Track Decision Process As part of the admission process,BYU-Idaho students are assigned to a specific track that remains permanent through graduation. Track assignments are carefully considered, with the goal of enrolling a balanced and varied student body across all three semesters. The University is committed to providing numerous opportunities to students who come from a variety of backgrounds and share values based on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through this commitment, the University fulfills its mission to provide an educational experience of continually increasing quality. To further enhance the effectiveness of the Three Track System,BYU-Idaho has introduced a two-stage procedure for admission and track assignments. Step 1:Prospective students submit a formal application that screens for admissibility. The Admissions Committee reviews each application. If the applicant is accepted, an offer is extended to attendBYU-Idaho. Step 2:Admitted students then complete a questionnaire that gathers additional personal information to help determine appropriate track assignments. At the same time, the University carefully considers when these students are needed most on campus in order to enroll a balanced and varied student body across all three semesters. Once all the information is individually reviewed, a track assignment is made. This two-staged process provides the essential balanceBYU-Idaho is trying to achieve. Students and employees will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from others with differing geographic, educational, and cultural backgrounds. The University is committed to Christ. This will create a distinctive learning environment that is integral to theBYU-Idaho experience. Year-Round Enrollment Options Including Flex Semester Students are required to enroll in at least one class each semester of their track assignment or defer their enrollment in order to maintain their active enrollment status atBYU-Idaho. Wondering what to do in your 'flex semester' (the semester you aren't assigned to attendBYU-Idaho)? Consider these options:Online Courses fromBYU-Idaho can be taken in any semester, regardless of track assignment, and from anywhere in the world where internet access is available. This option is frequently used by students who want to continue their education while working. For students who have been admitted and assigned a track, no separate application is required to enroll in these courses. Working Many students will take advantage of their flex semester to work and save money that will help offset the upcoming costs of their education. Many students have found that the Three Track System schedule provides a calendar that supports work opportunities very well suited to their future career, or which they may not have had otherwise. Internships Internships are required for mostBYU-Idaho degrees and can be done in any semester of the year, whether during your track or flex semester. You can contactBYU-Idaho's Academic Discovery Center for more information about when to plan your internship. Overrides When space is available,BYU-Idaho may extend invitations to students to attend as full-time students during a student's flex semester as a means of helping students graduate more quickly. This opportunity is by invitation only. Returning Missionary Program Students who come home just before the beginning of their flex semester may be eligible for a one-time enrollment override to facilitate prompt entry into school. Expanding Flex Semester Enrollment Even without an override, students with 60+ credits earned can enroll in 300 and 400 level classes in their flex semester if there is available space on the day before classes begin. Transfer Work Many students capitalize on the Three Track System by taking courses at other colleges/universities during their flex semester. This usually works best for students whose flex semester is Fall or Winter. For information about transferring credits toBYU-Idaho, emailtransfer@byui.eduor visit our transfer course matrix page. We encourage students to work closely with the Academic Discovery Center if they want to pursue this option. Block Classes For convenience or scheduling purposes, some students choose to take courses offered on an abbreviated schedule called 'block classes'. These classes typically last for half the semester (about 7 weeks) and usually meet every day during that time. A student must be on-track or have an override for the semester in order to take block classes during the day. Summer SessionBYU-Idaho offers courses between Spring and Fall semesters on a 7-week schedule called Summer Session.

We do know awarding and funding from the 2024-2025 F A F S A will not be ready for the start of Spring 2024 semester. We will update this page when there is additional information available. Summer 2024 session federal aid offers will be coming from the 2024-2025 F A F S A. Major Changes Due to recent legislation, major changes are here for the 2024-2025 F A F S A form. These changes are designed to simplify the F A F S A application process. Here are some changes you can expect for the 2024-2025 F A F S A:A Simplified F A F S A Form means fewer questions for you to answer. Total number of questions have been reduced from 108 to 46. The dynamic form may not present you with all 46 questions. All contributors (you, your spouse, your parents, or your stepparent) to your F A F S A must give consent for Direct Data Retrieval to automatically transfer tax information from the I R S. Changes to asset reporting for small business owners, family farms, and child support. Students and families will measure their ability to pay for college using the Student Aid Index (S A I) instead of the Expected Family Contribution (E F C). The number of household members in college will continue to be asked but will not be factored into calculating the S A I. Unborn children can no longer be included in household size. Pell Grants A new formula will be used to determine Well Grant awards and students may see changes in their Well Grant eligibility from previous years. Well Grants will link more directly to the Adjusted Gross Income (A G I) on the taxes, as well as family size and the federal poverty level. Pell Grant eligibility was previously calculated based on whether your E F C fell within a certain range. Now, Well Grant eligibility will be determined in three ways:Maximum Well:If your S A I is between -1500 and 0, you may qualify for the Maximum Well Grant (which has not yet been determined by the government). Eligibility is based on your family's A G I, tax filing status, and annual U.S. poverty guidelines for family size and state of residency. Minimum Well:You may qualify for a Minimum Well Grant if your S A I is greater than the maximum Well Grant award for the academic year. Eligibility is based on your A G I, tax filing status, and the annual U.S. poverty guidelines for family size and state of residence. S A I Calculated Well:If you do not qualify for a Maximum Well Grant, or Minimum Well Grant you may still qualify if your S A I is less than the maximum Well Grant award allowed for the academic year. Your full-time Well amount would be equal to the maximum Well Grant amount minus your S A I. Note:If your Calculated Well is greater than the Maximum Well or lower than the Minimum Well, you would not qualify for a Well Grant. Also, if your F A F S A is not flagged by the government as eligible for a Well Grant, you would not qualify for the award. You can use the Federal Student Aid Estimator to estimate your possible S A I and Well Grant eligibility. Pell Grant Enrollment Intensity Previously, students were awarded Well Grants based on enrollment levels (Full-time, time, time, and less than half-time). Starting in 2024-2025 Well Grants will be awarded based on actual enrollment in Program Applicable credits from 1 12 credits.

Check the list for your issue and a possible workaround. Some F A F S A applications have experienced processing or data errors and will need to be reprocessed before aid can be awarded. Corrections Some students are receiving notifications that they have errors that need to be corrected on their F A F S A, but they are unable to make any corrections. The Department of Education is now allowing student to correct errors on their F A F S A application. If you need to make corrections, you can log in to your F A F S A and submit them. For instructions on correcting your F A F S A go tostudentaid.gov. Common Corrections: adding schools, providing a signature, and allowing for I R S data to be shared. Apply for a Direct Unsubsidized Loan Question for Dependent Students This question on the F A F S A can be confusing for Dependent students. By marking yes a student is indicating that their parents refuse to provide their information on the F A F S A. Without parent information, a student is only eligible for a Direct Unsubsidized loan. Marking yes on this question will bypass all other questions about your parents and provide eligibility only for an unsubsidized loan. Be sure to mark No and provide your parent'information if you want to be considered for Well Grant and Federal Direct Subsidized Loans. Provisionally Independent Status If you mark on the F A F S A that you are unaccompanied and homeless, self-supporting and at risk of being homeless, or unable to provide parent information on the F A F S A, you will receive a provisionally independent status and an S A I. Then you will need to provide supporting documentation of your circumstance to the financial aid office. See our petitions website for more information on these petitions. If your documentation is not sufficient to show that you should be considered independent, you will be considered a dependent student and will need to return to the F A F S A and submit your parent information.

You are still required to pay back the gross amount you accept. Current interest rates and origination fees for all Direct Loans can be found here. Requirements To receive a Direct Student Loan, borrowers must be enrolled in at least 6 program applicable credits.

Borrower Responsibilities and Repayment Maintain contact and communication with loan servicers Borrowers can identify their loan servicers by visitingstudentaid.gov. Servicers regularly send messages to communicate with borrowers regarding disbursement notifications, interest bills, enrollment changes, grace period notifications, interest notices, and repayment notifications/obligations. Borrowers are responsible to inform the servicer if:There is a name change The permanent address changes The Social Security number changes The projected graduation date changes The student withdraws from school The student transfers to another school The student drops below half-time status (below 6 credits)The student desires to apply for a deferment or a forbearance The student is having any difficulty repaying the loan Borrowers should retain copies of all letters sent to the servicer. Borrowers are also encouraged to log all telephone calls to the servicer by noting dates, the name of the person contacted, and what he/she was told. Confirm Enrollment Verification with loan servicer Loan servicers check a students enrollment status on the National Student Clearinghouse to see if students are enrolled in at least six credits. The National Student Clearinghouse is not updated until approximately month into the semester. If you are not listed as currently enrolled, you will most likely receive notification from your servicer that you are entering repayment. You can print and send to your servicer an Enrollment Verification. You are responsible to inform or correct the loan servicer of any errors or inaccuracies regarding your enrollment status, not the Financial Aid Office. Repay loans after grace period expires Borrowers are not required to start repaying their subsidized and/or unsubsidized loans until their grace period starts (either six months after graduation or dropping below 6 program applicable credits). Borrowers with unsubsidized loans can reduce the amount of interest accruing on the loans by beginning repayment earlier. Grace periods begin on the day immediately following the day a borrower stops attending school at least half-time (6 program applicable credits) and ends on the day before the repayment period begins. The grace period isn't used up during shorter periods of non-enrollment. For instance, borrowers who miss a semester (4 months) but resume their studies with at least 6 program applicable credits before the six months end will still be eligible for the full six-month grace period when they drop below 6 program applicable credits again or graduates.BYU-Idaho is not a party in the loan contract and therefore is not involved in mediating loan arrangements, accepting loan or interest payments, or contacting the loan servicer. Borrowers can log in tostudentaid.govt identify their loan servicer in order to make arrangements for loan repayment. Borrowers should receive their Repayment Schedule during the grace period. If you did not receive this, it is your responsibility to contact your servicer. Payments must begin after the six-month grace period has elapsed. Early Repayments Borrowers will not be penalized by making early payments on their loans. Additionally, making early payments on a student loan before a grace period ends does not obligate the borrower to continue making payments.

During deferment, the borrowers monthly principal payments are postponed, and the federal government pays the interest on Federal Subsidized Direct Loans. For a Federal Unsubsidized Direct borrower, monthly payments are postponed, but the borrower is responsible for all the interest that accrues. Depending on which deferment the borrower qualifies for, the length of the deferment varies. Borrowers must apply for the deferment in writing by using a form provided by their servicer. Borrowers with an outstanding balance on a Stafford Loan prior to July 1, 1993, do not qualify for the hardship deferment and must apply for a forbearance. Loan Forbearance If students are not eligible for deferment, but are experiencing some financial difficulty, they may apply for forbearance. A forbearance is a servicer option. Forbearance is the temporary cessation of payments or acceptance of smaller payments than were previously scheduled. The servicer may grant forbearance for principal, interest, or both. Forbearance requires a written agreement between the borrower and servicer. Unlike periods of deferment, the borrower is responsible for repayment of interest which accrues during forbearance. Religious Missions The U.S. Department of Education has indicated that a borrower who is serving in a religious proselytizing capacity (missionary service) and is not employed during that period may qualify for aforbearancefor reduced payment. Loan Consolidation Loan Consolidations the combining of existing student loans into one new loan. Generally, this results in lower monthly payments but higher interest costs. Loan Cancellation There are three provisions for cancellation of Federal Direct Loans:The death of the student becomes totally and permanently disabled The school closes, and the student is not able to finish their program Phone: your loan servicer if you feel you qualify for Loan Cancellation. Default If a borrower fails to make payments for six months or more, their loan will go into default. Defaulting on a loan is a serious matter. When borrowers enter default, they immediately become ineligible for any federal funds at any school. In the event of default, the borrower's guarantee agency purchases the loan from his/her servicer and begins collection activity against him/her until the loan has been repaid. This activity may include, but is not limited to:Reporting the borrower's default to a credit bureau. Reporting the borrower's default to the Internal Revenue Service, causing their federal tax refunds to be withheld and applied toward their loan balance. Many states also withhold state income tax refunds. Garnishing the borrower's wages If you are having difficulty making your payments, contact your servicer immediately. Your loan servicer's contact information can be found on their dashboard after they log intostudentaid.gov.BYU-Idaho is required to publish the institutions loan default rate for federal loans. The current institutional default rate is 1%. Questions?

