Registration

Anyone can register for classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center provided that they have

• earned a high school diploma or a GED,
• completed their Clearance to Register form and received their ecclesiastical endorsement, and
• agreed to abide by the Honor Code as published on the BYU Salt Lake Center Web site and been cleared to register.

Admitted BYU day continuing students may register for BYU Salt Lake Center classes as they do for regular on‐campus classes.

Once a student registers for classes, he/she is officially enrolled and committed to attend.

Registering under false pretenses will cause students to forfeit tuition and fees, and they will receive no credit for class work completed.

Nonadmitted Students

For nonadmitted students, taking classes at the center does not constitute admission to Brigham Young University, does not allow registration for on‐campus classes, nor does it provide any advantage over other applicants in the admission process. If nonadmitted students are later admitted officially to Brigham Young University, their credits count toward graduation requirements in the same way any other university course credits do.

The credits earned at the BYU Salt Lake Center may be transferred to other universities and colleges. For more information, contact the admission office at the selected university or college.

Enrollment as a part‐time undergraduate student does not entitle the student to federal financial aid, student activity privileges, or physical education facility privileges. Students desiring access to these facilities on the main campus in Provo can pay a fee per semester. For more information, contact the Information Center in 112 RB at 801‐422‐3980.

Admitted BYU Students

Students admitted to Brigham Young University may register for any combination of credit hours on both the main campus in Provo and the BYU Salt Lake Center (up to 18 hours per semester or 9 hours per term). BYU Salt Lake Center classes are listed in the regular BYU class schedules. Students may register for these classes in the same way they register for on‐campus classes.

Admitted students to Brigham Young University are required to enroll in at least one class each major semester (fall and winter) in order to maintain their admitted status. Enrollment at either BYU or the BYU Salt Lake Center will meet this requirement. If you have not met this enrollment requirement and have not received an approved deferment, you will need to reapply for admission.

Residence Credit

At least 30 credit hours must be earned in residence on the BYU campus in Provo as an admitted day student to qualify for a baccalaureate degree.

Within each major department there is also a residency requirement. The minimum requirement is 10 hours in Provo, but varies significantly across individual departments and majors. Check with the academic advisor in room 329 for more details.

BYU Salt Lake Center credits do not count toward the residency requirement.

International Students

International students must comply with BYU admission requirements prior to taking classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center. Please contact the BYU International Services Office at 801‐422‐2695.

High School Concurrent Enrollment

As a high school student, you may enroll under certain circumstances for credit courses after your junior year. For further information, contact the BYU Admissions Counseling Office at 801‐422‐2500.

How to Register (Nonadmitted Students)

Step 1: Obtain Clearance

Clearance to Register/Ecclesiastical Endorsement forms, found on pages xx and xx, may also be picked up from the BYU Salt Lake Center, mailed upon request, or accessed and printed from the BYU Salt Lake Center home page (http://ce.byu.edu/sl) on the Internet.

When the BYU Salt Lake Center has received and approved the Clearance to Register/Ecclesiastical Endorsement forms, access will be given to the registration system. Access to registration is normally available to you after two business days from the time all clearance information has been submitted. If there are questions regarding clearance information, the BYU Salt Lake Center will contact the student.

Step 2: Work Out Your Schedule

Course information can be found in this BYU Salt Lake Center class schedule or on the Brigham Young University home page (http://saas.byu.edu/classSchedule/). We suggest that you write down all the information for the classes you desire to take and work out a schedule before using the registration system.

Step 3: Register for Classes

Once you have obtained clearance, you may register for classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center by using the AIM registration screens on BYU’s Web site.

Internet access is available at the BYU Salt Lake Center for those who do not have Internet access available at home.

Class Changes

The BYU Salt Lake Center reserves the right to discontinue, postpone, or combine classes and change instructors. If it is necessary for the center to cancel a class, you will receive a full refund or be able to transfer to another class.

Adding and Dropping Classes

Adding:

If your tuition has been paid, the AIM (Academic Information Management) online system may be used to add classes until the add/drop deadline. Only classes with seats available may be added. If tuition is not paid by the deadline, a hold will be placed on the student’s account and no further classes will be added.

Dropping:

Use the AIM system to drop classes during the add/drop period (first ten class days of a semester or first six days of a term).

From the third week of classes through the fifth week of a semester (seventh through thirteenth days of a term), pay the $10 fee per class and submit a drop card to the BYU Salt Lake Center Registration Office. A “W” will appear on a student’s transcript for classes dropped during this time. A “W” is an official withdrawal and does not figure into the GPA.

To drop a class for nonacademic reasons after the drop deadline, a student must submit a drop card and a petition to the BYU Salt Lake Center front office along with a $10 fee for each class you request to be dropped. The instructor must sign the student’s petition form.

Discontinuance:

Discontinuance, official withdrawal from all classes by a student admitted to BYU, must be done through the Discontinuance Office on the main campus in Provo (801‐422‐7705).

Nonadmitted students who are taking classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center and wish to withdraw from all of them should contact the BYU Salt Lake Center registrar (801‐933‐9400).
