Going away for a time or returning? Registering for one or two courses on Utah Valley University’s spring 2013 second block is a great way to begin your university studies or ease your way back into your higher education.

UVU is currently accepting applications for admission for spring 2013 second block. Admission for second block classes is currently open through Feb. 16. Classes begin Feb. 26 and go through April 25 (blocks are only seven and a half weeks in duration).

To better accommodate the needs of students, several new sections of high-demand general education courses have been added to the spring 2013 second block schedule. Check available classes and register now on UVLink.

Students may also still apply for Federal Financial Aid. For information on completing the FAFSA, visit www.uvu.edu/financialaid/apply/index.html.

If a student is returning from a stop out or leaving at the end of April, attending spring 2013 second block is a great way to pick up a couple of classes rather than not enrolling in school, or waiting for summer term or fall semester.

UVU will continue to expand courses offered on the block as well as online and hybrid options to provide students with greater flexibility in completing their higher education.
