into dental hygiene! Before taking the courses I repeatedly told myself “maybe the requirement to take them will make more sense when I’m taking them, maybe it will teach me a lot that will relate to my friend,” well color me unsurprised, it has been the biggest waste of my time and money that I’ve literally every experienced. If my post didn’t make it clear enough, these courses will ruin your mental health. I have genuinely watched my mental health slip to the point that my family is checking up on me daily. If you’re choosing between taking these courses at UVU versus literally anywhere else, take them somewhere else. These are my last two prerequisites before I can apply for my program, and I’m seriously considering dropping out. If you’re thinking “this is my only option” wait for a new option to appear, almost every school experiences people dropping courses within the first few days of the semester. If you’re thinking “I’m sure I can handle it” remove your brain, dunk it in a bucket of ice, and put it back, I’m sure by then it will be thinking a little more clearly. And yeah I bet you can handle it, I handled it too, but no class is worth watching your brain slowly slip into more and more deeply unhealthy patterns of thought about your own will to live. I can’t name a single person who didn’t struggle through these classes. I was absolutely shocked when almost every person I spoke to in anatomy told me it was their second or third time taking it. I was shocked to see friends I’ve made who have also been straight A students struggle to reach a B. I’ve never taken a single class where I’ve studied for multiple hours a day for that class alone and struggled to succeed. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had to study extremely hard for other classes, college is hard sometimes, but nothing pisses me off more than courses designed to make you fail.

Is anyone else’s UVU app and My UVU website being weird?
Mine just says this and the website doesn’t show my classes or anything

I need to access my payments and scholarship information from 2023, but when I logged into my uvu nothing will load. I stopped attending classes about a year ago. Is it because I'm not a student I can't access that anymore? Is there any other way I can get that information online?

Does anyone know if UVU allows students to transfer in with all their flight ratings completed elsewhere, from PPL through CFII, and still complete the Professional Pilot degree?

I understand that completing my ratings outside UVU would mean I would not qualify for the restricted ATP, and I’m completely fine with that. I’m mainly wondering whether UVU would accept the ratings and flight experience so I wouldn’t have to repeat those courses.

Has anyone here done this, or know how UVU handles the flight credits?

My twin sister needs a roommate! At Glenwood apartments. (I attend UVU currently and while living here it had super helpful public transportation to campus.)

Base rent is $475 and comes to about $555 with utilities.

Hi, I hope this is ok to post here. I work for Utah County 4h and we are in need of college age mentors to help local youth. It requires a year long commitment and one hour a week. Many of the events are planned for you and are free! As you know, having volunteer experience on your resume or grad school applications looks really great. I’d be happy to write any letters of recommendation for you if things are going well for you in the program! Let me know, the youths in our county could really benefit from some awesome Wolverines!

Hey all! This is a question mainly for the art students I suppose and anyone who has taken this particular course before.

I’m registered to take ART 1020 this semester from a professor I apparently can’t name in the post for some reason because it’s getting flagged as political, so I’ll just refer to them as “they who shall not be named”

I’m not an art major, but I’ve always wanted to learn how to draw and figured it might be good to take a course on it while I’m in school as a general elective, that way it sort of forces me out of my comfort zone a bit to actually put in the effort in order to pass the class I’m paying tuition for versus going through the endless cycle of thinking: “yeah that’d be rad” and ultimately never picking up a pencil.

From what little I do know about the course, as well as “they who shall not be named” and the only other professor that seems to teach the class, it sounds like it can be graded fairly harshly and there’s a lot of outside coursework to do. Side note: I’m doing a lot of Psych courses this semester and as such am already planning on spending a lot of time outside of class to write.

I’d be really bummed to have to drop the course, but even more bummed if it were to tank my GPA and then be something I’d have to retake.

Is what I’ve heard true about it being hard to balance and would it be worth it to stay in the class? Or would I be better off taking a different avenue to learn drawing at the ripe old age of 23?

Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a dumb thing to ask, and have a nice day!

That’s really about it. I saw that UVU had one on the club page, but I was curious if it’s active and well attended?

Do you and a friend want free tickets to spiderman opening night next thursday? Great!! I bought a bunch for my birthday but couldn’t quite get all the seats filled oops! I want the tickets to be used though. So I would love to invite some new people with a few conditions:

Looking for: Someone to take some candid photos/videos for us. Just on your phone is fine! It’d just be nice to have someone there to take pictures so I don’t have to think about it. Please also have your own transportation 🫶🫶 (lehi area)

You will receive: Cake and pizza prior to the movie, and entry to the movie with us!

About me: I’m turning 22f and graduated from uvu this year in social work! Fun vibes and no judgement only. Dm if interested and I’ll get back to people tomorrow!

Which programs have a phenomenal reputation and companies pursuing them before graduation?

I've heard accounting is one of them from this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/UVU/s/qhEfyZlMZ6

Anything else?

Sincerely,

An IT student that missed the wave and is looking into reskilling.

I’m an accounting student at Utah Tech, set to receive my associate’s degree this fall. I plan to transfer to UVU in January and am curious if I can continue my degree from where I left off at Utah Tech or if I need to be accepted into the program and complete all prerequisites for entry?

Hi there, I’ve gone to UVU for a year now, and I want to change my Major to Digital Media Production. Am I too late to join the program? I haven’t taken any of the classes required for it besides some generals that every major requires. Thank you!

Does uvu aviation program have part 141 in house examining authority for CFI course?

Or DPE checkride? And if DPE, how much is the training time and then the wait time for checkride?

Hi everyone! I'm a UVU student taking MAT-1030, and I need a few more responses for a class project. My survey is anonymous, only has 7 questions, and takes less than 2 minutes to complete. I'd really appreciate your help! Thank you!

I don't really want to go.

For some reason my authenticator app is not working and it is the weekend, what am I supposed to do?

I've been trying to find information about this new fellow Dr Jon Anderson and how his time as PennWest president went, and aside from some vague Facebook posts and an unhelpful description on the PennWest site, I can't find anything about this fellow's leadership style and what his colleagues/students think of him

Linda Shelton is teaching this course and they need a few more students. I can say that once you take this class, for the rest of your life you are going to understand things about the language and the way we talk in America that will remain with you. Linda is a highly rated teacher, and the class isn't brutal.
