Independent Study High School

BYU Independent Study high school courses are NCAA-approved. They are comparable to traditional classroom courses in their length, content, and rigor, and they prepare students for academic work at a four-year college or university. Students in these courses also benefit from interaction with teachers, teaching assistants, tutors, advisors, and other support staff as part of this nontraditional educational experience. Credits earned through BYU Independent Study transfer and appear on the student’s school transcript(s).

Independent Study University

College athletes and prospective college athletes, including those from schools other than BYU, may enroll in BYU Independent Study university-level courses. BYU does not determine or guarantee whether any BYU Independent Study university course (i) will be accepted for transfer credit by another institution, or (ii) will satisfy NCAA, conference, or institutional eligibility requirements (including, as applicable, progress-toward-degree, full-time enrollment, or other continuing-eligibility standards). Student-athletes are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable rules and should consult their institution’s athletics compliance office (and other relevant academic offices) before enrolling.