Typically, students who are independent qualify for better aid options because they are not required to list their parents' income information on the F A F S A. When a dependent student gets married,BYU-Idaho does allow the student to petition to change their marital status which changes a student from dependent to independent and may help the student receive a better federal award package. To determine if a student qualifies to change their marital status follow the directions below:Who is Eligible to Change Their Marital Status2023-2024 Academic Year:Students may only petition to change their marital status on the F A F S A for the 2023-2024 school year if they are married by December 31, 2023. Any students married after December 31, 2023, will not qualify to change their marital status on the 2023-2024 F A F S A. Students whore married before December 31, 2023, and wish to change their 2023-2024 F A F S A must update their 2023-2024 F A F S A to reflect their change in marital status by May 31, 2024.

If it is 0, the student is already receiving the maximum amount of Well and is not eligible to change their marital status. If the students E F C is greater than 0, the student should use the Federal Student Aid Estimator to determine if changing their marital status is actually in their best interest. If the Aid Estimator predicts the student will receive a better award package than he/she currently has, the student should make the marital status change. Otherwise, the student should take no action. If the student determines he/she should update their marital status on the F A F S A, the student must:Log into the originally submitted F A F S A using their F S A I D. Choose make a correction.

Waiting until the last minute means missed deadlines and missed opportunities. The more local the scholarship, the higher the percentage to win because fewer students qualify, and most qualifiers do not apply! Tap into organizations and businesses where you already have connections: parents employers, Booster clubs, sports teams, and alumni. Ask your guidance counselors and teachers at your high school what is available. Ask for the senior awards night program from last year and study it. Who won last year's awards? Ask them for advice. Why did they win, and who decides? Was it one of your counselors? The business owner? Reach out to that decision-maker! Your employer may provide T U I T I O N A S S I S T A N C E P R O G R A M S and S C H O L A R S H I P S! Check with H R to see how to qualify, and then be sure to follow up with all documentation! If your parents are serving or have served in the military, scholarships may be available for you through their military branch. Use legitimate and vetted resources. You should never Payton apply for a scholarship! Many scholarships are geared around hobbies and interests. Find unique things about yourself and search for scholarships. Follow the instructions! Answer every question. Watch the word count on essays and be creative. Check your grammar. Submit early! Market yourself! Make yourself stand out. Take the time to self-evaluate. What can you do that no one else can? Then be specific about your experience, passion, skills, and qualifications for each specific application. Provide the correct amount of recommendation letters. Ask those who write one for you to be specific about your qualifications for that scholarship. Save your essay(s) in a Word document to edit and use for the next application.

Introduction Saving money is the simple act of setting aside a portion of your income each time you receive it. When it comes to saving money in college, it may seem like an impossible task. Many people tend to pay for living expenses before tithing and savings. Even though rent, food, and other bills are important, paying for them first often overwhelms your ability to save for the future and build financial security. The better approach is to pay tithing first, then yourself (savings), then living expenses. Use the Semester Financial Plan (blue button) to help you find ways to save extra money. Your savings should be focused on three main areas:Emergencies: Save $500 as soon as possible to help guard against life's little surprises. Purchases: Want a newer car/computer/etc.? Save for it. Purposefully setting aside funds for larger purchases will get you there sooner than you think. Long-term/retirement: Thinking about this now will help you avoid a lot of stress later.

How Does This Affect Financial Aid? Federal Aid Dropping credits before and after the F A DD may affect your federal financial aid. Because of the complexities involved, it is highly recommended students contact the Financial Aid Office prior to dropping credits. University Aid All students receiving aBYU-Idaho Scholarship or Talent Scholarship will have their scholarship award amount finalized at 11:59 pm on the advertised F A D, based upon the number of total credits (P A and non-P A) the student is enrolled in at that moment. Waitlisted courses do not count as enrolled courses and will not be looked at on the F A D.BYU-Idaho and Talent Scholarships will be taken away/added back and adjusted on a student's account until the F A D. Dropping credits before the F A D may affect these scholarships, while dropping credits after the F A D will not. Awards may take 24 hours to update after courses are added or dropped." - }, - { - "id": "90", - "title": "Financial Aid", - "content": "Students receiving Federal and University Aid are subject to a Financial Aid Determination Date (F A D) for each semester aid is received. The Financial Aid Office determines the students official registration as of 11:59 pm M T on the students F A D. This measurement is an automatic process. Students who are not registered at this time are not eligible for Federal or University Aid. For full semester and 1st block classes, the F A D is normally the end of the 23rd day of the semester or when it is determined the student has a valid F A F S A, whichever is later. For students who are takingonly2ndblock classes, the 2ndblock F A D applies. However, students taking 2ndblock classes in addition to full semester and/or 1stblock classes are subject to the full-semester F A D for A L classes. Semester-specific full semester, 1stblock, and 2ndblock F A D DS can be found on the Dates and Deadlines page.**University Aid is subject to the full-semester F A D only, even when students are only enrolled in all 2ndblock classes. F A D and Program Applicability Students willonlyreceive federal financial aid for coursesrequiredfor their declared Program. A Programs a student's declared major in an eligible catalog year, along with all other required components (emphasis, minor, cluster). These requirements are determined by Academic Advising. If you have questions about the applicability of your particular classes, meet with an Academic Advisor as soon as possible. Courses must be programed applicable before F A D to be eligible for aid. Students can view their enrolled program applicable courses by viewing the Program Applicability Tool (P A T). Federal Aid will not disburse for classes that are substituted and become program applicable after the F A D deadline. Substitutions can take up to 1-2 weeks to process depending on the department of the major. Students will need to coordinate with academic advising and the Department Chair of their major to ensure their classes are eligible for aid by the Financial Aid Determination Date. Dropping Classes Before or on the F A D Students who completely withdraw from classes:University Scholarships, Well Grants, and Direct Student Loans will be evaluated to determine how much the student is required to repay. Students who drop one or more (but not all classes) on or before 11:59 pm M T of the students F A D:University Scholarships (including theBYU-Idaho Scholarship) may be prorated down or canceled completely depending on the change in credits. Pell Grants may be prorated down or canceled completely depending on the change in program applicable credits. Direct Student Loans (Subsidized and Unsubsidized)will not be returned if the funds have already been disbursed to the students account. Undisturbed loans may be prorated down or canceled completely depending on the change in program applicable credits. N O T E: Students enrolled in a full semester and/or 1stblock classes must be registered for 2ndblock classes by the full semester F A D for their total credits to count toward their financial aid. Waitlisted or audited classes do N O T count. Dropping Classes After the F A D Students who completely withdraw or reduce their credits after the full semester F A D will not be required to return University Scholarships. Students who reduce their credits after their F A D will not be required to return their Well Grant as long as they participated in the course(s) they dropped. Students who completely withdraw after their F A D will have their Well Grant and Direct Student Loans evaluated to determine how much they are required to repay. Their courses will be checked for participation. Students who stop participating in but do not drop their classes (receive all U W grades) will be checked for participation and may be required to return all or a portion of their semester federal funds to the university. Students who drop any or all their semester classes after the F A D will receive \"W\" grades on their transcript. Withdrawing from classes after F A D can negatively impact a students Satisfactory Academic Progress (S A P)status, potentially making them ineligible for future Federal Aid. Federal and University Aid will not disburse for classes that are re-instated after the F A D deadline. If a student drops a class and is required to return aid, they must reinstate themselves back into the same class they dropped by the F A D deadline. Submitting an F A F S A After the Priority Deadline Students who submit their F A F S A after the priority deadline are at risk of having a different F A D than the date advertised on the Academic Deadlines calendar. If a students F A F S A is processed after the semesters advertised F A D, that students F A D is the date their F A F S A is processed and awards will be set for the credits enrolled in on that date. Example:If a student registers for 6 program applicable credits but is late to receive their loan offers because the students F A F S A is still being processed, the student is at risk of having a different F A D than the date advertised on the Academic Deadlines calendar. For example, the student drops to 5 credits the day after the advertised F A D and the students F A F S A completes processing a week later, the students awards will be based on those 5 credits, not the credits enrolled in on the advertised F A D. If this student were to re-enroll in 6 or more program applicable credits, loans may be offered, but not Well Grants. Example:A student is registered for 12 program applicable credits, but the students F A F S A is still being verified. If the student drops to 3 program applicable credits the day after the advertised F A D date and the students F A F S A does not complete verification until 4 weeks after the advertised F A D date, the student will only receive the awards they qualify to receive for being enrolled in 3 program applicable credits.

Step 3: Register for Program Applicable (P A) Classes Federal Aid can only be given for classes needed for graduation, known as Program Applicable (P A). Check your degree audit to see which courses are required for your major. The Program Applicability Tool helps confirm which of your registered courses qualify for federal aid. Federal Financial Aid will prorate based on the amount of P A credit you are enrolled in. To get the maximum federal aid you need to enroll in 12 P A credit. If your courses are not P A will not be eligible for aid. Step 4: Satisfactory Academic Progress (S A P) Standards To remain eligible for Federal Financial Aid you must be meeting the Satisfactory Academic Progress S A P Standards after grades run each semester. Step 5: Know Dates and Deadlines Consistently checking the federal and university dates and deadline swill ensure applications, documentation, and registration are completed on time. Dropping classes before and after the Financial Aid Determination Date (F A D) or deferring for the semester can affect your financial aid eligibility now and in the future. Before you drop classes, make sure to talk to a financial aid counselor to see how your aid will be affected. Step 6: Plan Ahead Your financial aid awards may not be enough to cover the Cost of Attendance. Working hard and saving money before coming to school can greatly reduce the stress of paying for college. Create a budget and stick to it! UtilizeBYU-Idahos Financial Wellness Program. Search the student job board for on-campus employment options and help wanted postings for other local jobs. Step 7: Accept Loans if Necessary For some students, work income, Well Grant, and Scholarships may not be enough to cover all educational expenses. Student Loans, when used responsibly, can be an additional resource. Once your F A F S A has been processed loans can be accepted through your financial aid portal. Direct Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (M P N) must be completed before loans can be disbursed. Step 8: How Does My Aid Pay for School? The first week of the semester your federal aid and university scholarships will be applied towards your tuition, class fees, and room and board (if you live at Centre Square or University Village). Any excess funds will process to your student account. The safest and quickest way for you to receive excess funds is bye Refund. You can authorize the use of your federal financial aid to pay for other educational fees such as your student health care plan, health center, and university store charges, parking permits, and/or fines, by completing the federal financial aid authorization." - }, - { - "id": "103", - "title": "Office of the President", - "content": "Henry J.

