Dixie State College admits qualified students without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or physical capability. In order to register at Dixie State College, a student must first be admitted according to the requirements outlined below:

Bachelor’s Degree Applicants.  To be admitted into one of Dixie State College’s bachelor’s degree programs, applicants must be matriculated as Dixie State College students and seek advanced standing through a secondary admissions process. The department over the program can be contacted for specific admissions requirements and deadlines.

Associate Degree or Certificate Applicants.  Students seeking an associate degree or certificate are admitted either as new freshman students, transfer students, or as former students (readmits). Personal interest students are admitted as non-degree seeking.

To be admitted and matriculated as a degree-seeking student, applicants must have received a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent. Recognized equivalents include:

1.   A GED (General Education Development) test.

2.   Be beyond the age of compulsory education. In Utah, the general age of compulsory education is 18 years of age; however, exceptions can be made for students who have excelled academically in high school or who have been home schooled and have been released from further secondary school attendance.  With proper documentation of release from secondary education, students may be considered to be beyond the age of compulsory education.

3.   An academic transcript showing successful completion of at least a two-year program that is acceptable for full credit toward a bachelor’s degree.

Students who do not meet one of the above requirements may still be admitted as non-degree seeking. Note that high school students who wish to enroll in day courses (excluding summer) must still submit a release letter from their school for the prescribed times.

Freshman Admissions Steps

1.   Complete the application for admission (paper or online) and pay a non-refundable application fee.

2.   Submit official high school transcripts.

3.   Submit test results from one of the following:  ACT, SAT, CPT, or Compass. If one of these tests has not been taken, arrangements can be made with the college testing center to do so.

4.   If college courses were taken while in high school, request that official transcripts be sent to the registrars office.

Special Circumstances. In addition to the preceding steps, the following may also apply:

1.   Graduated more than seven years ago.  Students who graduated more than seven years ago and who are unable to provide high school transcripts may instead provide a copy of their high school diploma, or provide a written statement documenting that they have graduated from high school.

2.   Early Admission.  Students who have received approval for early release from high school must provide a copy of a formal letter of release from the high school counselor, as well as written authorization from a parent or legal guardian.

3.   Home Schooling.   Home schooled students must provide a copy of a formal letter of release from the high school counselor or secondary school district that documents the student is no longer required to attend secondary school.  Also a statement from a parent or legal guardian certifying that they have completed the equivalent of a high school diploma. 

4.   English Proficiency.  Regardless of citizenship, students must demonstrate English proficiency before being admitted as a degree-seeking student. This proficiency can be demonstrated by either providing a transcript with at least one year of high school education at an English speaking institution, or a minimum score of 500 on the TOEFL test.

Transfer Student Admissions. Students are classified as transfer students who have attended another college or university as a regular student following graduation from high school. The requirements for admission are as follows:

1.   An application for admission must be submitted and a non-refundable admission fee must be paid.

2.   Official transcripts from all previous colleges or universities must be submitted.

3.   If the student has not earned more than 24 college credits, then a high school transcript and test scores (ACT, CPT, SAT, or COMPASS) are required.

4.   The student must be in good standing with no documented disciplinary problems at previous institutions.

Former Student Admissions. Former students who have not registered for two or more semesters (excluding summer) must apply for readmission and pay the readmission fee.

Non-Degree Seeking Students.  To be admitted as a non-degree seeking student, a Dixie State admissions form must be submitted and a non-refundable application fee must be paid. Although not required, students are encouraged to submit ACT, SAT, CPT or COMPASS test scores to facilitate the advisement process. Non-matriculated students who wish to matriculate into degree seeking programs must complete the requirements as listed for degree-seeking students. Students currently seeking a high school diploma through the adult education program must be admitted as a non-matriculated student.

Three Credits or Less Applicants. To enroll in the “Three Credits or Less“ program, a student must be formally admitted by the above guidelines.  Since student fees are not charged, a student ID card will not be issued, but may be purchased for an additional cost. The resident and non-resident tuition and fee schedule will be enforced for the “Three Credits or Less” program. 

House Bill 60 Program Applicants (Senior Citizens 62 years of age and older).  Senior citizens 62 years or older who are Utah residents, may participate in the House Bill 60 program by being admitted as a non-matriculated student and by filling the requirements for non-degree seeking students.  

