How do I read a monthly invoice?

For questions regarding your invoice, please contact us at 801-422-6885 or ispo@byu.edu

How do I get started with my classes?

Check your email for a no-reply email from BYU containing a link. Click on the link and be ready to enter your birthdate. You will go through a series of security questions and set up your BYU Net ID (username) and password. Use the same personal information as your registration to allow our system to connect your account correctly. If you have trouble with this process, please contact us at 801-422-6885 or ispo@byu.edu for assistance.

How do I get my confirmation number?

Once enrollment is complete, a confirmation email is sent to the student’s email address listed in the registration. No confirmation is sent to the person who submitted the Purchase Order Enrollment form. The student receives the email and should not be the individual submitting the form.

What is a purchase order and how do I use it?

A purchase order is a promise to pay and is treated as payment until your organization is invoiced, allowing your organization to pay for courses with one monthly payment.

An account must be set up with Brigham Young University in order for Independent Study to extend credit to your organization. Purchase orders can either be on a student by student and course by course basis or they can be set up for larger numbers of registrations and/or fees.

What happens after I submit a purchase order form?

We process each purchase order form within 1–2 business days of receiving it. Please do not call in to see if we received the form until after the 1–2 business day period. Once the form has been processed, the purchaser and student will receive an email indicating the student has been enrolled, as well as a link to access the course. For withdrawals, resubmissions, and extensions, you will not be notified via email but can call our office at 801-422-6885 with any questions or to verify the status of the request.

How do I pay my invoice?

Courses will be billed according to the published catalog price. We currently bill monthly via email. All charges and credits from the prior month will be included on the next month’s invoice. Our payment terms are net 30, and we accept checks, credit card, ACH payments, or wire transfer payments.

In education, credentials matter.