OnlyBYU-Idaho policies can be appealed; federal guidelines and/or requirements cannot be appealed through this committee. Academic Renewal Please refer to the official University catalog for information on the Academic Renewal policy. Alternate Ways to Earn Credit B Y U I offer three alternate ways to earn credit:Vertical Credit Competency Credit Military Credit Auditing a Course Students who audit a class are not responsible for attendance, daily preparations, or examinations, and no grade is reported or recorded on the permanent academic record. An Incomplete (I) grade may not be made up by repeating the class as an audit. Students must first register for the class for credit and then complete the Audit Request Form. For questions, please contactregistration@byui.edu. Tuition for audit classes is assessed on the same basis as for-credit classes. Students may not change from credit to audit after the deadline to drop a course without earning a W. Students wishing to change from audit to credit after the deadline to drop a course without earning a W must receive instructor approval. Registered students who drop all credit section(s) and only have audit section(s) remaining during a term in which they are required to enroll to maintain their admission status are considered withdrawn from the University effective the last drop date of the non-audit section(s). Students will need to re-apply through the Admissions Office for the next available semester. Departments have the right to refuse to allow students to audit individual courses. The Department Chair must report all courses that students may not audit to the Student Records and Registration Office. Generally, students may not audit a Foundations or online section. Audit restrictions will remain in effect until they are removed by the Department Chair. Changes in Final Grade During the open grading period, instructors can modify midterm or final grades via the Grade Entry Portal onstudent.byui.edu. Once the grading period closes, a change in the final grade needs to be submitted by the instructor using theBYU-Idaho Grade Change Portal. Change in Final Grade Forms is available from department secretaries or the Student Records and Registration Office. Online instructors can seek assistance to change a final grade from the Online Learning Office. Once submitted to Student Records and Registration, the grade change will be entered within 48 business hours, and an email notification of the change will be sent to both the student and the instructor. Pass and FailBYU-Idaho offers a limited number of pass/fail courses. Students in these classes receive no letter grade; instead, they either pass or fail depending on whether they have met the course criteria. All pass credits count toward graduation but are not included in G P A calculation. Courses designated as letter grades cannot be changed to pass/fail, and courses designated as pass/fail cannot be changed to letter grades. Progress and Non-progress Grades Progress grades include both attempted and earned credits (A, B, C, D)Non-progress grades include attempted but not earned credits (F, W, U W, I, T)Retakes and Repeats Repeat Classes allow a class to be taken two or more times for additional credit. Most classes atBYU-Idaho are not repeatable for credit. Departments establish the maximum number of times a class can be repeated. A repeated class does not replace the former grade or credit of a previously repeated class. Approval to enroll in a repeatable course for the purpose of replacing a previous credit grade must be obtained from the Academic Exceptions Committee prior to registering for the course. Retake Classes Please refer to the official University catalog for information on the retake policy.

An individual grade of \"C\" equates to a 2.0 G P A and is defined in theBYU-Idaho Academic Catalog as a \"sufficient understanding of subject.\" A student with less than a cumulative G P A of 2.0 for all coursework would not have a sufficient understanding in their program of study. Therefore, only students who have acquired, at minimum, a sufficient understanding of the subject can be awarded aBYU-Idaho degree. Where can students find their cumulative G P A? Grad Planner Students can find their cumulative G P A on the top of their Grad Plan, after logging in. Unofficial Transcript The cumulative G P A is located at the bottom of a student's unofficial transcript, found on the Student Tab ofstudent.byui.edu. Select \"Unofficial Transcript\" on the left navigation bar, then proceed to click \"P D F Unofficial Transcript\" in the center of the page. What happens if a student cumulative G P A falls below 2.0? Students whose cumulative G P A falls below 2.0 will not automatically become ineligible. Improved student success and retention efforts, currently being led byBYU-Idaho's Academic Advising Center and Student Success and Retention Office, were implemented to assist students in successfully improving their academic performance and continuing their progress toward degree completion.

A student's Academic Standing is also located on the Student Tab ofstudent.byui.edu. Look for \"Academic Status\" on the right side of the \"Academic Summary\" chart. What is the impact of becoming Ineligible? A student with an academic status of ineligible:May not register forBYU-Idaho courses May not work inBYU-Idaho student employment May not live inBYU-Idaho approved housing May not attendBYU-Idaho If ineligible, how long am I prevented from enrolling in courses? Students who are academically ineligible are prevented from enrolling in any course for two consecutive semesters, including online courses or internships. In order to return toBYU-Idaho following the two semesters of ineligibility, the student will need topetitionfor approval to again enroll in courses and return to Eligible academic standing. Why do I need to petition to again enroll in courses and return to eligible status?BYU-Idaho is committed to each students' success. Before allowing an ineligible student to return toBYU-Idaho, the University wants to ensure the student has taken the necessary steps to change any factors that prevented previous academic success. During the petition process, students will be asked to outline what steps they have taken to prepare for a successful return toBYU-Idaho. Students who have merely sat out for two semesters without taking any steps to improve the likelihood of academic success will not be approved to return toBYU-Idaho. What can I do during the two semesters of ineligibility to increase the likelihood of a successful return? While each student's circumstances are unique, there are generally applicable options a student may take to increase the likelihood of a successful return:Resolve any personal challenges that previously prevented academic success. Create a specific plan and set goals to ensure future academic success. Engage in meaningful career exploration and decision-making. As applicable, seek assistance and support from family, ecclesiastical leaders, and others. Take action to strengthen financial stability. Successfully complete courses at a different school (local community college, Institute, etc.). When would my academic standing change to ineligible? A student's academic status will become Ineligible if there is no probable way for the student to attain a 2.0 cumulative G P A required to earn a degree within 180 attempted credits.BYU-Idaho is committed to each students' success. When a student struggles to maintain a 2.0 cumulative G P A over an extended period (as a result of poor grades in one or more courses each term), the risk of negative academic and financial impact increases significantly. In order to assist students in stopping and reversing this trend, the students enrollment status will be changed to ineligible, and a hold will be placed on their account to prevent further enrollment in courses. The intent of this academic status and enrollment ineligibility is to allow the student time to identify those factors preventing academic success. Time away from school is intended to help the student resolve and correct those factors, so academic success can be achieved when the student returns toBYU-Idaho. How does this policy show concern for students who are struggling academically? One of the hallmarks of theBYU-Idaho experience is the concern faculty and administration have for students and their academic success. Because of this focus,BYU-Idaho's Academic Standards Policy was designed to help students persist in their academic goals to completion of their desired program. Additionally, outreach efforts have been designed to identify at-risk students and provide immediate help in developing a personalized academic success plan." - }, - { - "id": "116", - "title": "How withdrawn grades, temporary grades, and non-reported grades affect overall student grades and credits.", - "content": "Submitting Final Grades The Grade Submission Portal allows instructors to import your grades from I Learn. However, faculty who do not use I-Learn will now also easily enter their grades through this new portal. The portal will import grades as they have been calculated in I-Learn. Therefore, keeping grades up-to-date in I-Learn is key to the portals' convenience. Once imported, instructors can modify any grade before they are submitted to Student Records and Registration. Access the Grade Submission Portal by one of the following methods:Grade Submission Portal:tutorial Direct Link N O T E: Non-reported grades negatively impact students in many ways including academic standing, awarding of degrees, employment and graduate school opportunities, and completion of final transcripts. Therefore, the timely submission of grades is very important. W (Withdrawal)W grades are placed on your academic record (transcript) if you drop a class anytime after the 22nd day in a semester (or after the 15th day in a block) up until the final drop deadline, for any reason. W grades are N O T calculated into your grade point average (G P A). W grades remain on your transcript even if you re-take the class at a later date. W grades are considered non-progress grades and are calculated into the 75% progress requirement. If you are receiving Federal Financial Aid, you must check with that office to determine how W grades affect your eligibility. U W (Unofficial Withdrawal) and F (Fail)A U W grade represents an unofficial withdrawal which is given to a student who meets all the following criteria:The student did not complete proper withdrawal procedures from the course (i.e. did not drop the class within the established academic deadlines). The student has a record of non-attendance. The student did not complete any work, tests, or class-related assignments after attendance ceased. The students record of non-attendance began before the last date to drop classes without receiving the grade earned (June 15 for full-semester Summer 2008 classes or June 30 for second block Summer 2008 classes). Based on this information, an F grade is appropriate if:The student does not have a record of non-attendance and the students academic performance warrants a failing grade The students record of non-attendance began after the last date to drop a class without receiving the grade earned (June 15 for full-semester Summer 2008 classes or June 30 for second block Summer 2008 classes). Both an F and a U W are calculated into the G P A as a failing grade value (0.0). T (Temporary)\"T\" grades represent a temporary grade that was assigned for courses that do not fall within the normal academic deadlines of any given semester (e.g. internships, student teaching, tours). T grades can only be assigned by the Student Records and Registration Office for courses that meet these conditions. T grades do not impact a students G P A bit may impact Satisfactory Academic Standing in that the credits for the course are counted as attempted, but not yet earned. Therefore, instructors over courses for which T grades are assigned are encouraged to submit their final grades as soon as the coursework is completed. N R (Non-reported)\"N R\" represents that the grade was not reported by the instructor. A student receiving an \"N R\" grade should contact the instructor to request that a valid grade be submitted to the Student Records and Registration Office. As with T Grades, N R grades do not impact a students G P A, but may impact Satisfactory Academic Standing in that the credits for the course are counted as attempted, but not yet earned. Therefore, instructors over courses for which N R grades were assigned are encouraged to submit their final grades as soon as possible I (incomplete)An incomplete grade (I) is a conditional grade only granted under the following circumstances:Extenuating circumstances occurred (serious illness, personal injury, death in the immediate family, etc.) that hindered class work and occurredafterthe tenth week of a semester or the fourth week of a block. The student must have a passing grade at the time of petitioning for the incomplete grade. It is not a substitute for a failing grade. Therefore, an incomplete grade should not be granted if the student is failing a class and wants additional time to submit make-up work in order to improve a grade. The student must be able to complete the remaining work on an individual basis with the instructor. Re-enrollment in all or part of the same course during a subsequent semester may not be required as part of the contract. The general length of time to fulfill the requirements of an incomplete contract is one additional semester; however, if circumstances warrant, the instructor may contact Student Records and Registration to extend the length of the contract. Instructor approval is mandatory, and the instructor may choose not to allow an incomplete contract since it requires the instructor to individually work with the student in addition to his or her normal workload. Incomplete Grade Contracts can be initiated through Canvas by selecting the Course Help button in your individual section. From there, you can select Incomplete Contracts and complete a brief form summarizing your request. Once filled out and submitted, the Incomplete Grade request will be processed by the B Y U I Student Records & Registration office.

This video explains what F E R P A is, the policies that guide it, how it protects students and the university, and what measuresBYU-Idaho has taken to ensure all student records are kept secure and private. Parent/Guardian Grade Request Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (F E R P A)The United States Congress passed the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (F E R P A)in 1974 to afford certain rights to students concerning their education records. The primary rights afforded to students who attend a postsecondary school such as Brigham Young University-Idaho are the right to inspect and review their education records, the right to seek to have their records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of information from the records. Brigham Young University-Idaho may not disclose information contained in education records without the student's written consent except under certain limited conditions. Notification of Rights under F E R P A F E R P A law requires thatBYU-Idaho annually notify students and employees of the education record rights afforded to students. The following information serves as that annual notification. These rights include:1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. (Does not apply to grade changes.) They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.3. The right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that F E R P A authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.4.

Because of this, students will be able to explore their chosen major sooner to determine if it is a good fit for them. Articulation Guide Current General Education Program Provides Greater Flexibility The strength of the current G E program is that it keeps the academic core requirements from Foundations but adds greater flexibility for students in their selection of exploratory credits. Students may choose between 3-6 credits (for a total of 15 exploratory credits) in the following three areas: Natural Science, Arts, and Humanities, and Social Science. This gives students the opportunity to take more courses that complement their major and career interests. This can help students determine if their declared major is the right fit for them early in their educational experience.

