Utah College Application Week (UCAW) is coming October 3rd – 7th. The purpose of UCAW is to acquaint students with the college application process and to communicate the importance of applying to college and financial aid.
During the week, all seniors will be encouraged to apply for admission to at least one college or university and to fill out the FAFSA.
On Wednesday, October 5th, students and their families are invited to and attend our College and FAFSA night from 5-7 pm.
Come visit with the following: Airforce, Army, BYU, Centro Hispano, Ensign College, Gear Up, Grand Canyon University, Marines, MTECH, National Guard, Navy, Nightingale College, Paul Mitchell, Provo College, SUU, U of U, Utah State, UVU, UVU Latino Initiative and more
FAFSA volunteers will be available to help in submitting the application for financial aid. We will also have college representatives, military, and other organizations here to answer questions. In preparation, please refer to the College Information, Fee Waivers and FAFSA Application Information Sheet.
3. Health and Well-Being Screener
In conjunction with the College and FAFSA night, Cedar Valley will host a health and well-being screener that assesses the social-emotional strengths and needs of students.
The assessment takes about 15 minutes to complete. All results are confidential and secure. Alpine District service providers will be available to go over the results with students and parents.
Mental health screenings help identify mental health conditions early and connect students with help. Screening also helps counselors to better recognize early warning signs. If you feel this screener would be beneficial to your student, please register at https://tinyurl.com/2p8dsznm.
For questions about the screener please contact Rebecca Andreasen at [email protected] or phone number (801) 610-8458.
For questions about UCAW please contact Marcie Murri at [email protected] or (801) 610-8826. For continual updates and scholarship information see our counseling website here or follow us on Instagram @cedarvalleystudentcenter
The finance office will be closed on Tuesday, October 4th and Wednesday, October 5th. Please plan accordingly!

Cedar Valley will be offering the ASVAB test here on campus starting at 9:05 AM the morning of October 20th. Please sign up here in order to reserve your seat and be offered the exam. For additional information about the ASVAB please visit https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/asvab

The counseling office and Latinos in Action would like to provide transportation for Cedar Valley seniors and juniors to attend the UVU First Generation Student Conference on Tuesday, October 25, 2022 from 8am-1:30pm held on UVU campus.
A First Generation Student is a student who is the first person from their family to attend college [or if neither parent holds a bachelor’s degree]. You would still be considered a first-generation student if your sibling went to college and you are going to college too.
Please fill out this form if you would like your student to participate in this informative conference. There is no cost and limited seating. We will take students on a first come, first serve basis giving priority to senior students. Contact the counseling office if you have any questions.
