Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a cost to attend, and what is included? The Campus Connections event itself is entirely free to attend for you and your guest! Your registration includes the campus tour, full access to the Resource Fair, entry into our scholarship and swag giveaways, and a complimentary lunch featuring a custom SUU-themed Soda Bar.

I haven't applied to SUU yet. Can I apply at the event? Yes, absolutely! We will have our admissions team set up during the Resource Fair. We will have iPads on-site and our Admissions team will be right there to walk you through the process.

I'm not sure what major or program I want to pursue yet. Is this event still for me? Most definitely! Campus Connections is designed to help you figure out your next steps. During our lunch hour, we have dedicated "Undecided" tables for students who are exploring their options. You can chat with advisors, recruiters, and peers to help you discover which path feels right for you.

What should I expect during the Campus Tour, and what if it rains or snows? The campus tour is a guided walking experience from 11am-12pm that takes you through SUU's beautiful grounds, stopping by iconic landmarks like the Carter Carillon Bell Tower, the historic Old Sorrel statue, and the Adams Shakespearean Theatre. Because Cedar City weather can vary, especially during our late fall dates, we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a jacket or umbrella just in case!