To exercise faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is to accept Him as our Savior and live in accordance with His will through repentance and obedience to His commandments. Learning to act in accordance with one's faith in Christ is fundamental to enjoying deep, life-changing learning. Learners and teachers who center their faith in the Savior \"look unto [Him] in every thought\" such that they do not doubt their capacity to learn, nor fear their opportunities to teach (D&C 6:36). The power we access by acting in faith that is focused on the Savior allows us to exceed our natural limits and learn beyond our natural capabilities. This enabling power is manifest through the bestowal of spiritual gifts, accelerated learning, enhancement of natural abilities, discernment, and personal revelation.

Packer, \"The Candle of the Lord,\" Ensign, Jan. 1983, p. 51\"Somewhere in your quest for spiritual knowledge, there is that 'leap of faith,' as philosophers call it, it is the moment when you have gone to the edge of the light and stepped into the darkness to discover that the way is lighted ahead for just a footstep or two. The 'spirit of man', ...as the scripture says, indeed, is the candle of the Lord (Proverbs 20:27).\" Howard W. Hunter, \"That We Might Have Joy\", S L C: Desert Book Co., 1994, pp. 3-4\"Only Christ can be our ideal, our 'bright and morning star'(Revelations 22:16). Only He can say without any reservation, 'Follow me, learn of me, do the things you have seen me do. Drink of my water and eat of my bread. I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the law and the light. Look unto me and ye shall live. Love one another as I have loved you.' (See Matt 11:29;16:24;John 4:13-14;6:35,51;7:37;13:34;14:6;3 Ne. 15:9;27:21).\" Applications Design learning experiences in which students are required by their participation to discern how their current way of thinking and acting is limiting them from learning and applying an important concept. Respond to a question in order to understand and act on impressions that seem significant, but have yet to be formulated. Change one's instruction to explore a direction in the discussion that seems fruitful, but wasn't included in the lesson plan. Examples The teacher opens a class with a brief faith-based story and ties it in with the learning process. The story is about Russell M. Nelson and his struggle to treat an ailing heart patient. Diligent study and consultation with experts had yielded little guidance, but an open-heart surgery was scheduled anyway. Much prayer and fasting was performed by Dr. Nelson, again with little result until he reached the scrub room where he says the knowledge was given him from above on the cause of the problem and how best to surgically treat it. The class continues with a prayer and discussion. Towards the end of the class the teacher calls on David to prepare and deliver a review of a reading at the next meeting. Knowing David feels uncomfortable in the assignment, the teacher invites him to consider the experience of Elder Nelson and apply it to his own life. The next semester the teacher opens class with a brief faith-based story about a student named David. Teacher and student take a thoughtful evaluation and inventory of life. They realize that in most things they are doing pretty well, but they can feel the gentle \"pulling\" of the Spirit and recognize they are not reaching their highest spiritual or academic potential. Humbly, they commit to greater obedience to overcome \"one thing,\" that for a moment, is holding them back. In doing so, they ask for revelation to learn the principle, as well as determination to live it with greater intent. Invitations What area of my life can I change to live with greater obedience and commitment to the Savior? How can I more effectively look unto Christ in every thought so that faith in the Savior motivates and directs me in all that I learn and teach? What preparations are necessary in order to study and pray with greater intent for the intellectual and spiritual capacity to learn and teach difficult principles? To what degree do I create assignments/curriculum that require my students to step beyond the edge of current understanding, risking failure through faith to make connections they've not thought about before? Do I walk in humility before the Lord, recognizing Him as the source of my success in all that I learn and teach?" - }, - { - "id": "176", - "title": "Learners and teachers at BYU-Idaho understand that true teaching is done by and with the Holy Ghost.", - "content": "The Role of The Holy Ghost As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we have been commanded to receive the Holy Ghost.

Give your students the opportunity for a spiritual experience in every way you can.... The scriptures say, 'The Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach' (D&C 42:14).... These are God's students, not yours.\" Applications Pray for the Spirit individually and collectively. Through prayer, we invite the Holy Ghost literally to teach us in all situations. Seek for, recognize, and act immediately upon inspiration. Keep the commandments and live in accordance with gospel principles, so the Holy Ghost will be a constant companion. Avoid contention in our homes, in social settings, and in the classroom. Seek the truth, or understanding, of academic topics with the guidance of the Holy Ghost. Prepare for class with the Spirit ('treasure up in your minds'); then in class, act under the inspiration of the Spirit to ask questions, make comments, and share insights ('it shall be given you in the very hour'D&C 84:85). Examples Listening closely to a student's response, a teacher receives a flow of intelligence regarding the discussion problem. An insight that comes to a learner as he prayerfully ponders a difficult problem leads him to frame a hypothesis and conduct confirmatory research. While summarizing her notes from a class, a student sees clearly the relationship between what was said in the class and the work she will do as an intern next semester. A student opens the course syllabus to find a variety of choices for writing projects during the term. He seeks and receives the inspiration of the Holy Ghost in choosing learning experiences most effective for him individually. Using skills of counterpoint and orchestration, a student composer works out a musical theme that came in response to prayerful meditation.

Packer, \"Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled\",Ensign1991, p. 102\"It is the tendency for many members of the Church who spend a great deal of time in academic research to begin to judge the Church-its doctrine, organization, and leadership, present and past-by the principles of their own profession.... A member of the Church ought always, particularly if he is pursuing extensive academic studies, to judge the professions of man against the revealed word of the Lord.\" Applications Begin each class with prayer. With the word of God as a lens, seek to see and understand the truth in all fields of study. Seek to master the rigors of the field of scholarship, recognizing that the word of God is the ultimate arbiter of truth and falsehood. Seek to bring the revelations of the Restoration into the classroom. Apply principles derived from the word of God to the process of learning and to the problems of academic disciplines. Explain, demonstrate, and promote the fusion of faith and reason. Testify of truth whenever appropriate. Recognize and help others to recognize Heavenly Father as the source of all truth. Examples In philosophy or sociology, the current scholarship is dogmatic that gender is purely a social construct; the only real difference between men and women is biological. There is, according to this theory, no such thing as \"maleness\" or \"femaleness.\" Teachers and learners recognize that they must do everything in their power to understand, master these concepts, and become proficient in the current scholarship. However, \"laying hold\" on the word of God would require that they measure and evaluate those concepts in light of The Family: A Proclamation to the World where it states, \"Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.\" An economics class contrasts the principles and conditions which resulted in the Zion society described in Fourth Ne phi to the principles of socialist theory and their results in modern countries. A learner in the social sciences evaluates competing theories of human behavior and motivation based on her knowledge of the true nature of man as a spirit child of God. Invitations Do I spend sufficient time studying the scriptures and the teachings of modern apostles and prophets? Do I dig deep (Luke 6:48) to establish my foundation? As both a learner and a teacher, do I base my actions on the word of God? Can my fellow learners and teachers tell me that I am rooted and settled in the gospel? Where are learners most likely to encounter conflicts between faith and reason in my field? How do I deal with that conflict? How might I assist others who are struggling? Do I apply study and reason to my pursuit of spiritual truth? Do I exercise faith and seek inspiration in my pursuit of scholarly truth? What can happen if I keep scholarly and spiritual learning separate?

Romney, \"Learning for the Eternities\", 1977, p. 72\"I believe in study. I believe that men learn much through study. As a matter of fact, it has been my observation that they learn little concerning things as they are, as they were, or as they are to come without study. I also believe, however, and know, that learning by study is greatly accelerated by faith.\" Applications Teachers organize class discussions and assignments, so students have opportunities to act rather than just be passive participants in the learning process. Teachers take responsibility for fostering learning experiences that are meaningful for students. Students prepare for class by completing assignments beforehand, seeking additional information that might pertain to class discussions, finding opportunities to teach course material to peers, and actively applying core concepts in their individual lives. Students engage in class discussions and participate actively in projects and assignments. They make comments, ask questions, answer questions, offer explanations, listen actively, and respond when called upon. Examples A teacher includes a requirement that each student teach others throughout the term. A teacher provides opportunities for students to teach and learn by using small groups for assignments inside and outside of class. Applying the principles of the Learning Model, and with a deep breath, a student volunteers her opinion during class discussion and actively listens to understand others. A student contacts a teacher for suggestions about a research project outside the parameters of the course. Invitations What are some of the actions that lead to enduring understanding of a discipline? How does a learner demonstrate responsibility for learning? Have I designed my courses so that students are given the opportunity to act rather than just be acted upon, i.e., peer-to-peer instruction opportunities, discussion-based teaching, group projects, etc.?

Oaks, \"Why Do We Serve?\" Ensign, Nov. 1984, p. 13-14\" 'Charity is the pure love of Christ' (Moroni 7:47). The Book of Mormon teaches us that this virtue is 'the greatest of all' (Moroni 7:46).... Our service should be for the love of God and the love of fellowmen rather than for personal advantage or any other lesser motive.\" Boyd K. Packer, \"That All May Be Edified\", 1982, p. 84\"In this life we are constantly confronted with a spirit of competition. Teams contest one against another in an adversary relationship in order that one will be chosen a winner. We come to believe that wherever there is a winner there must also be a loser. To believe that is to be misled. In the eyes of the Lord, everyone may be a winner. Now it is true that we must earn it; but if there is competition in His work, it's not with another soul it's with our own former selves.\" Robert D. Hales,BYU-Idaho Devotional, February 20, 2007\"Share your gifts and talents so that you can tutor, mentor, be in a study group, or participate in the classroom.... I give you a promise... you will find that both the giver and receiver will be better off for their interaction.\" Virginia H. Pearce, \"The Ordinary Classroom: A Powerful Place for Steady and Continued Growth,\"Ensign, November 1996, p. 12\"A skilled teacher doesn't think, 'What shall I do in class today?' But asks, 'What will my students do in class today?' Not, 'What will I teach today?' Rather, 'How will I help my students discover what they need to know?' The skilled teacher does not want students who leave the class talking about how magnificent and unusual the teacher is. This teacher wants students who leave talking about how magnificent the [subject] is!\" David A. Bear,BYU-Idaho Faculty Meeting, August 21, 2001\"Success will be defined by what a department or major does to strengthen other departments and majors across the campus.\" Applications Begin and end class on time. Strive for the capacity to view and treat each member of each class as a child of God. Create a learning environment where students and teachers think of others before themselves. Seek to use peer-to-peer or other methods in which students regularly teach each other, both in class and in small groups. Create experiences that allow faculty and students to be both teachers and learners. Examples The teacher invites a student who says, \"I don't understand,\" to prepare a lesson and teach the class the next day. The student comes back with a lesson prepared; but before teaching, she says she still has several questions. After teaching, she never asks questions. The teacher asks what the questions were. The student says she received answers to her questions while she taught. Teachers ask questions that invite meaningful, thoughtful study and response. Faculty pursue integrated projects that result in new materials, new modules, new courses, and new understanding that allow students and faculty to more effectively serve and teach one another. Invitations Does the edification that results from teaching come from things that are taught or from the process of teaching? What practices can I incorporate in the classroom to create a climate that allows risk-taking?