International Student Applicants.  International student applicants should complete the following requirements:

RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION 

Dixie State College’s Residency Policy is as follows: 

In order to qualify for residency in the state of Utah, most students must either have resided in the state continuously for two years or earned 60 semester hours at a regionally accredited college or university in Utah.  In order to be considered for residency, a student must fill out the Residency application and submit it to the Registrars office no later than the first day of classes for a given semester.  Supporting documentation must also be attached, to include:  Utah drivers license, vehicle registration, voter registration, employment pay stubs, proof of Utah bank account, etc.  The complete residency policy is available at http://www.dixie.edu/reg/residency.html

Registration

Dates for registration are listed in the class schedule published prior to each semester. This schedule may be purchased in the Dixie State College bookstore in the Gardner Student Center.  Registration at Dixie is accomplished via  the Internet (www.dixie.edu), the telephone registration system, or by coming to the registrar’s office or advisement office in person.  Instructions for using these systems are available each semester in the published class schedule.

Adding and Dropping Full Semester Classes.  The college has implemented a policy that Add cards will not override course prerequisites or placement criteria for basic skills courses (English and math), unless the add card has been signed by the appropriate department chair or dean.  The chair or dean may be contacted through campus information at 652-7500.  

Adding and Dropping Non-Traditional Session Classes.  Students may add or drop non-traditional session classes (classes which do not begin or end with regular session classes) at the registrar’s office. Deadlines for adding and dropping non-traditional session classes are published in the semester class schedule.  To add a non-traditional session class after the first day of the class is complete, students must have an add card signed by the instructor and must bring the card to the registrar’s office for processing.  To add a non-traditional session class after 50% of the class is complete, permission of the Academic Appeals Committee is required.

Students may withdraw from individual non-traditional session classes only during the first half of the non-traditional session courses.  After that time students may drop a non-traditional session class only with the written approval of the Academic Appeals Committee. 

Students who wish to audit a non-traditional session course must fill out an audit card in the registrar’s office.  A grade of “AU“ will be given and may not be changed to any other grade.  All audit cards must be submitted prior to 50% of the completion of the course.

Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered unless the class is officially dropped from their schedule.

Student Responsibility.   It is the responsibility of each student to ensure the accuracy of their schedule.  Accuracy of schedule should be checked at each of these times:

1.  At the time of registration.

2.  When a class is added or dropped.

3.  If the first day of class is missed for any reason.

4.  Before the last day to add, drop or audit classes.

Students may check their class schedule at any time on the internet (www.dixie.edu), by going to the counseling office, or registrar’s office.  Students who will not be at the first class meeting for any reason must inform the instructor prior to class time or they may be withdrawn.

Late Registration.  Students who register after a specified date (see semester course schedule) will be charged a late fee and will be required to register for classes at the registrar’s office.   

Class Load.  Freshman students should register for approximately 16 credits each semester to complete 63 semester credits within a two year period for an associate degree (summer semester not included). Students should prepare to study a minimum of two hours outside of class for every hour spent in class. 

Excess Credit.  Maximum registration without special permission is 20 credit hours per semester. To register for more than 20 credits per semester, permission must be obtained  from the student’s department chair, the director of advisement, or the college registrar.  The student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (B average).

Requirement for First-Time Freshmen.  All first-time freshmen must attend an orientation session before registering.  A first-time freshman may sign up and receive more information at http://www.dixie.edu/OandR/ or call (435) 652-7690.

House Bill 60 - Senior Citizen Registration.  Senior citizens who are residents of the state of Utah and are 62 years or older can sign up for an unlimited number of Dixie State College classes for a one-time $35 admission fee and a $10 per year fee with the following steps:

1.  Fill out the admission application, pay the one-time $35 admission fee and submit it to the registrar’s office.

2.  Pick up a House Bill 60 Add Card from the registrar’s office. On the first day of class request the instructor’s signature on the card. Registration takes place on the first day of classes on a SPACE AVAILABLE basis.

4.  Pay any special fees which may be attached to a class.

      NOTE:  There are some classes which are not available under this program, including ALL computer classes, some FCS classes and fitness classes.  

Audit Course Registration.  Students who register to audit a course are considered regular students in determining part-time or full-time registration and are charged regular tuition and fees. Because of limited space, some courses may not be open to audit students. To audit, students must fill out an audit card at the registrar’s office. The grade of AU will be given at that time and may not be changed to any other grade. The deadline for submitting an audit card is the end of the eighth week of the semester for full semester classes.  

Withdrawal From College.  Students are permitted to completely withdraw from school until the end of the 12th week of the semester.  Complete withdrawals must be initiated in the advisement and counseling office. Current class schedules list pro-rated withdrawal dates for block and summer classes.

Administrative Withdrawal (see Administrative Withdrawal Policy 5-44 and Student Tuition and Fee Payment Policy 5-17).  Students may be administratively withdrawn for the following reasons:

1.  Not attending class on the first day of class, without receiving special permission from the teaching faculty member.

