Class Planning ​ ​

​To figure out what courses you need to take in upcoming semesters, be sure to look at your Grad Planner on I-plan. Creating a Grad Plan will help you sequence your courses, complete prerequisites, and graduate faster. If you need help, make an appointment with an Academic Adviser. ​

"Even if you're not sure about your interests, the best way to find a major is to make your best guess and try it on. If you reflect regularly about whether your major is a good fit for you, testing your interests and relative abilities in it, you'll soon get a feeling about whether it's right or wrong."
~President Henry J. Eyring

Inspirational Message

Rise To The Call
​

In President and Sister Gilbert’s first Devotional as President of the University, he said,

“Sister Gilbert and I would like to invite each of you to rise to the call in your own personal ways and then to share with others how you will rise to the call in your life. . . Rise up and accept the call the Lord has for you, and seek for His power in magnifying your assignments.”