It is to help individuals take responsibility. . .\" Preach My Gospel, p. 61 Common Questions About the Learning Model Learn how to make the Learning Model a prominent part of your education. Is the Learning Model different from the disciple-leader framework? President Clark has outlined five key elements that help students atBYU-Idaho progress toward becoming disciple leaders. One of the five elements is referred to as \"Inspired Learning and Teaching.\" The Learning Model was created to reinforce efforts to create inspired learning and teaching experiences. In this way, the Learning Model supports the institutional mission of creating disciple leaders. If students teach one other, what is the role of the instructor? It is true that students are expected to teach what they are learning, but the role of the instructor remains central in the entire process. Your instructor will select specific learning activities and decide when to include each experience. The instructor also plays a role in directing and managing student discussion and participation. They will balance these collaborative efforts with their own instruction and explanation when needed. What if other students are wrong in what they teach? An active instructor is often the best guard against this risk. Instructors will often provide student evaluation criteria, guides, and examples to use in considering the comments and explanations of other students. However, part of the intent of the Learning Model is that students listen to what others are saying and help teach their peers when they think the other is off-track. This collaborative process of mutual discovery will often lead to some of the most lasting and applicable learning experiences you will have. Does using the Learning Model mean I will have to do more work? President Kim B. Clark has taught that a student should spend two hours outside of class for every hour in class. This expectation is true with or without the Learning Model. So, the question might be better phrased, 'Will the Learning Model affect when I do my work?' The answer to that question is 'Yes, you will spend more time before class in preparation.' Your total workload will not increase, but you should replace last-minute cramming with powerful pre-class preparation. What if I am a shy student? Students atBYU-Idaho \"learn by faith\" (D&C 88: 118). President Clark has taught: \"To learn by faith, students need opportunities to take action. Some of those opportunities will come. . In the classroom, where prepared students, exercising faith, step out beyond the light they already possess, to speak, to contribute, and to teach one another.\" If you are a shy student, there will be times when you have to exercise your faith to participate and comment in class. Also realize that a Learning Model environment is a safe and supportive setting, where students \"love, teach, and serve one another.\" Moreover, Teach One Another activities do not all happen in large group settings. Many of these activities will occur in small discussion groups, paired teams, and online discussion formats. Make efforts to contribute in all of these Teach One Another settings. Will my teacher explain how to use the Learning Model in class? Many instructors will explain how they are applying the Learning Model in a given course setting. This explanation may surface in classroom discussion or in the course syllabus itself. But you are responsible for your own learning, which means you have to take action to deepen your learning, regardless of the instruction you receive. Learn how to prepare before class, how to contribute by teaching others what you are learning, and how to ponder and prove your learning.\" Inspired learning and teaching is the symbolic keystone to the overall campus experience. It brings discipleship preparation and leadership development together in one great whole.\" President Kim B.

The CES Honor Code helps to accomplish the CES mission to build disciples of Jesus Christ. As faculty, administration, staff, and students voluntarily commit to conduct their lives in accordance with the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ, they strive to maintain the highest standards in their personal conduct regarding honor, integrity, morality, and consideration of others. By accepting appointment, continuing in employment, being admitted, or continuing enrollment, each member of the campus communities personally commits to observe the CES Honor Code approved by the Board of Trustees:Maintain an Ecclesiastical Endorsement, including striving to deepen faith and maintain gospel standards Be honest Live a chaste and virtuous life, including abstaining from sexual relations outside marriage between a man and a woman. Living a chaste and virtuous life also includes abstaining from same-sex romantic behavior Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, vaping, marijuana, and other substance abuse Participate regularly in Church services Respect others, including the avoidance of profane and vulgar language Obey the law and follow campus policies, including the CES Dress and Grooming standards Encourage others in their commitment to comply with the Honor Code and Dress and Grooming standards CES Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations CES Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations are part of the CES Honor Code and part of each student, employees, and volunteers commitment. When considering Honor Code and dress and grooming decisions, the teachings of the prophets and apostles, as well as Church instruction, such as For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices can be helpful. CES Dress and Grooming Principles Each student, employee, and volunteer commits to:Represent the Savior Jesus Christ, the Church, and the Church Educational System Preserve an inspiring environment, without distraction or disruption, where covenants are kept in a spirit of unity, so the Holy Ghost can teach truth Promote modesty, cleanliness, neatness, and restraint in dress and grooming Maintain an elevated standard distinctive to educational institutions of the Church of Jesus Christ Dress and grooming expectations as in the examples below should align with these principles. However, application of these principles is not limited to the expectations listed. \nMembers of the university community are expected to apply these principles to dress and grooming questions as they arise. CES Dress and Grooming Expectations Dress for men and women should:Be modest in fit and style. Dressing in a way that would cover the temple garment is a good guideline, whether one has been endowed. Accommodation may be made for athletic participation. Be neat and clean. Sloppy, overly casual, ragged, or extreme clothing is not acceptable. Grooming Hair should be clean, neat, modest, and avoid extremes in styles and colors. Mens hair should be neatly trimmed. Men should be clean-shaven. If worn, mustaches should be neatly trimmed. N O T E: B Y U Pathway Worldwide and Seminaries and Institutes of Religion match local Church dress and grooming standards as appropriate for local activities. F A Qs for Student Ecclesiastical Endorsements, the CES Honor Code, and Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations The Church Board of Education of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced updates to the Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement, the Honor Code, and Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations for the Church Educational System (CES) on August 24, 2023. These changes were made to help students draw closer to Jesus Christ and strengthen the overall student experience. These adjustments will:adopt a principle-based approach, while retaining a set of common expectations;simplify and unify dress and grooming principles and expectations across CES campuses;better align the ecclesiastical endorsement interview with the ecclesiastical responsibilities of Church leaders. The following are questions and answers about these updates. How will the changes to the Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement questions contribute to the accomplishment of the mission of CES? The Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement has historically emphasized the CES Honor Code and dress and grooming policies. This change better aligns the topics addressed by Church leaders in their interviews with their core ecclesiastical responsibilities. Thus, as an ecclesiastical interview, it will focus on a students efforts to grow spiritually and meet ecclesiastical expectations, which is an important part of accomplishing the religious mission of CES institutions. The administration of internal university policies, including the Honor Code and Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations, will now more fully reside with the CES institutions. Why do the Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement questions differ from temple recommend questions? There is a difference in the standard of worthiness to receive saving ordinances in the house of the Lord and being eligible to attend a CES institution as a student. The questions for temple recommend interviews and ecclesiastical endorsements are appropriate for their different purposes. The Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement includes some questions about striving. What is the intent of this language? CES recognizes that students are striving to deepen their faith and testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Recognizing that we sometimes fall short of perfectly realizing these aspirations, and in order to encourage continued growth, students are invited to strive toward certain ideals while upholding foundational standards of conduct. As has happened prior to these changes, this allows ecclesiastical leaders to work with students who are trying but may sometimes struggle. It does not mean Church leaders should ignore clear violations of ecclesiastical standards, but it does allow them room to counsel with and help individuals progress. What are the updates to the CES Honor Code? The CES Honor Code has been and will continue to be consistent across CES campuses. Current adjustments emphasize the role of the Honor Code in accomplishing the religious mission of CES institutions. The underlying principles and expectations have not changed. Can you explain the changes to the Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations? Previously, dress and grooming expectations varied across CES institutions. The new Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations identify an important set of foundational principles while retaining a set of common expectations to assist with the application of these principles. They also provide consistency between campuses. Does the simplification of expectations and the inclusion of principles mean that other prior standards no longer apply? In many cases, the prior expectations are still applicable. The Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations emphasize standards representative of Jesus Christ and CES and encourage modesty, cleanliness, neatness, and restraint. Students across CES campuses are expected to dress in ways that align with the dress and grooming principles. Are there specific changes in dress and grooming now? Yes. For example, students on each campus will be allowed to wear shorts, provided those shorts are in keeping with the principles and expectations given. As noted above, dress and grooming decisions should align with the Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations, and application of these principles is not limited to the expectations listed. We are striving to create a culture that is consistent with the distinct religious purpose of CES institutions. What is meant by men hair being neatly trimmed? As stated in the Dress and Grooming Expectations, hair should be neat, modest, and avoid extremes. The intent of this standard for men is that hair should be cut short and neatly trimmed. Is there a change in the expectations for L G B T Q students? There are no changes to the L G B T Q policies. CES is deeply committed to helping all our students, including our L G B T Q students, feel both the love and covenant expectations of the Savior. Same-sex romantic behavior has been and continues to be contrary to the principles included in the CES Honor Code. L G B T Q students are a welcomed and valued part of the campus community and share a common identity with every student as sons and daughters of God. All students will continue to be encouraged to live their gospel and university/college commitments. Can members of CES campus communities who identify as L G B T Q or have same-sex attraction be disciplined for behavior like going on a date, holding hands or kissing? Same-sex romantic behavior is not compatible with the principles included in the CES Honor Code. As in years past, each situation will be handled on a case-by-case basis to help each student feel the love of the Savior and to encourage them to live their gospel covenants and university/college commitments. Did students provide input on these updates? Yes. CES conducted focus groups at Brigham Young University, B Y U Idaho, and Ensign College to review, discuss, and gather input from students in the development of these changes. The input of these randomly selected students was significant in developing and refining these updates. Students were enthusiastic about these adjustments and expressed their feelings that a focus on the Savior, combined with an emphasis on principles and expectations, would elevate dress, grooming, and behavior as students become more intentional and take increased ownership for dress and grooming decisions." - }, - { - "id": "212", - "title": "Common questions about ecclesiastical endorsements and how to receive or renew an endorsement.", - "content": "Renew Your Endorsement The Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement elevates the students interview by aligning it with the ecclesiastical responsibilities of priesthood leaders and focusing on a student efforts to grow spiritually and meet ecclesiastical standards.

Are you striving to live the teachings of the Church and keep the covenants you have made to this point in your life? Are there serious sins in your life that need to be resolved with priesthood authorities as part of your repentance? Frequently Asked Questions What is the electronic continuing endorsement? The electronic continuing endorsement is an online form students must complete before meeting with their bishop for a continuing endorsement interview. Following the interview, bishops complete the endorsement process, removing the continuing endorsement hold from the students record. Why do I need a new endorsement when I just got one? The endorsement needs to be renewed during the first semester of the assigned track. The endorsement previously completed may have been an admissions application endorsement and is only valid through the first semester of the assigned track. The continuing endorsement has to be renewed before you will be able to register for future classes. I am not L D S. Do I need an endorsement? Yes. Non-L D S students must be endorsed by the bishop of the L D S ward boundary in which they currently reside. I have to work on Sunday and cannot attend church? What should I do? You will need to visit with your bishop to discuss the situation. I will be doing an internship this upcoming semester. Do I need an endorsement? Yes. A Continuing Ecclesiastical Endorsement is necessary for anyone representing the university through either coursework or other activities. I am taking less than 12 credits. Do I need an endorsement? Yes. AllBYU-Idaho students should have current endorsements. Does my campus bishop have to do my endorsement or can my home bishop do it? Students who are on campus must receive their continuing endorsement from their campus ward bishop. What if my bishop does not endorse me? You will not be able to register. However, you may appeal the bishop's decision to your stake president. If my university bishop does not endorse me, can I get my home bishop or another bishop to do it? No. I decided not to return toBYU-Idaho before I left school but have now changed my mind. What should I do? Phone: your bishop and make arrangements with him to do your endorsement as part of the reapplication process. Does my stake president have to do my endorsement? No. Not the continuing endorsement. Where can I get a copy of the endorsement form? The process is completed only online. I tried to access the electronic endorsement but was unable to, or it did not show the ward I actually attend. What should I do? Is it your time to renew your continuing endorsement? Holds go on the first semester of your assigned track for campus students, and every spring semester for online students. Try changing your browser. If still unable, please call the Student Honor Office. I received an email from the Student Honor Office and also from the Student Records & Registrations Office that I have a hold on my account. What does this mean? It is time to renew your continuing ecclesiastical endorsement for your next semester. This hold only prevents you from registering for future classes. I tried to register and was told that there was a hold on my record. What should I do? You need to determine what kind of hold is placed on your record. Is it a financial, academic, Honor Code, or continuing endorsement hold? You will need to contact the office that placed the hold and clear it up before you can register. I have submitted my part of the endorsement online, but my bishop does not see my name in his ward queue. Why? He most likely is going to the wrong website. He will need to access at the following:web.byui.edu/endorseleader My ward does not show up when I select the ward to submit my endorsement to. What should I do? Go to the search button. By entering the least information will help you select the correct ward. [For Example, if you are attending the Rexburg Y S A 120th, you would enter Rexburg Y S A. On the right side of the screen will come up all the Rexburg Y S A wards, select the 120th ward and verify the name of the bishop is correct.] If you are from a ward that only has one name worldwide, you will still need to click on it even if there is only one. That way it will send it to that ward queue. You M U S T click on the ward first, then click on next and proceed. I am an online student. Do I need an endorsement? Yes, online students are required to receive an annual ecclesiastical endorsement. As of Spring Semester 2018, allBYU-Idaho online students are required to renew their ecclesiastical endorsement each year during Spring Semester. You will receive an email reminder to have your endorsement renewed. You will also see an endorsement hold placed on your account that must be resolved before registering for classes." - }, - { - "id": "213", - "title": "Academic Honesty means students do their own work.

