Waterfall Trail. Business Information Systems, Business Administration, Family und Human Development, History, and Secondary Psychology Education. There are also bachelor programs available in Accounting, Biology, Agribusiness, Special Education, Computer Science and many other areas, Peterson said one of the biggest school changes for the year is the deadline for graduation applications. The main cumpus in Uogan now requires students who plan to graduate in spring 2004 to submit their graduation applications by Oct. 15, which is earlier than in past years. The application fee is $10 und applications submitted after the deadline will be charged a $100 late fee. In order to complete the application, students must plan out their class schedule for Ihe 2(X)4 spring semester. Peterson noted that may be difficult for Uintah Hasin students because the schedule of classes will not be available before October, However, most advisers have a general idea of which classes will be taught each semester so the best thing for students to do is meet with an adviser from their major to make sure their required classes will be available. Graduating students should plan ahead, as most classes are only taught once every school year at USU Uintah Basin. Ciraduation application request forms can be picked up at the USU Uintah llasin office. 2(X)3-2(X)- 4 L - ' " - Bryan Fields, Alexa Volpe, Bryan Emmett, and Vicki So, work to repair damage to the the Waterfall Trail.
