What’s New on the BYU Independent Study Website

🌟 Clearer Course Navigation

Finding the right course is now faster and more intuitive. The redesigned layout helps you quickly browse high school offerings, compare course options, and review prerequisites with ease. Comprehensive course catalogs and improved filtering make it simple to locate exactly what your student needs.

📘 Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) Focus

Many courses now highlight Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) outcomes. In addition to learning core academic content, students develop valuable abilities such as critical thinking, communication, and problem solving. These outcomes help students grow not only academically but personally, preparing them for future education and life opportunities.

📍 Dedicated Parent Tools

Parents play an important role in a student’s success. The new website includes a Parent Portal designed to help families stay informed and involved. Parents can track progress, understand course expectations, and better support their student throughout the learning experience.

👩‍🏫 Course Series Discount

Families enrolling in a full course sequence can now save.

When a student enrolls in all parts of a course series—such as Algebra Part 1 and Part 2—they automatically receive a 10% discount on the bundled courses. This option makes it easier and more affordable to plan ahead for multi-part classes.


Why This Update Matters

The new BYU Independent Study website was built to make the enrollment and learning process simpler, clearer, and more supportive for families.

Whether your student needs:

  • Core graduation credits
  • Elective enrichment courses
  • Flexible scheduling options
  • Credit recovery opportunities

…the updated site makes it easier to explore options and take the next step with confidence.

We invite you to explore the new website and discover how BYU Independent Study can support your student’s learning journey.