Violation Reports and Privacy Anyone may report an Honor Code violation to the Student Honor Office (SHO), whether the conduct occurred on or off campus. The SHO does not generally investigate anonymous reports. While the SHO and the university strive to maintain confidentiality, they cannot always guarantee it. Subject to the restrictions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and other applicable laws, the university may disclose names and other information (i) when legally compelled to disclose (all subpoenas, warrants, and court orders are referred to the university Office of the General Counsel), (ii) when the university deems disclosure necessary to provide a student with notice of the nature of the violations alleged them, (iii) when the university deems disclosure necessary for health or safety reasons, or (iv) when otherwise determined to be in the best interest of the university. Information provided to or collected by the SHO with respect to an Honor Code violation and placed in the student's SHO file is considered part of the student's educational record. The Investigation The Student Honor Office will investigate reported Honor Code violation(s). Once a report is received, the SHO will conduct an investigation by gathering information from the reported student and others the SHO deems appropriate. The student is encouraged to meet with an administrator from the SHO to respond to the reported Honor Code violation(s) and to provide any facts or information. When there are significant discrepancies or contradictions between the reported information and the student's response, the SHO will attempt to reconcile the discrepancies which may require further investigation. Once the investigation has been completed, the SHO will use the standard \u201cmore likely than not\u201d to determine if a violation has occurred. If it is found that a violation has occurred, the SHO will determine appropriate action. Should the reported student not respond to requests, or refuse to meet with the SHO, action may be taken based on the information available. Civil, Criminal, or Ecclesiastical Proceedings In situations where a student has been arrested and/or charged with criminal misconduct, the university may take immediate action, including, but not limited to: placing a hold on registration or graduation, probation, suspension, expulsion, or may elect not to take any action. The university may discontinue or amend any action at any time or upon receipt of new information. Further, the university may take immediate action even if the reported student refuses to participate in the investigation or chooses not to disclose relevant information to the SHO. Student Honor Office proceedings may be carried out prior to, simultaneously with, or following civil, criminal, or ecclesiastical proceedings at the discretion of the SHO. Disciplinary sanctions shall not be subject to change because civil, criminal, or ecclesiastical actions were dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of or against the student. Interim Action The university may take action on an interim basis pending completion of its investigation when in its discretion such action is reasonably justified. The university may be reasonably justified in suspending the student on an interim basis to protect the safety and well\u2010being of the campus community, or where the student's behavior presents a threat of disruption or interference with normal campus operations. During such interim action, the student may be denied university privileges for which the student would otherwise be eligible, including but not limited to restricting access to: classes, campus employment, student-approved housing, campus facilities, or other university activities, programs, or performances. The university may discontinue or amend such interim action at any time during the university's investigation. If the student disagrees with the interim action, they may request a review by the Dean of Students. Voluntary Withdrawal At any time prior to the Student Honor Office's decision and action, a student may voluntarily withdraw from the university. Once a student voluntarily withdraws from the university, he or she no longer enjoys student status nor any of the benefits, rights, and privileges associated with student status. If a student voluntarily withdraws from the university, the university may nevertheless determine at its discretion to proceed with an investigation of the allegations. The university may put a hold on the student's registration, re\u2010admission, and/or graduation pending an investigation and/or resolution of the allegations. The Decision and Actions At the conclusion of the investigation, the Student Honor Office will review the information and determine an appropriate decision and action. The action will be selected from the following: No Action, Counsel and Education, Warning, Steady Upward Course, Probation, Suspension Withheld, Suspension, and Expulsion. The SHO will then notify the student of the decision, action taken, and any related conditions for reinstatement to good Honor Code standing. Should the decision be a suspension or expulsion, the student will have an opportunity to request a Student Honor Review. The student may request the review within five business days upon receipt of the Notice of Separation (see Student Honor Review Procedures). A student must be in good Honor Code standing to graduate and receive a diploma. Students are required to satisfactorily complete any specified conditions in order to return to good Honor Code standing. Dean's Certification The university does not consider the decisions of No Action, Counsel, and Education, Warning, or Steady Upward Course, to be reportable disciplinary actions when responding to a request for a Dean's Certification from another institution or third party. The actions of Probation, Suspension Withheld, Suspension, and Expulsion are reportable disciplinary actions. Record Records will be retained for all decisions and actions. The student will be permitted upon written request to review their Student Honor Office file. Information provided to or collected by the SHO and placed in the student's SHO file is considered part of the student's educational record. Consistent with FERPA and BYU-Idaho's Access to Student Records Policy and Procedures, students shall be granted the opportunity, upon written request, to access their own educational records. The information in the records, but not necessarily names, can be accessed within 45 days of a student's written request. Requests should be made through the director of the Student Honor Office. Any student may place a statement of their own regarding the SHO decision and action in their file." - }, - { - "id": "216", - "title": "The only approved housing complex owned and operated by BYU-Idaho!", - "content": "Schedule a Tour Interested in living at Centre Square?

Equal Access is the goal - no one is entitled to anything but rather students must advocate for themselves in order to enjoy these rights.Section 504, Section 504 in the public schools includes \"Free and Appropriate Public Education\" language and accommodations may include a shortening of assignments, use of notes on test, etc., when other students cannot have the same accommodation. Section 504 is the first civil rights legislation that applies to colleges. It upholds the institution's right to maintain academic standards. No accommodations may be permitted to reduce that standard for any students. There is no \"free\" education, and shortening of assignments, use of notes, etc. are not considered \"reasonable\" accommodations in college. Plans Plans, either the I E P or a 504 plan, drove all services and accommodations and involved the teachers, counselors, and required a parent's signature. There is no plan and instructors are not contacted except by the student. In fact, parents may not receive even the student's grades, without the student giving written permission. Placement\"Placement\" is determined by the child's \"team\" and outlined in the plan, and must, by law, be in the least restrictive environment. Placement integration is assumed and implemented. We adjust the environment through accommodations, but we don't deliberate and select the environment for the student in advance. Qualification Students were qualified for public education simply by being the appropriate age, because they had a disability.\" Otherwise qualified,\" in college, means that the student must meet all entrance and academic requirements, whether they receive accommodations or not. Accommodations Everybody knew about a student's placement, and practically everybody signed the plan. A teacher would know about a student even before he/she would enter the classroom, and have a good idea of what the needs were of that student. The student must initiate all actions regarding accommodations with each professor, for each course, every semester. In addition, students have the civil right to refuse accommodations they don't want or need; and if they do not register with the Disability Services Office and request accommodations, it is assumed they do not want it. Assessment Public schools, for the most part, are responsible for appropriate assessment of a student's disability. Higher education does not have to assess the student but can expect that the student will provide proof of their disability within accepted guidelines. Graduation Requirements Some subjects may have been waived for a student before graduation, if they were specifically related to the student's disability. Substitutions for specific graduation requirements may be requested by following a rigorous petition process, but \"waivers\" for requirements are rarely, if ever, granted. Substitutions may be granted after the student has both provided adequate verification to the Disability Services Office of their disability and unsuccessfully attempted the courses in question with the appropriate accommodations recommended by our office. Personal Care Assessment, physical or therapy, or personal care may have been provided by the school during regular school hours. Student is responsible for personal services-personal care, medical and related requirements, just as if they would is they were living independently and not attending school. Timed Tests Students often receive \"Untimed tests\" if they have a disability.\" Un-timed tests\" are not reasonable. Time extensions may be considered reasonable, typically time and a half, on rare occasions double time may be granted. Understanding Disabilities Teachers may be expected to learn all they can about the disability of a student in one of their classes.

The Autism Mentoring Program (A M P) was created in 2011 for the purpose of helping on-campus students on the Autism Spectrum navigate the natural rigors of higher education. We believe that a little bit of guidance and support can make a significant impact on your college experience. A M P is designed to provide participants with two trained peer mentors to help with social difficulties, daily living skills, and/or academic concerns, at no cost. Participants meet with their mentors once a week for one hour at a location and time of their choosing. The length and frequency of these meetings can be adjusted based on individual needs. In these meetings, mentors will help participants set and reach personal goals. Mentors understand the demands of college and are there to act as a support system as participants create a game plan for success and access local and campus resources. There are a few things that our program does not provide. We do not replace other campus resources such as Academic Advising, Financial Aid, Disability Services, and the Counseling Center. However, our mentors are trained to help direct you to the resources you need. It is also important to understand that our mentors are not meant to act as therapists, replacement parents, or assigned friends. However, they do act as guides, partners, and coaches. We have wonderful mentors who are kind, empathetic, and eager to help their fellow students. Our program proudly supports self-advocacy. We understand that many parents initiate the search for resources and programs like ours, but we strongly encourage students to take the steps to join. When a student reaches out to us, their experience in our program becomes self-directed. Students who feel in control of their college experience oftentimes show a greater eagerness and dedication to mentoring. This in turn leads to a better experience and greater success. We look forward to communicating directly with students about their personal interest in our program. A M P is currently quite a small program with great plans for improvement and expansion. As we improve our program, we hope you will join with us in this process. Still have questions? Email us atamp@byui.edu Should I Join? Are you stressed about time management? Do you feel like your life is unorganized? Is your school schedule/workload overwhelming at times? Do you want to learn more about the local/campus resources available to you? Are you having a hard time making new friends or getting along with your roommates? Is it your first time living alone, and you are struggling with cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc.? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you could benefit from having peer mentors. Our mentors are compassionate volunteers, who, like you, are currentBYU-Idaho students. They understand the rigors of college life and are ready and willing to help you. If you think this program could help you, call and set up an appointment today. Our current and past participants agree that this program is a great resource for students with Autism. Participant Testimonials Here are some things participants have said about their mentors:They created a positive atmosphere They were willing to share their time so that we could sit and talk They helped me with questions, lent me a hand, and guided me They were patient They directed me towards useful resources They took me on outings and helped me open up They helped me finish my F A F S A helped me with planning and organization They took the time to really figure out what I was struggling with, and then they helped me fix those problems I felt close to them Frequently Asked Questions Is there any cost associated with this program? No, this is a free resource to all students with Autism. How do you gather mentors? Our mentors are volunteers who choose to join our program. We screen all our mentors to ensure they can meet the basic program requirements. We use several methods of recruitment such as sending invites to entire departments, presenting to classes, and by communicating with individuals who show mentoring potential. How quickly will I be paired with mentors? Once you have met with the A M P Coordinator, she will pair you with mentors as soon as they become available, which is usually within the same day. You will receive the names and contact information of your mentors via email, and they should reach out to you within the week. When is the best time to join the program? You can meet with the A M P Coordinator either at the end of a semester in preparation for the following semester, or you can meet at the beginning of a semester. We accept new participants through week 7 of each semester. The sooner you set up an appointment to meet with the program Coordinator, the quicker you will be paired with mentors. Remember that in the first couple weeks of the semester you make big decisions regarding your entire semester. Having a mentor through that process could be extremely beneficial. Can I leave the program if I decide it is not right for me? You may choose to drop from the program at any time, although we strongly encourage participants to meet with the A M P Coordinator to discuss the situation and determine the best plan of action. What if I don't feel like I am connecting well with my mentors? You can meet with the A M P Coordinator to talk more about this situation. If needed, you can be paired with different mentors. Remember, it takes time to build these types of relationships. Usually, if you give it time, you will connect well with your mentors." - }, - { - "id": "252", - "title": "Discover professional resources available for individual, couple, or group counseling at the BYU-Idaho Counseling Center.", - "content": "Emergency Phone: : National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline available 24/7 Caller Text988 Eligible Students Welcome at theBYU-Idaho Counseling Center Mental health challenges can impact anyone, regardless of education, geography, faith, or family circumstances.

