Go to Top 

Academic Honesty

The first injunction of the BYU Honor Code is the call to “be honest.”  Students come to the university not only to improve their minds, gain knowledge, and develop skills that will assist them in their life’s work, but also to build character. President David O. McKay taught that “character is the highest aim of education” (The Aims of a BYU Education, p. 6).

It is the purpose of the BYU Academic Honesty Policy to assist in fulfilling that aim.

BYU Salt Lake Center students should seek to be totally honest in their dealings with others.  They should complete their own work and be evaluated based upon that work.  They should avoid academic dishonesty and misconduct in all its forms, including plagiarism, fabrication or falsification, cheating, and other academic misconduct.

Incidents of academic misconduct are to be reported to the administration of the center, which will deal with the matter according to the statement on “Procedures for Handling Incidents of Academic Dishonesty or Other Academic Misconduct” as written in the current undergraduate catalog.

Dress and Grooming Standards

The dress and grooming of both men and women should always be modest, neat, and clean, consistent with the dignity adherent to representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and any of its institutions of higher education.

Modesty and cleanliness are important values that reflect personal dignity and integrity, through which students, staff, and faculty of BYU represent the principles and standards of the Church. Members of the BYU community commit themselves to observe the following standards, which reflect the direction of the BYU Board of Trustees and the Church publication For the Strength of Youth. These guiding principles apply at all Church-sponsored institutions of higher education. The application of these principles may vary slightly at the various institutions in accordance with local conditions and circumstances. (See separate institutional policies for more specific details on dress and grooming standards.) The Dress and Grooming Standards are as follows:

Men.
A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained. Clothing is inappropriate when it is sleeveless, revealing, or form fitting. Shorts must be knee-length or longer. Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles or colors, and trimmed above the collar, leaving the ear uncovered. Sideburns should not extend below the earlobe or onto the cheek. If worn, mustaches should be neatly trimmed and may not extend beyond or below the corners of the mouth. Men are expected to be clean-shaven; beards are not acceptable. Earrings and other body piercing are not acceptable. Shoes should be worn in all public campus areas.

Women.
A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained. Clothing is inappropriate when it is sleeveless, strapless, backless, or revealing; has slits above the knee; or is form fitting. Dresses, skirts, and shorts must be knee-length or longer. Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extremes in styles and colors. Excessive ear piercing (more than one per ear) and all other body piercing are not acceptable. Shoes should be worn in all public campus areas.

Residential Living Standards

As stated in its Code of Honor, Brigham Young University is committed to providing a learning atmosphere consistent with the principles of the Church. 

The BYU Salt Lake Center supports the ideals and principles explained in the Residential Living Standards section of the Brigham Young University Web site (http://honorcode.byu.edu/index) and encourages all students taking classes at the center to comply with them.

Continuing Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement

All BYU Salt Lake Center students are required to obtain a Continuing Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement for each new academic year. Students must have their endorsements completed, submitted, and processed before they can register for fall semester or any semester thereafter.

LDS students must be endorsed by (1) the bishop of the ward in which they live and (2) that holds their current Church membership record.

Salt Lake Center students registering for the first time in classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center must also be endorsed by the stake president of the stake in which they live.

Students of other faiths are to be endorsed by (1) the local leader of their religious preference or (2) by the bishop of the LDS ward in which they currently reside.

Students are expected to abide by all requirements of the BYU Honor Code, Academic Honesty Policy, and the Dress and Grooming Standards and to sign an agreement of commitment.

LDS students must fulfill their duty in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, attend church meetings, and abide by the rules and standards of the Church on and off campus.

Students who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are also expected to maintain the same standard of conduct.  They are encouraged to participate in services of their preferred religion.

Continuing Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement forms can be found on pages XX and XX of this class schedule. They can also be accessed and printed from the BYU Salt Lake Center home page http://ce.byu.edu/sl/clearance_form.pdf

 

Withdrawn Ecclesiastical Endorsement

A student’s endorsement may be withdrawn at any time if the ecclesiastical leader determines that the student is no longer eligible for the endorsement. Students without endorsements, except in unusual circumstances, must discontinue enrollment. Excommunication, disfellowshipment, or disaffiliation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints results in the withdrawal of the student’s endorsement. The decision to withdraw an endorsement may be appealed through the appropriate ecclesiastical channels and then, if appropriate, through a university review process via the Honor Code Office.

