You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Utah Valley University''' ('''UVU''') is a [[public university]] in [[Orem, Utah]]. UVU offers master's, bachelor's, associate degrees, and certificates.<ref>((cite web | url = https://www.uvu.edu/catalog/current/departments/degrees-programs.html | title = Degrees and Programs | work = UVU Catalog | publisher = Utah Valley University | access-date = February 5, 2018))</ref> Previously called '''Utah Valley State College''', the school attained university status in July 2008.

==History==
=== Central Utah Vocational School ===
The school was founded in the fall of 1941, when the Utah State Vocational Office consolidated federal work program classes into one campus in [[Provo, Utah|Provo]], just west of the campus of Brigham Young University. At this time, the school was known as Central Utah Vocational School (CUVS).<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.uvu.edu/visitors/aboutuvu/history.html |title=UVU &#124; History &#124; About UVU &#124; Home |access-date=2017-02-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170221011006/https://www.uvu.edu/visitors/aboutuvu/history.html |archive-date=2017-02-21 ))</ref>

=== Utah Trade Technical Institute ===
Growth brought numerous changes to the school over the following decades, and it was renamed several times to reflect its changing role. In 1963, the name was changed from CUVS<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.uvu.edu/visitors/about/history.html |title=About UVU: Historical Development Summary |publisher=Utah Valley University |access-date=March 29, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111027225431/http://www.uvu.edu/visitors/about/history.html |archive-date=October 27, 2011 ))</ref> to Utah Trade Technical Institute.

=== Utah Technical College at Provo ===
((redirect|Utah Technical College|the university|Utah Tech University))
In 1967, the school became Utah Technical College in Provo and was given the authority to confer associate degrees for the first time. In 1977, the institution began moving to its present location, at the junction of I-15 and University Parkway in Orem.

=== Utah Valley Community College ===
In 1987, it became Utah Valley Community College.

=== Utah Valley State College ===
In 1993, the school was named UVSC and began awarding four-year degrees. The Utah legislature approved renaming UVSC as a university in February 2007 (effective July 1, 2008), allowing it to begin offering master's degrees, although the school continues to emphasize its two- and four-year degree programs.

=== Utah Valley University ===
On July 1, 2008, UVSC changed to UVU, officially changing to a university.

===Digital Learning Center===
((More citations needed|date=November 2011))
In September 2006, the school began construction of a new Digital Learning Center to replace the ((convert|35000|sqft|m2|adj=on)) Losee Resource Center (library). The "DLC" is ((convert|180000|sqft|m2)) and is located northeast of the Liberal Arts building. It opened on July 1, 2008. UVU President [[William A. Sederburg]] hired Cooper, Roberts, Simonsen and Associates, and Layton Construction as the design/build team for the new Digital Learning Center, with acclaimed New York architect Jacob Alspector as lead architect. "We chose the design we’re going with because it was an exceptional design that still kept a lot of the same features of our current campus. So it looks like it’s supposed to be there yet it stands out," said Jim Michaelis, associate vice president of Facilities Planning. The $48 million project includes networked computers, computer labs, a computer reference area (Information Commons), a media center, 31 study rooms, and wireless internet throughout the building. In 2016 money was donated to the Library by [[Ira A. Fulton]] and Mary Lou Fulton, and it was renamed Fulton Library.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.utahvalley.com/listings/Utah-Valley-University-Library/885/|title=Utah Valley University Library – Provo, Utah |access-date=2016-06-03))</ref>