Here are some tips to make your cultural transition better.", - "content": "Academic Environment You may find that there are significant differences in the U.S. classroom as compared to your experiences at home. If there is something that you do not understand in the classroom, make sure to speak up. Raise your hand to ask a question or talk to your professor before or after class. Professors will often have office hours when you can set up an appointment to meet with them to ask more questions about class, assignments, or tests. Choose your classes carefully and pace yourself. Taking too many courses or too many challenging courses at once can be discouraging and can negatively affect your grades. If you have questions about what classes to take, you can reach out to Academic Advising. Cultural Transition As you come to America you may experience some culture shock. Culture shock is a feeling of anxiety or disorientation when you are in an unfamiliar culture or area. It is a natural reaction when adjusting to a new environment. It happens differently for everyone. In fact, there are some Americans from different parts of the U.S. that may go through a similar experience. As you are transitioning you may go through some of the following: extreme homesickness, trouble sleeping, depression, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, or a desire to avoid social settings. Here are some tips that could potentially help you transition to life in the U.S.:Listen and observe others and try to learn from them. Ask questions. You may not know what is going on all the time - It's fine to ask questions and other students can be very helpful. Try to empathize with others. Be curious. Try new things! Keep an open mind.Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself. Try to accept frustration. Adjusting to a new culture isn't always easy, and it is natural to feel frustrated and anxious. These are a normal part of the experience. Get involved! The more you put into experiences, the more you will get out of them. Make an effort to meet people, participate in activities, and form friendships. If you find that you are really struggling, please reach out to International Services and set up an appointment with an advisor. U.S. Culture Though there are Americans who come from diverse backgrounds there are some generalizations of the American culture. Understanding the American culture can be helpful as you live in the U.S. Keep in mind that these generalizations may not always fit the people you encounter or all circumstances. Equality Americans believe all men are created equal as stated in the Declaration of Independence. This encompasses all men and women, no matter your race, gender, or national origin. Equality can also relate to status and age. People are often treated on a first-come, first-serve basis no matter social status, seniority, or how important the need is. Students are treated the same by professors and other staff members atBYU-Idaho. Do not expect special treatment. Making Conversation When talking to other students, you might find that Americans ask a lot of questions. They are sincerely curious about you and may have little understanding of your life. Be honest with others and try to get to know them as well. This shows that you care and are genuinely interested. Non-Verbal Communication Even when people aren't talking, they can communicate with you. However, many misunderstandings can happen from body language or non-verbal communication. Here are some things to be aware of:Eye contact can be consistent, or they may look away and then back at you. Which is normal. Touching other people can make them uncomfortable or nervous. Spacing can be very important. Americans believe in personal space and can be uncomfortable when standing too close. Generally, an arms-length away is a good place to start. Individuality Americans are devoted to their individualism. Americans believe in being your own person and sticking up for your rights. Independence and self-reliance are emphasized in the U.S. Americans do not often see themselves as representing their families or communities which can be perceived by other cultures as selfish. Individualism is found in the classroom as well. Teachers expect students to work on their own unless otherwise specified and produce original work. Time and Punctuality Time is very important in America. Americans view time as a limited resource. Americans will be early or on time for gatherings and expect others to be on time as well. They will often keep a schedule of activities. Plan to arrive early or exactly on time for appointments or meetings. Showing up late can be viewed as being disrespectful, rude, and offensive. Make a point to be punctual. Directness Americans can be very direct with others, which may seem rude in other cultures. They often do not hide their feelings and are very expressive. Being direct and honest is often seen as more important than preserving relationships. Different Customs There is no taboo associated with the left hand in America. They do not have a negative association with the bottom of shoes or soles of the feet. People point with their index finger. Respect for someone is shown by making eye contact. Relaxed postures, whether sitting or standing, are very common; this does not mean that they aren't listening. Unless there is a specific reason to close them, doors will usually be open." - }, - { - "id": "259", - "title": "Learn more about financial obligations, insurance, taxes, ITINs, and Social Security Numbers for international students at BYU-Idaho.", - "content": "Student Requirements Prospective F-1 international students must have the financial resources to live and study in the U.S. This includes being able to cover the cost of tuition, books, living expenses, and travel.

If you receive a grant fromBYU-Idaho, have health insurance, or have employment in the U.S., you are required to file and pay taxes as an international student studying in the U.S. It is your responsibility to complete and file your taxes. The Internal Revenue Service (I R S) collects taxes from individuals who earn an income in the United States. Taxes pay for government services such as military, health care, schools, and roads. Any income earned in the United States must be reported to the government. This includes:Income from wages;Receipt of a grant, fellowship, or scholarship;Interest from stock options; and Other types of non-wage income. This includes the Healthcare Act. By law, everyone in the U.S. is required to pay taxes on their Healthcare Benefits. If you attendBYU-Idaho on campus you will be required to obtain health insurance. Allow enough time for the preparation and filing of your taxes. If you live in the U.S. as a student, even for one semester, and then leave the country, you will be contacted by the U.S. Government to file and pay taxes. International Services invites the Idaho State Tax Commission to hold a free tax seminar on campus, in February. If you are an international student atBYU-Idaho, you should attend this seminar. International Services cannot answer any specific tax-related questions, so please take full advantage of this great opportunity. Do N O T file your taxes with Turbo Tax. Turbo Tax does not file correctly for international students, as it will file you as a U.S. resident. You are not a U.S. resident, and should not file through Turbo Tax. If you preferred to file your taxes online, we recommend using Sprint ax. Employment Tax The employment tax deductions from your paycheck go directly to the U.S. Government. You should sign up for auto-withdrawal from your paycheck for these tax deductions. If you sign up to withhold too much money in your tax deductions from your paycheck, the U.S. government will reimburse you after the tax deadline in April. If you do not withhold enough money in your tax deductions from your paycheck, you will be required to pay the U.S. Government. The government will give you a deadline for when you have to have your taxes paid. Ask your employer about tax withholdings when filling out your hiring paperwork. If you have not worked in the U.S., you will not have a Social Security Number. You will need to file taxes and apply for an I T I N.

Social Security Numbers A Social Security Number (S N) is an assigned 9-digit number used to identify and accurately record your wages to the U.S. government. Social Security Numbers are assigned to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and eligible nonimmigrant workers in the U.S. International students who have been given employment in the U.S. are required to obtain a Social Security Number. As a reminder, you are only permitted to work on campus unless you have permission from International Services in the form of a new C P T I-20 to work off-campus. Students that have not received employment in the U.S. are not eligible for a Social Security Number. Even if you have a Social Security Number it is not an authorization to work off-campus. When a student is given employment, the following documents are needed to apply for a Social Security Number. For more information see the Social Security Administration's Social Security Number and Card webpage. Form S S-5 Passport Visa I-20 I-94 Proof of work authorization If a student is hired for an on-campus position, they will need a signed letter from Human Resources with a D S O signature giving work authorization.