Health Insurance Requirement


  • BYU requires all continuing students who are enrolled at least three-quarters time (including Salt Lake Center hours) to have appropriate medical coverage for the duration of their enrollment at BYU. In other words, you must have coverage the entire time you are a continuing BYU student, including during any summers you take off or other short-term breaks from classes.

    To satisfy the university’s insurance requirement, you have several options:

    1. Enroll in the BYU Student Health Plan. 
    2. Enroll in a group medical plan provided by your parent's, your own, or your spouse’s employer.
    3. Purchase an individual plan.

    If you purchase an individual medical plan, it should:

    • provide at least 80 percent coverage for all major medical expenses, including physician, hospital, and ancillary services;
    • have an individual annual deductible of no more than $1,000; and
    • have an annual plan limit of no less than $25,000.

    If you choose a medical plan other than the Student Health Plan, you must provide verification of adequate coverage at the beginning of your first semester or term and annually at the beginning of fall semester. Carefully review any medical plan you are considering to make sure it will provide you with sufficient coverage for your current and future health-care needs. Coverage must be effective by the first day of class.

    Students enrolled at least three-quarters time (9 credit hours per semester or 4.5 credit hours per term, including Salt Lake Center hours) who do not submit proof of private insurance through the Route Y Web site to the BYU health plan office before the deadline each year will automatically be enrolled for individual coverage and assessed the appropriate premium (single or married student rate) for the BYU Student Health Plan.

    Spouses and dependents will not be enrolled automatically the first semester or term that you are on the plan. If you want coverage for your spouse and dependents, you must enroll them in the plan. Once they are enrolled, your dependents will be enrolled automatically at the beginning of each subsequent academic year.
    The BYU Student Health Plan is exempt from regulation as insurance by order of the Utah Department of Insurance. See In re: BYU Student Health Plan , No. 2003-050-AD (November 21, 2003).
    The Student Health Center is not a Medicaid or Medicare provider.

  • Disabilities, Nondiscrimination, Preventing Sexual Harassment

    Students with Disabilities

    BYU is committed to providing a working and learning atmosphere which reasonably accommodates persons with disabilities who are otherwise qualified to participate in BYU’s programs and activities. It is the policy of BYU to prohibit unlawful discrimination against persons with disabilities and to provide reasonable assistance in bringing them into the mainstream of campus life. To accomplish this, BYU complies with all applicable disability laws.

    If you have any disability which may impair your ability to complete courses successfully, please contact the University Accessibility Center (801-422-2767) or the director of the BYU Salt Lake Center (801-933-9400).  Reasonable academic accommodations are reviewed for all students who have qualified documented disabilities.  Services are coordinated with the student and instructor by the University Accessibility Center or the office of the director at the center.  If you need assistance or if you feel you have been unlawfully discriminated against on the basis of disability, you may seek resolution through established grievance policy and procedures.  You should contact the Equal Employment Office on the main campus at 801-422-5895, D-282 ASB.

    Statement of Nondiscrimination

    BYU is committed to providing an academic and employment environment that is free from unlawful discrimination and to achieving a prompt and equitable resolution of all grievances alleging unlawful discrimination which are filed with the university. Unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, veteran status, or disability will not be tolerated. The university policies and procedures with respect to nondiscrimination as it applies to students in the areas of unlawful gender discrimination, unlawful sexual harassment, and inappropriate gender-based behavior are found in separate university policy, Unlawful Sexual Harassment and Inappropriate Gender-Based Behavior policies.

    Preventing Sexual Harassment

    Unlawful discrimination on the basis of gender will not be tolerated whether initiated by university faculty, administrative or staff personnel, students, or third parties on the campus. The university prohibits unlawful sexual harassment against all persons involved in the campus community, including administrators, faculty, staff, students, visitors, vendors, contractors, and other third parties. The university also prohibits inappropriate gender-based behavior in the workplace or in the academic setting directed at another due to that person’s gender and which violates the Church Educational System Honor Code or the individual dignity of university personnel, students or campus visitors, but which does not rise to the level of unlawful sexual harassment.

    If you encounter unlawful sexual harassment or gender-based discrimination, please talk to your professor or contact the Equal Employment Office at 801-422-5895, the Honor Code Office at 801-422-2847, or the BYU Salt Lake Center director at 801-933-9400.

