The Utah System of Higher Education has established a policy guaranteeing that every high school student in Utah will be admitted to at least one of the 16 public higher education institutions in the state, irrespective of their grade point average (GPA). This initiative aims to enhance access to higher education for all students, with the goal of improving educational outcomes and opportunities throughout Utah.
Promoting Educational Equity
The policy reflects a broader effort to promote educational equity, ensuring that all high school graduates can pursue post-secondary education. By addressing potential barriers that may have previously restricted access based on academic performance, this measure seeks to support a more inclusive educational environment in the state.
