Schedule A Campus Visit
We look forward to meeting you when you come to Utah State University for a visit! Because Aggies Elevated happens all over campus, scheduling a tour is a 2-step process. Please complete both steps to ensure that program staff will be available to meet with you.
Step 1. Schedule a campus visit by clicking on the link. At the bottom of the form, indicate “non-degree seeking” and put “Aggies Elevated” in the comment box. This will reserve your space in the group tour of campus.
Step 2. When scheduling, please be aware that most AE staffmembers are in class and unavailable before noon. Send an e-mail to sue.reeves@usu.edu with the date and time of your campus tour, and request an advising appointment with one of our program staff. **NOTE: To avoid unnecessary confusion and/or delays on your tour day, do not schedule an exploratory advising appointment in USU's General Advising office. Your appointment will be with an Aggies Elevated staff member.