  • FERPA

    Student educational records at BYU are generally accessible to eligible students according to the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). BYU has adopted Access to Student Records Procedures that explain in detail student rights relating to their educational records. A copy of these procedures is available from Student Services at the front desk of the BYU Salt Lake Center.

    The following is a notice of student rights to their educational records, a summary of the procedures for exercising those rights, and a description of student directory information that may be disclosed to the public without the student’s consent as required by law:

    Eligible BYU Salt Lake Center students generally have the right to:

    • Inspect and review their educational records within a reasonable period of time upon submitting to the appropriate department managing their educational records a written request, with proof of identification, specifying the records to be inspected. The department will notify the student of the time and place the records may be inspected.
    • Petition the BYU Salt Lake Center to amend or correct any part of the education record believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of their privacy rights. Students may submit a written request to the department holding the record, clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the department decides not to amend the record as requested, the department will notify the student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures as outlined in university procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
    • Control the disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s educational record, except as otherwise authorized by law. Examples of exceptions to consent for disclosure include:
    • Access of educational records by BYU officials and agents having a legitimate educational interest in the records. This category generally includes any BYU official or agent who accesses student educational records for the purpose of performing a task or responsibility relating to his or her employment or professional responsibility at the university. These individuals may include faculty, administration, staff, and other university agents who manage student educational record information including, but not limited to, student education, discipline, and financial aid.
    • Parents who establish the student’s dependency for federal income tax purposes.
    • Upon request, BYU will disclose educational records without consent to officials of another college or university to which the student seeks or intends to enroll.
    • File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning failures by BYU to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605. www.ed.gov/offices/om/fpco/

Registration

Anyone can register for classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center provided that they have

    • earned a high school diploma,
    • completed their ecclesiastical endorsement,
    • agreed to abide by the Honor Code as published on the BYU Salt Lake Center Web site, and been cleared to register, 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.

Nonadmitted Students

For nonadmitted students, 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 over other applicants in the admission process. If nonadmitted students are later admitted officially to Brigham Young University, their credits count toward graduation requirements in the same way any other university course credits do.

The credits earned at the BYU Salt Lake Center may be transferred to other universities and colleges. For more information, contact the admission office at the selected university or college.

Enrollment as a part-time undergraduate student does not entitle the student to student activity privileges, or physical education suit and facility privileges. Students desiring access to these facilities on the main campus in Provo can pay a $45 fee per semester. For more information, contact the Information Center in 112 RB at 422-3980.

Admitted BYU 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 class schedules.  Students may register for these classes in the same way they register for on-campus classes.

Admitted students to Brigham Young University are required to enroll in at least one class each major semester (fall and winter) in order to maintain their admitted status.  Enrollment at either the BYU Provo campus or the BYU Salt Lake Center will meet this requirement.  If you have not met this enrollment requirement and have not received an approved deferment, you will need to reapply for admission.

Residence Credit

At least 30 credit hours must be earned in residence on 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 the academic advisor in room 329 for more details.

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

International Students

International students must comply with BYU admission requirements prior to taking classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center.  Please contact the BYU International Services Office at 801-422-2695.

High School Concurrent Enrollment

As a high school student, you may enroll under certain circumstances for credit courses after your junior year.  For further information, contact the BYU Admissions Counseling Office at 801-422-2500.

How to Register
(Nonadmitted Students)

Step 1: Obtain Clearance


Clearance to Register/Ecclesiastical Endorsement forms, found on pages xx and xx, 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, access will be given to the registration system. Access to registration is normally available to you after two business days from the time all clearance information has been submitted.  If there are questions regarding  clearance information, the BYU Salt Lake Center will contact the student.

Step 2: Work Out Your 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 you write down all the information for the classes you desire to take and work out a schedule before using the registration system.

Step 3: Register for Classes


Once you have obtained clearance, you may register for classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center by using the AIM registration screens on BYU’s Web site.

Internet access is available at the BYU Salt Lake Center computer lab for those who do not have Internet access available at home.

Class Changes

The BYU Salt Lake Center reserves the right to discontinue, postpone, or combine classes and change instructors. If it is necessary for the center to cancel a class, you will receive a full refund or be able to transfer to another class.

