Registration

Anyone can register for classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center provided that they have been cleared to register and have completed their ecclesiastical endorsement or are an admitted BYU student. 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 classwork completed.

Enrollment as a part-time undergraduate student does not entitle the student to student activity privileges, or physical education suit and facility privileges.

Nonadmitted Students

If a student is not a currently admitted student to Brigham Young University, he/she may register for classes at the center provided that he/she submits a Clearance to Register /Ecclesiastical Endorsement form, has earned a high school diploma, and agrees to abide by the policies and procedures as written on the BYU Salt Lake Center Web site. These include: adherence to the Honor Code policy, the Academic Honesty policy, and the Dress and Grooming Standards.
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 to  over other applicants in the admission process. If students are later admitted officially to Brigham Young University,  BYU Salt Lake Center credits count toward graduation requirements in the same way any other university course credits do.

The credits earned at the center may be transferred to other universities and colleges. For more specific information, contact the admission office at those institutions

Enrollment as a part-time undergraduate student does not entitle the student to student activity privileges, or physical education suit and facility privileges. Students wishing to use the exercise facilities on the main campus in Provo may do so by paying a fee of $45 per semester and must have a current BYU Id card.  For more information contact the RB Information Center in 112 RB or call (801) 422-3980.

The credits you earn at the center may be transferred to other universities and colleges. For more specific information, contact the admission office at your selected university or college.

How to Register

Step 1: Obtain Clearance
Clearance to Register/Ecclesiastical Endorsement forms 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, students will be notified by email that they have been cleared and will given access to the registration system. Access to registration is normally available after two business days from the time that all required documentation has been received. If there are questions regarding the information you submitted, the BYU Salt Lake Center will contact the student.

Step 2: Work Out A 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 students write down all the information for the classes desired and work out a schedule before using the registration system.

Step 3: Register for Classes
Once the student has obtained clearance, he/she may register for classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center by using the AIM registration screens on BYU’s Web site. BYU Salt Lake Center classes are identified by the caption “Salt Lake” in the Section Type column of the registration screens.  

Admitted 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 online class schedules. BYU Salt Lake Center classes are identified by the caption “Salt Lake” in the Section Type column.  Students may register for these classes in the same way they register for on-campus classes

Residence Credit

At least 30 credit hours must be earned in residence at 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 your academic advisor for more details.

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