2.  Registering for courses for which the pre-requisites have not been met (see Academic Assessment).

3.  Neglecting to pay tuition and fees for any given semester by the end of the 3rd week of the semester.  This type of administrative withdrawal has previously been referred to as a .“

4.  Registering for a class without following proper procedure when there is a "hold" placed on registration due to low scholastic status (see Scholastic Standards).

5.  For other appropriate reasons at the approval of the dean and department chair.

Fees must be paid before a transcript is mailed or faxed.  If there are any holds, the transcript will not be released.  Further transcript information can be obtained by calling (435) 652-7708.

Grade System.  The current grade system is as follows:  

Confidentiality of Records.   Dixie State College of Utah complies with the Family Education and Privacy Act of 1974 which mandates that information contained in a student’s education record must be kept confidential and only released on a need-to-know basis, and that such access be limited to job-related, legitimate educational interests. The information contained in a student’s record may not be released to a third party without that student’s written consent.   

Student Directory Information.  A student has the right to place restrictions on their directory information. To place a restriction or hold on records, a student must fill out the appropriate paperwork at the registrar’s office.  The restriction will last for only one year. Paperwork must be filled out annually for the restriction to continue.

FERPA coverage includes records, files, email, documents, and data directly related to the student, including electronically recorded data.

The following items are considered directory information at Dixie State College of Utah:

Credit Policies.  Students must be registered for a class to receive credit. It is imperative the class schedule be reviewed prior to the 4th week of school to make sure that enrollment in classes is official.  Students may not attend classes if the official course roll does not include their name. 

Grade Reports.  Grade reports for each semester may be picked up at the registrar’s window, accessed over the internet at www.dixie.edu, or by calling the phone response system at (435) 652-7777.

Grade Changes.   Changes are made only when the instructor has made a clerical error in computing or recording grades, when necessary work for an “I” grade has been completed, or when a grievance has found the grade to be inappropriate.  Grade changes for other purposes are not permitted.  The instructor must submit an official grade change card with the instructor’s signature to the registrar’s office.  No grade will be changed for any purpose after a period of four years.

Incomplete Grades.   An incomplete “I“ grade may be given with the following provisions:

1.  A student has completed a substantial portion of the required class work, but is unable to complete the work for a legitimate reason (i.e. illness, accident).

2.  A student should not re-register for the class.  If the situation requires that a student sign up for the course again, the instructor should give the grade that was earned, and the subsequent grade will replace the original grade (see Repeat Courses Policy).

3.      The incomplete coursework cannot be completed in a formal classroom situation.  If completing the coursework requires that a student attend lectures, labs, or field activities, then they should re-register for the course.

4.  The incomplete work must be completed within the time designated by the instructor.  If possible, the incomplete work should be completed during the following semester.

If the above requirements are satisfied, then the student and the instructor will negotiate a contract.  This contract should indicate the work to be completed, the deadline for the work, and should be signed by both the student and the instructor and filed in the dean’s office.

The “I“ grade is not computed in the GPA; however, this grade will be changed to an “F“ after one year if the instructor has not submitted a grade change card to indicate that the work has been completed.

Early Final Exams.   Permission to take an early final examination can only be granted by the dean of the division in which the student is taking the course, with the instructor’s approval.  Students are discouraged from taking early final exams.

Repeat Courses.   Students may re-register for courses in which low grades were received and those grades will be replaced by the more recent grades. If a more recent grade is lower than the prior grade, then the better of the two grades can be used as the repeat.  Students must register and pay tuition for the semester in which the class is repeated. Hours earned in repeat courses may be counted toward graduation requirements only once.  Exception: a course repeated at another institution cannot be used to change the GPA on a Dixie State College transcript.  It is the students responsibility to fill out a repeat card at the registrar’s office upon completion of a repeated course in order for the GPA to be re-calculated.

Academic Renewal.  Academic renewal permits returning students to discount limited previous poor grades from grade point calculations.  Following are the conditions under which academic renewal will be considered:

1.   The grades requested to be discounted must be at least seven years old.

2.   The applicant must be enrolled at Dixie State College at the time of application for academic renewal.

3.   Before applying for academic renewal, the student must, upon return to Dixie State College, have completed at least twelve credits of graded coursework with a GPA of at least 2.5.

4.   A student who has transferred Dixie State College coursework to another college or university for credit or has received a certificate, associates degree or bachelors degree is not eligible for academic renewal.