Adding and Dropping Classes

Adding:

AIM (Academic Information Management) online system may be used to add classes until the posted tuition deadline (seven days prior to the first day of class). If tuition is not paid by that deadline, a hold will be placed on the student’s account and no further classes will be added. If tuition has been paid, classes can be added through the end of the add period as normal. Adding classes must be done through AIM. Only classes with seats available may be added.


Dropping:

Use the AIM system to drop classes during the add/drop period (first ten class days of a semester or first six days of a term).

From the third week of classes through the fifth week of a semester (seventh through thirteenth days of a term), pay the $10 fee per class and submit a drop card to the BYU Salt Lake Center Registration Office.  A “W” will appear on a student’s transcript for classes dropped during this time. A “W” is an official withdrawal and does not figure into the GPA.
To drop a class for nonacademic reasons after the drop deadline, a student must submit a drop card and a petition to the BYU Salt Lake Center front office along with a $10 fee for each class you request to be dropped.  Make sure your instructor signs your petition form.

Discontinuance:

Discontinuance, official withdrawal from all classes by a student admitted to BYU, must be done through the Discontinuance Office on the main campus in Provo (801-422-7705). 

Nonadmitted students who are taking classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center and wish to withdraw from all of them should contact the BYU Salt Lake Center registrar (933-9400).

Tuition and Fees

A significant portion of the cost of operating the university is paid from the tithes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Therefore, students and families of students who are tithe-paying members of the Church have already made a contribution to the operation of the university.  Because others will not have made this contribution, they are charged a higher tuition, a practice similar in principle to that of state universities charging higher tuition to nonresidents.

Significant Provisions of the Tuition Policy

Tuition and fees are considered due and payable seven calendar days prior to the first day of class. Failure to pay by the due date will result in a hold being placed on the student’s account restricting their ability to add additional classes.
The hold will not be placed if the student has financial aid (grants, loans, scholarships) sufficient to cover the cost of tuition and fees which have been awarded but have not yet been disbursed to the student’s account. This does not include scholarships or benefits from non-BYU entities (i.e., Off-Campus Scholarships).

The final date to pay tuition will be 11:59 p.m. of the day after the Add Deadline.
If payment is not received by the final payment date, the student’s classes will automatically be deleted.
The student’s classes will not be deleted if the student has financial aid (grants, loans, scholarships) sufficient to cover the cost of tuition and fees which have been awarded but have not yet been disbursed to the student’s account. This does not include scholarships or benefits from non-BYU entities (i.e., Off-Campus Scholarships).


Once a student’s classes have been deleted, the classes will not be reinstated for payments received after the payment deadline.
Because students’ classes are deleted for nonpayment, the university will no longer charge a late payment fee.


The university will continue to charge pro-rata tuition charges for classes dropped which result in a change in enrollment status. In other words, a pro-rata tuition charge will be applied for dropped classes which result in a student moving from full-time to three-quarter time or three-quarter time to part-time or fewer hours within part-time status. However, the process is simplified and more favorable to students. The charges do not begin until after the Add Deadline. Additionally, there are fewer payment tiers and the timing of the tiers will result in lower charges. The pro-rata charge applies to tuition and most class fees. Certain class fees relate to the delivery of required supplies or services and are not refundable.

How to Pay Tuition

Payments may be made online by logging in to Route Y and selecting the “My Financial Account” link under the “School” heading.  This link will give you the options of paying your tuition through “eCheck” or through a third-party vendor with American Express, Discover, or MasterCard credit cards. A 2.75 percent fee of the transaction amount is charged when you use a credit card. VISA is not accepted. You may also submit your tuition payment in person by mail, phone, or Western Union. Complete instructions for payment by all these methods can be found online at http://home.byu.edu/webapp/finserve/content/page/Payment_Options.html

 Refund Policy

Pro-Rata Charges for Dropped Classes
Students may drop classes without penalty until the add deadline. After the add deadline, tuition will be recalculated based on the student’s current enrollment status. A pro-rata tuition charge will be applied for dropped classes that result in a student moving

The recalculation of tuition and fee charges may result in a refund. The amount of the refund a student will receive is based on the date the classes are dropped, or in the case of an official discontinuance, the date that the student reports such discontinuance to the Discontinuance Office (B-150 ASB).

