Utah High School Students Get New Admission Status

(Salt Lake City, UT) — The Utah System of Higher Education will now allow every high school student admission to at least one of the 16 public colleges in the state, regardless of their GPA. “Admit Utah” is the state’s first simplified and guaranteed admissions initiative. It is expected to serve as a central hub for students, families and educators to navigate the college admissions process. Officials say admission may be anywhere from a tech college to a four-year university. The University of Utah and Utah State University are the only public universities in the state that have GPA requirements to attend. That means 14 colleges and universities will grant admission to Utah students without a GPA requirement.
