How to Assist Students ALL STUDENTS J

As your student considers a course, encourage them to read the details such as prerequisites, required books, technology needed, and other notes in the online course catalog. Confirm for your student that specific BYU IS course credits will transfer to satisfy course credit requirements at your school.

Make sure students know how to access our tutoring services. BYU now offers FREE remote online proctoring for students. If needed, help students arrange for a proctor to administer their exams in person. A few courses still require paper exams written in front of a certified local proctor.
MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS J
UNIVERSITY AND DUAL ENROLLMENT STUDENTS
Give students a copy of our High School and Middle School Courses booklet to share with their parents, identifying the specific course(s) you recommend.
Inform your students about your school’s procedure for accepting online transfer credit. (For BYU students, grades automatically post to their BYU transcript.) Make sure students are aware of deadlines. If course grades must appear within a particular semester or term, we must receive all their completed coursework and exams at least three weeks before the end of the semester or term.
TRANSCRIPTS Students can submit a request form for official transcripts to be mailed directly to their counselor. See is.byu.edu/transcripts for details. J

High school and middle school courses will appear on a BYU Independent Study transcript. University courses will appear on a Brigham Young University transcript.
Monitor students’ progress through the Counselor Portal to make sure they will meet any deadlines set by your school. PLEASE NOTE
US high school students must add their school name and/or ACT high school code to their account information before they will appear on your school’s progress report.