Any refund due the student will be paid by check through the mail approximately ten days after the classes are dropped. If the student has elected direct deposit for student account refunds, the refund will be deposited into the student’s bank. Payments originally paid by credit card will be returned to the credit card. Unpaid university charges may be deducted from the refund amount.

Refunds will not be paid to students whose tuition has been paid by a loan, scholarship, or benefit.

If a student with federal financial aid drops below half-time enrollment (undergraduate, 6 hours per semester or 3 hours per term; graduate, 4.5 hours per semester or 2.5 hours per term), the federal program or lender may require that a portion of the refund be returned.

A petition for exception to the refund schedule will be considered for students forced to discontinue because of circumstances that are beyond their control, such as death in the
immediate family, life-threatening situations, medical incapacitation, a university error, or military leave. Students should not submit petitions based on ignorance of university
policies and procedures. These will be denied. Petition forms are available in D-155 ASB.

Final examinations will be given at the times shown in the class schedule.  Examinations are not given early.  The examination periods are firmly scheduled parts of the semester; you must not make plans that interfere with these important academic activities.  If illness or other uncontrollable circumstances prevent you from taking an examination at the scheduled time, you are responsible to inform the class instructor as soon as possible.  In such a circumstance, your instructor may choose to give the grade of “Incomplete” to you provided you have been attending class and are not failing the course.

 An “Incomplete Contract” must be prepared and signed by both you and the instructor and submitted to the BYU Salt Lake Center.  

Should a conflict arise between the schedules of a day class final exam on campus and a BYU Salt Lake Center exam, priority rests with the day class exam. It is the responsibility of the student to make the conflict known to the BYU Salt Lake Center instructor as soon as possible so an alternative time can be arranged.

For uncontrollable circumstances which warrant consideration for taking an exam at a time other than the scheduled time, a request form is available in the BYU Salt Lake Center testing center.  The student must provide a valid reason for requesting the exception.  Please note: The petition must be approved before an exam can be scheduled at an alternative time.

BYU Salt Lake Center ID


Students taking classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center can obtain a new BYU ID card, available and issued only at the BYU Salt Lake Center.  The old card must be surrendered at the time the new card is received.  This new card will allow access to the Triad Center parking terrace and BYU Salt Lake Center facility. The new card will be valid for services on both the main campus in Provo and the BYU Salt Lake Center.

 

Parking

Parking for BYU Salt Lake Center students is in the parking terrace located at 400 West and North Temple, directly west of the BYU Salt Lake Center Building (Triad 3). A BYU Salt Lake Center ID card, provided by the BYU Salt Lake Center, is required to gain access to the parking terrace. (Please see the map on the back cover of this bulletin.)

Please follow the posted signs to available student parking.  There should be ample parking on any of the six levels. However, you should not park in places posted as reserved for other tenants of the Triad campus.

There is a bridge atop the sixth level of the parking terrace which accesses the third floor of the Salt Lake Center.   We strongly encourage you to use this passageway into the center. You will find this route much more efficient than waiting for an elevator in the lobby of the first floor.

Students with concerns about accessibility should use the elevators in the parking terrace and enter the center through main doors on the first floor.

Parking in the terrace is intended only for students attending classes at the center.  Students coming to Salt Lake City for other purposes should use other available public parking.

Security

The BYU Salt Lake Center  Triad campus is patrolled by officers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints security department and officers form Peak Alarm Company.  These officers are charged with the safety and security of the students, staff, faculty, and tenants of the Triad campus. 

There is continuous camera surveillance of the parking areas and building perimeters.  There are also “Blue Light” emergency call boxes in the parking lots near the elevators for assistance in emergencies.

You should report all suspicious activity to security, including medical emergencies, fire, theft, and vandalism.

Please report all crimes, fires, injuries, and suspicious or unsafe situations to the Security Office immediately.  The emergency phone number is 240-2771.  For non emergencies, call 240-2661.

Lost and Found

The lost and found is located in the BYU Salt Lake Center Library.  All lost items turned in will be recorded in a log book and held at the library for a minimum of thirty days. Every reasonable effort will be made to locate the rightful owner. Items not claimed by the end of each semester will be donated to Deseret Industries.

 To check on lost items, call 933-9421 or come in person to the library.