5.   Academic renewal may be applied for only one time and is not reversible.

6.   Academic renewal applies only to courses having grades of D+, D, D- and F.

7.   Not all D and F graded coursework must be discounted.  Students may request specific courses for academic renewal.

8.   Courses discounted as part of academic renewal are also discounted for use in satisfying pre-requisite, placement, general education and upper division course requirements.

9.   Courses that are discounted after academic renewal will remain on transcripts, but will be noted as not counting toward GPA or credit.

10. Academic renewal does not count toward transfer-in coursework.

Process for application:  Students applying for academic renewal must complete and return the academic renewal application form to the registrar with the $20 processing fee.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION OR PETITION

Students must be currently enrolled at Dixie State College of Utah to receive any credit by examination or petition.  Duplicate credit cannot be awarded for any exam or petition, meaning that credit may not be received more than once for the same course, or for two or more courses filling the same general education requirement.  Dixie State College will award no more than a combined maximum of 32 credits for the following types of credit:

The credit given for the above may be of four varieties:

1.  GRADED COURSE CREDIT.  A letter grade is received on the transcript with a specific course designation. This type of credit is easily transferred from one institution to another, and on the transcript, it is indistinguishable from credits given for any class successfully completed. Depending on the course, this type of credit may fulfill general education requirements. This type of credit is included in GPA calculation.

2. UNGRADED COURSE CREDIT.  No grade is posted to the transcript and this credit has no affect on the student’s GPA. Depending on the course, this type of credit may fulfill general education requirements, but is not as transferable to other institutions as graded course credit.

3.  UNGRADED GENERAL EDUCATION CREDIT.  Although ungraded and not used in the student’s GPA calculation, this type of credit does fill general education requirements. For example, students may receive three credits of ungraded credit that fulfill a general education science requirement.

4. Ungraded Elective Credit. Although ungraded and not used in the student’s GPA calculation, this type of credit can be used to help meet the overall credit requirement for graduation.

Advanced Placement Credit.   Awarded to students who complete high school advanced placement courses and successfully pass the AP exam with a score of three or higher. The credits earned will be ungraded and awarded based on the table which follows. Note that the credit is awarded as a single unit and cannot be broken up (i.e. a student cannot choose to only have part of it posted to their transcript).  In isolated instances a student may receive graded course credit from taking the AP exam when school district agreements are in place.  This credit is posted to the student’s transcript when AP test results are submitted to the registrars office.

A.P. Cutoff Scores and Course Requirements Fulfilled are shown on the following chart:

College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Credit.  This type of credit is given if proficiency is demonstrated on the CLEP exam.  A student will receive ungraded course credit, which may fulfill general education requirements or provide elective credits, using the following procedures and guidelines:

1.   If a particular general education course has already been completed, that course’s credit will be subtracted from the CLEP credit allowed.

2.   After a CLEP exam is taken, the exam is assessed, and ungraded course credit is granted according to statewide and departmental agreements.

3.   Upon passing a CLEP test, the test results must be presented to the registrar’s office for credit to appear on the transcript.

The minimum level of CLEP test proficiency for any creditat Dixie State College is as follows:

Vertical Credit.   This type of credit is given only if a student is an advanced foreign language student, and is not available for other types of classes.  After passing an advanced foreign language class with a “C“ grade or better, up to sixteen credits of vertical credit may be received for the courses that are preparatory to the advanced class using the following procedures and guidelines:

1.   Written permission is received from the division dean and the instructor who taught the advanced class.

2.   The registrar’s office is presented a memo of permission signed by both the dean and the instructor.

3.   A recording fee is paid at the cashier’s office and the receipt is presented to the registrar’s office.

4.   After the above steps are completed, ungraded elective or general education (foreign language) credit is received for the preparatory foreign language course(s).

Testing Out of Classes.  If a student is registered in a class, with instructor approval, s/he may "test out" of the class, stay on the roll and receive a letter grade on the final grade roll. In such cases, the instructor submits the grade at the end of the term on the regular grade report. Test-out credit will not count toward the limit on credit by examination.

Foreign Language Credit.   This type of credit is given to students who speak a foreign language. Up to sixteen credits may be received by special examination in an approved foreign language for which the equivalent skill or knowledge has been acquired, using the following procedures and guidelines:

1.   If a student learns English as a second language, eight units of ungraded foreign language credit may be received for his or her ability to speak English. To receive this credit, the MELAB test must be passed with a score of 69, the paper-based TOEFL at 500, and the computer based TOEFL at 173.  This credit will fulfill the foreign language requirement for the Associate of Arts degree.

