In case you misplaced the Parent & Family Handbook from the Office of Orientation & Transition, we’ve highlighted 10 student support services recommended for University of Utah students.

ACADEMIC ADVISING

Academic Advising empowers students to identify their goals and design the best degree program to meet those goals. Advising is a process, not a one-time event. We encourage students to meet with an advisor on a regular basis.

There are two types of advisors at the University of Utah:

• Academic Advising Center advisors help entering students navigate the university, understand policies and requirements and explore majors and minors and prepare for admission to professional school in medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy and physical therapy.
• Departmental advisors provide detailed information on major requirements and opportunities within the major.

Advising is always available to students, but there are times when it is required:

• All first-year students are required to meet with an advisor during orientation and during their first year.
• All new transfer students are required to meet with an advisor before registering for their first semester’s classes.
• All second-year students are required to meet with a major advisor or work on major exploration with an Academic Advising Center advisor.
• All students are required to meet with their major advisor to declare their major and to apply for graduation.
• Any student who falls below the required 2.0 cumulative GPA is required to meet with an advisor to devise strategies for success.

FEED U PANTRY

The University of Utah food pantry provides non-perishable, nourishing food for our students and their families. Fill out a simple one-time demographic form on our website or in person. Bring a valid UCard during your visit and present your ID to a volunteer. You will be given a bag (bringing your own bag is encouraged) to select what you need from the pantry. Due to a variety of extenuating circumstances that may affect our students, the pantry has no limit on the amount of food someone can take or how long they can use the pantry for. We simply ask that clients be mindful of others that use the pantry.
