Allow us to reintroduce ourselvesLast year, we made a commitment to improve every aspect of the student experience at SUVA. While there were some roadblocks along the way, we have continued to work diligently to make SUVA greater than it ever has been. You’ve already seen many of these changes, and now it is with great pleasure that we announce yet another one.

Effective Fall 2020, we are changing the structure of our academic programs to accommodate the challenges we face in a COVID-19 world and, more importantly, better prepare students for life after graduation.

There are a great many benefits to the new curriculum structure, but here are some highlights:

• Fewer credits are required to earn your degree. That means you can focus your energy toward producing high-quality work.

• It’s much easier to pick up a minor, and you won’t have to wait until the summer term to get one.

• There’s more variety in our class offerings, which means you can customize your education around your interests and professional goals.

The fall schedule will look very different to you, but rest assured we have a plan in place to ensure each and every one of you gets converted to the new curriculum structure without causing any disruptions to your path toward graduation.

All returning students must schedule a one-on-one advising appointment so we can make sure you’re registering for the classes you need to graduate on time.

To schedule your advising and registration appointment, register for an appointment with us online.
