Commuter Student Services

As a commuter student at Fayette Campus, we want you to be aware of the services and resources available to you.

Bethany Lovhaug, '19

Teacher Education - Prekindergarten - Grade 3
Fayette Campus

I chose UIU because of the small class sizes and 8 week course schedule. You get to know the people in your class and your professors on a name to name basis which makes you feel like you belong. I also chose UIU to continue my volleyball career in one of the most competitive conferences in Division 2.

We accept up to 90 credits from four-year schools or 78 credits from two-year schools. Plus, your professional experience and test scores may earn you college credit.
