Where do I park for my class?
At the University of Utah sites in Bountiful, Murray, Park City, and
Sandy there is ample free parking.
When parking on campus, students
have several options. Please visit the Parking Services website for
the office address and details:
1. Free Parking: All "U" and "E" lots on campus (unless the stall is marked reserved) are available for free after 6pm daily and all day Saturday and Sunday. Parking is never allowed "A" lots
without a permit.
2. Daily Parking Pass: If you are visiting the University for only
one or two days, a day pass may be your best option. It can be purchased
on the day you wish to use it or bought in advance. It allows a visitor
to park on campus for one day in "T," "A," "U," or "E" lots.
The cost per day depends on where you wish to park. It is not valid
at meters or in pay lots.
Day passes are available at Commuter Services
(in the west end of the Annex, Room 101) or at pay lot booths. A day
pass must display the date of the day it is being used in order to
be valid. Call Parking Services at 801-581-6415 for further assistance.
You can also purchase
a day pass from a machine in the northeast corner in the West Stadium
Lot. However, it is good for parking in the West Stadium Lot only.
Cost is $3 before noon and $1 thereafter. This rate does not apply
to other day passes and is good in the West Stadium lot only.
Do I have to be formally admitted to the University to take these classes?
Continuing Education students may register for
NON-CREDIT courses without formal
admission to the University of Utah. Registrations are taken in
person at the Registration Office in Continuing Education, 1185
Annex Bldg. or by calling 801-581-6461 to register by telephone,
or you can register online via our website after you select the
class(es) you want by using our shopping cart system.
Students may register
for Continuing Education CREDIT COURSES, following
admission to the University as either a matriculated or non-matriculated
student. You can learn more about the application process and deadlines
by referring to the Admissions
Office website.
When
the admission process is complete, students may register for credit
courses online using the web registration
system.

Will Continuing Education courses appear on my transcript?

I earned my degree years ago. How do I reactivate my records?
Contact the University Admissions office, 250 SSB, or call 801-581-7281.
Are University employees eligible for tuition reduction on Continuing Education classes?
Yes, after completion of six months full-time eligible
employment (eligibility requirements must be met by the official
first day of the regular semester in which classes are to be taken)
employees may receive 50% off tuition for credit classes, as well
as non-credit classes offered through Continuing Education. This benefit does not
apply to classes offered through the Youth Education
program. This benefit extends to an employee's spouse after an employee
has worked full-time for one year.
To use this benefit, eligible employees
must fill-out the Tuition Reduction Agreement Form, available through
the Human Resources department or online at www.hr.utah.edu/ben/forms/.
Once completed, submit this form to the Benefits Department located
at 420 Wakara Way STE 105, or fax it to 801-585-7375.
Employees must
fill out one form for each term in which they want to take classes;
the form does not carry over from term to term. Special fees attached
to a class are not included in tuition reduction and must be paid in
full. Please contact Continuing Education at 801-581-6461 for clarification
of class tuition and special fees if needed.
Do you have a program for senior citizens?
Yes. The program is called House Bill 60 and participants must meet the age 62 requirement to enroll. For more information, follow this link.
Can I get a University identification card and/or library card through Continuing Education?
Students registered at the University of Utah are
eligible to receive an identification card which entitles them
to library and some other privileges. If you do not have a University
of Utah I.D. card you may request one at 154 University Union,
MWF 9-5, TTh 9-2. I.D. cards will be issued to registered students
upon presentation of another form of identification.