2.   If an approved second language is learned, up to sixteen units of foreign language credit may be received for knowledge of the foreign language.  An approved foreign language examination must be passed at Dixie State College or at a university testing center (if tested at a university testing center, a student would pay for the credit at the university and then request that the test results be sent to Dixie State College).

3.   The results are evaluated by the testing center.

4.   Appropriate testing and recording fees are paid to the college cashier before the end of the third week of classes during the semester in which a student is registered.

5.      The receipt and test results are presented to the registrar’s office.

Transfer Credit.  Dixie State College has what it believes to be reasonable and wise placement criteria and prerequisites for its courses. If a student who does not meet Dixie State’s placement criteria takes courses from other institutions with the intent of avoiding Dixie State’s requirements, that credit will not be posted to the student’s Dixie State transcript.

Process:

Conditions:

Transfer Credits/Articulation Agreements within the Utah System of Higher Education   

An associate of arts or an associate of science degree earned at any institution within the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) will be considered as meeting the general education requirements of any institution in the system.  When the general education requirements of a USHE institution have been met, a registrar’s certification that the transferring student has completed baccalaureate-level general education requirements at the sending institution will be accepted by the receiving USHE institution in lieu of the AA/AS degree.  In the latter case, the registrar at the sending institution will forward to the receiving institution an up-to-date description of the general education requirements.

Credit other than that intended wholly to meet the general education requirements of the receiving institution will be applied on the basis of appropriateness of credit to a particular institution’s specific degree program requirements as determined by the receiving institution.  General education course work from a USHE institution shall be applied to assure the best possible fit with Dixie State College’s general education requirements.

For questions about the transferability of courses from other institutions to Dixie State College, an advisor may be contacted at the advisement center for general education questions. An academic departmental advisor can be contacted for questions concerning major-related courses.

International Transcripts.  International students requesting transfer of credit from foreign institutions of higher education, must present school records in the original language accompanied by a certified English translation of all non-English transcripts. Translations must be literal and complete. Faxed documents are not accepted. Course evaluations must be obtained through an approved foreign credential evaluation service. Information about these services is available from the international student office.

Tuition Refunds.  Students who drop classes or withdraw from college will receive tuition and fee refunds or reversal of charges according to the following State of Utah guidelines.  All tuition and fee refund rates start counting with the first day of each semester.   

1.   100% refund through the 21st calendar day of the term.

2.   No refund after the 21st calendar day of the term.  Exceptions to this policy may be approved for special circumstances by the exception to policy committee.

If tuition and fees have not been paid, charges will be reversed according to the above policy. The only way for a student to receive 100% reversal of charges is to withdraw before the end of the 21st calendar day of the term.   

Federal Student Aid Return of Funds Policy.  A student receiving federal student aid who withdraws, drops out, or is expelled from school within 60% of the semester may owe a refund to the federal student aid programs. The return of unused funds will be calculated by dividing the number of days the student is enrolled by the number of days in the enrollment period.  The number of days enrolled will be determined by federal regulations beginning with the first day of scheduled instruction and ending on the student’s date of official withdrawal. If a student withdraws, drops out, or is expelled from school without having turned in an attendance voucher, the financial aid for that term will be cancelled because the student has not documented attendance and established eligibility (unless the only funds received are Stafford and/or PLUS monies, which require only documentation of enrollment).

Unearned funds which must be paid by the institution will be distributed to the federal accounts in the following order: Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Subsidized Stafford Loan, PLUS Loan, Perkins Loan, PELL Grant and FSEOG. 

The return of funds calculation may indicate that the student owes additional amounts.  All refunds owed by the student must be paid in full or have satisfactory repayment arrangements made with the Office of Financial Assistance before the student is eligible for re-enrollment at Dixie State College or eligible to receive federal student aid at any institution. The student’s account will be turned over to the federal government for collection unless the student has repaid or has made arrangements for repayment within 45 days from the time the student is notified by the institution that a return was required.

Refunds, as determined by the institutional ‘Refund Policy’, that are in excess of the amount that was deemed as ‘unearned’ will be used to first pay other agency money paid on behalf of the student, second to pay the amount the student may owe to the federal accounts, and then any remaining balance will be returned to the student. A full copy of the Federal Student Aid Return of Funds Policy is available from the Office of Financial Assistance.

Late Fee Policy.  If a student registers or pays tuition after the 7th calendar day of the term, a $25 late fee will be charged. 

Collection Fees.  Dixie State College actively pursues to the fullest extent of the law all financial obligations due, including, but not limited to:  holds on future registration, holds on transcripts, liens against income tax returns, referrals to collection agencies or litigation.  Any fee or financial obligation, if not paid when due, is subject to collection and/or attorney fees.