However, the D M V requires you to fill out a Certification of No Social Security Number form. Working atBYU-Idaho The purpose of attendingBYU-Idaho as an international student is to study, not work. International students are not allowed to work off-campus unless they have been authorized for C P T (internships) or O P T (post-graduation work experience) by International Services. Working off-campus without authorization is a violation of your nonimmigrant status and will lead to the termination of your I-20. The university has an estimated 18,000 students on campus during Fall, Winter, and Spring Semester. Jobs on campus are difficult to obtain due to the number of students along with limited employment options on campus. Jobs are not reserved specifically for international students. It may take some time to secure employment on campus. Your sponsor will need to provide financial support while you attendBYU-Idaho. Working part-time can help with some small expenses, but it will not be enough to fully support all of your financial commitments. Jobs on campus pay on average $9.00 per hour. During your on-track semester, you can only work up to 20 hours each week. Most jobs allow for 12 15 hours a week. Working over 20 hours each week is a direct violation of your status and may lead to the termination of your I-20. During your flex track, you can work up to 40 hours per week. Working up to 40 hours a week during your flex semester or summer may be contingent upon your employers budget. You may need to obtain more than one job on campus if you wish to work up to 40 hours per week during your flex track. Employment atBYU-Idaho is not to exceed more than 1,300 hours annually. See the Student Employees page for more information about student employment. Phone Scams People have lost a lot of money or even their personal identity to phone scams. Scammers have figured out many ways to cheat you out of your money and identity over the phone. In some scams, they act friendly and helpful. In others, the scammer could threaten you or try to scare you. One tactic that scammers try is to imitate a government phone call, saying that there is an issue with the I R S or Social Security, and they need your personal information or social security number over the phone. The U.S. government will never communicate with you by calling you. Hang up the phone immediately. Phone scammers will try to get your money or your personal information to commit identity theft. Never give out personal information over the phone. For more information about phone scams, visit the F T C Consumer Information site. If you have questions about whether you are being scammed, please contact our office." - }, - { - "id": "260", - "title": "Learn more about financial obligations, obtaining a sponsor, and personal living expenses while attending BYU-Idaho as an international student.", - "content": "You will be required to submit financial documents that demonstrate your ability, or the ability of your sponsor, to pay for your education, living, and travel expenses.BYU-Idaho requires you to have a plan in place demonstrating your understanding of the costs involved to live in the U.S. while attending school, and that you will maintain a current and ongoing financial source to cover the expenses. As an international student, you are not eligible to receive Federal Government funding from the United States, Well Grants, government-subsidized housing, W I C (Women, Infants, & Children's Grants) for supplemental food, healthcare, or food stamps. The government requires that prospective F-1 students must provide proof that they have the financial resources in place to live and study in the U.S. Falsifying financial information is considered fraud. Additionally, you must bring evidence of your financial resources when applying for your student visa. It is also advised to have the evidence on-hand when entering the country at a U.S. port of entry, in the event a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer asks to review it. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints andBYU-Idaho are not able to fund your educational costs, government fees, or living expenses. If you do not have the financial resources for your immediate education we encourage you to continue saving, secure a sponsor, continue to prepare financially, and postpone your arrival toBYU-Idaho until you can be financially self-sustaining. We hope you can pursue your studies atBYU-Idaho. Please be advised there are other potential academic options available to you, if you feel attendingBYU-Idaho on campus is not financially feasible. You may be able to seek online certificates and degrees with the Pathway Program. Self-Sponsoring You may choose to provide your own financial resources to prove you have sufficient funding to study in the U.S. If this is the case, you will be required to reflect the following in your financial evidence:Show the full amount of required funds in your personal bank account for the total years you will be attending school or a financial plan with liquid available funds. Example: If you are attending 4 years atBYU-Idaho, you will need to reflect $68,000 in your personal bank account. $17,000 x 4 years = $68,000. Example: Show funds of $17,000 for the first year in your personal bank account and submit additional proof of funds for the remainder of each year you will be studying. This could include:Scholarships outsideBYU-Idaho and/or loans. You own a property in your own country and rent it. Planning to work while attending school will not be acceptable proof of funds. Dependents: The amounts required did not include the additional cost of dependents. If you have a dependent (a spouse or child) that was not born in the U.S. and they will be coming to the U.S. with you, you will need to reflect an additional $4,500 in your bank account, per dependent, for each year of school you will attend. Example:Spouse $4,500 Child $4,500 Total $9,000 per year for every year you attend school. Evidence of personal financial support could include, but is not limited to:Personal bank statements. Financial aid/grant/scholarship/loan letters outsideBYU-Idaho and the U.S. government. Financial documents provided to International Services must be dated within 3 months of the I-20 application deadline. Financial documents dated before that will not be accepted. Collection of proper financial information is required before your Form I-20 can be created. A Form I-20 is required to complete the necessary steps to study in the United States. These steps include:Paying your I-901 S E V I S Fee. Applying for your Nonimmigrant Visa with the U.S. Department of State. Receiving F status at the U.S. Port of Entry. If you are unable to provide proof of financial resources required to attendBYU-Idaho on your own, you will be required to secure a sponsor who will agree to provide financial support throughout your studies. Obtaining a Sponsor You will be required to secure a sponsor if you are not able to provide proof of personal financial support to attendBYU-Idaho. Sponsors can be a family member, friend, etc.BYU-Idaho does not have a list of potential sponsors. You are responsible to seek and secure your own sponsor. As an international student, you will need to rely on your sponsors funding. Ensure that your sponsor understands their financial obligations before signing and providing documentation to International Services. When a sponsor signs our documentation they agree that they are willing and able to cover your expenses while living in the U.S. and attendingBYU-Idaho. Your sponsor will be committing $17,000 (L D S) or $21,300 (Non-L D S) for each year of school you will be attending. If you have a dependent (a spouse or child) who will be coming to the U.S. with you, it is an additional $4,500 per dependent, per year. Maintaining sponsorship while in the U.S. is required. It is important for you to maintain your relationship with your sponsor throughout your years of education. If you lose the support of your sponsor:You will need to obtain another sponsor. You should utilize other sources of funding you may have. You may need to return home to your country to work and save money to reapply and return toBYU-Idaho or complete your degree online. Paying Tuition and fees must be paid in full each semester. Failure to pay in full will result in a registration hold being placed on your student account. This hold will prevent you from registering for classes. Not enrolling in classes during a semester that you are required to be enrolled will result in the termination of your I-20. You are responsible to know about the cost of attendance, tuition, and fees of attendingBYU-Idaho before traveling and committing to attendBYU-Idaho. Failure to pay tuition and fees in full each semester will result in being reported to collections and eventually to U.S. credit bureaus. To learn about tuition and fees view Cost of Attendance. To learn about how to pay tuition and other fees view Payment Plans. To learn about financial deadlines view Dates and Deadlines. Personal Living Expenses You are responsible for funding your personal living expenses along with your education. Upon arriving in Rexburg, Idaho, you should be financially prepared to immediately pay rent and cover personal needs, tuition, and books. You will also need to secure transportation to Rexburg after arriving in the U.S. There are shuttles that can transport you from Salt Lake City and Idaho Falls to Rexburg, Idaho. You can search for shuttles online to find pricing and make reservations. Do not travel without appropriate funds, or with expectations that you will obtain funds after arriving in the U.S. If you are attendingBYU-Idaho in the Fall or Winter Semesters you should plan to bring or prepare to purchase a coat, boots, hat, gloves, and a scarf. This will increase your expenses and these items are needed for several cold winter months. When estimating your cost of living and expenses, please keep in mind the exchange rates.

If you are unable to keep a minimum of 2.0 G P A may prevent you from having applications approved, and you could fall out of status. Declaring a Major See the Majors, Minors, and Clusters page for information about declaring a major. I-Plan Implants a great tool to plan for your education and future. I-Plan can help with academic preparation and career exploration. I-Plan is where you will apply for internships. I-Plan also had a grad planner that can help you plan classes for the future and stay on track for graduation. Graduation See the Graduation page for information about graduation. Transferring Schools If you would like to transfer schools, International Services can transfer your S E V I S record to your new school, where they will issue you a new I-20. When we transfer your S E V I S record, you will not need to pay the I-901 S E V I S Fee again, and your new school will hold your record. Before we can transfer your record, you will need to be admitted to a new school. Once that is done, you will need to fill out the Transfer Out Request e-form on Synopsis. As soon as the transfer is complete, any work authorizations that you may have will be completed the date your record is transferred regardless of the expiration date. This would include C P T and O P T authorizations." - }, - { - "id": "268", - "title": "Employment information for international students attending the BYU-Idaho campus.", - "content": "Employment Limitations The U.S. government takes working illegally very seriously. There are limited work opportunities available in the U.S. for international students. Because of this, international students are required to prove the financial ability to pay tuition and living expenses while studying. If you do seek employment, the following limitations apply to international students:You are not permitted to work off-campus without permission from International Services in the form of a new I-20. Any off-campus job must be related to your major. Working off-campus without proper authorization is in direct violation of your status and may lead to the termination of your I-20. You can work on campus in any field. You can only work up to 20 hours per week while school is in session (you may work full-time during school breaks and your flex track if you are taking less than 12 credits). Employment on Campus International students can apply for any campus job, and it does not have to apply to their major. You can apply for jobs by looking through job postings on the Job Board. If you are an incoming student, you can begin working on campus up to 30 days before your first semester starts. Internships: Curricular Practical Training (C P T)See the Internships page for information related to internships. O P T S T E M Extension F-1 international students have the opportunity to participate in Optional Practical Training after they graduate. This authorizes students to work in the U.S. for one year after graduation in a job related to their major. Students who graduated with an S T E M degree are eligible to apply for an additional two years of O P T. While a Designated School Official (D S O) recommends the extension in S E V I S, it is the student who must apply for the extension with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (U S C I S). If the application is approved, U S C I S will issue a new Employment Authorization Document (E A D) for the S T E M extension. Students may submit their application to U S C I S 90 days before their current O P T is set to expire but are unable to submit an application past their E A D end date. A student has 60 days from the time that the S T E M O P T Extension I-20 is created to submit the application to U S C I S. See the O P T S T E M Extension page for more information." - }, - { - "id": "269", - "title": "Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is an opportunity for students to receive off-campus work authorization in an employment experience directly related to their majors.", - "content": "How Does C P T Work? Students wanting to participate in C P T must be enrolled in a class that specifically requires them to work. Most often, this is an internship credit. However, on a very rare basis, C P T can also be given to a student for a non-internship credit that requires them to work. For example, some majors require practicums in which a student works for a company. The internship or non-internship class must be taken each semester they wish to participate in C P T. If students want to apply for Optional Practical Training (post-graduation work authorization) they need to make sure they do not accrue more than 364 days of full-time (anything more than 20 hours a week) C P T. When C P T has been authorized for your job, you will be given a new I-20. You cannot begin working without this I-20 in hand. The I-20 has details about your job including your employer, start and end dates, and the number of hours that you are permitted to work. If you work outside the authorization listed on your I-20 including the dates, hours, or employer, it is considered illegal. The C P T regulation specifically states that a student may begin curricular practical training only after receiving his or her Form I-20 with the D S O endorsement. You cannot work before receiving your C P T I-20. If you work before receiving a C P T I-20, it is considered a violation of your status. The C P T I-20 has specific dates of employment listed on page 2. If you start working before the start date or continue working after the end date has passed, it is considered a violation of your status. The C P T I-20 states if the employment is part-time or full-time on page 2. If you are authorized for part-time employment you are required to work 20 hours each week or less. Working more than 20 hours is considered a violation of your status. If you are authorized for full-time employment you are required to work more than 20 hours each week. The C P T I-20 states the specific employer that you are authorized to work for. It does not authorize you to work anywhere else. If you work for a different employer, it is considered a violation of your status. If you continue to work for the same company, but your job title/description changes, you must receive new work authorization. If you do not, it is considered a violation of your status. Eligibility Criteria To be eligible to apply for C P T:You must be fully enrolled on-campus atBYU-Idaho on the same S E V I S I D/I-20 for two full semesters. Transfer students may occasionally be eligible to start an internship or non-internship C P T sooner if:You remain on the same S E V I S I D from their previous school, Your previous school is not a language school, You did not participate in O P T before transferring toBYU-Idaho, You were fully enrolled for two full semesters at their previous school, and There are no large gaps in enrollment on your transcripts. You must receive academic credit that specifically requires you to work. Your employment must be directly related to your major (not minor). Your employment must provide practical training. In other words, it must be some type of mentorship or program that will help you in your future career field. Internship Application You can apply for an internship through I-Plan. Before you can apply for the internship you must have a job offer. Make sure that the job relates to your major and will give you practical training in that field. If your internship request is approved, you will be given a new I-20 that authorizes you to work for that job. Non-Internship C P T If you wish to apply for a job and use a different class to receive academic credit, such as a senior project or a practicum, you will first need to meet with a D S O in International Services to discuss your options. The D S O will be able to explain the application process and answer any questions you may have." - }, - { - "id": "270", - "title": "Information about Optional Practical Training (OPT), an employment option for international students after they have graduated from BYU-Idaho.", - "content": "Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows F-1 international students to work in the U.S. for one year after graduation in a job related to their major.

Students can travel during OPT with proper documentation. If a student fails a course and cannot graduate, they can withdraw their OPT application if it hasn't been approved or work part-time while completing their studies if it has been approved.

The Ever bridge mass notification system contacts students and employees through email, phone messaging, and texting.2. Emergency messages can be sent to enunciates on campus \"blue phones.\"3. Emergency messages can also be sent to the projectors in every classroom campus-wide or in specific buildings.4. A software package that distributes an emergency message to every phone on campus. These systems are being networked so that the same message can be broadcast simultaneously on all four systems. Emergency notification procedures will be tested on an annual basis and the results documented including date, time, evaluation of the process, and whether it was announced or unannounced. Notification Procedures The following procedures are taken to notify the campus community of emergencies that may impact the campus community or place students, employees, or visitors in imminent danger. Determining Threat Level The Emergency Notification Committee reviews reports of violent crime or natural disasters received from Security & Safety, local police, or government officials. The committee meets to determine the threat level and then selects a prepared statement or prepares a specific statement to use in unique circumstances in order to disseminate an appropriate emergency notification to the campus community. The threat level determines which of two types of notifications will be used to alert the community. Possible Safety Impact On Campus If the committee finds reason to believe that an incident may impact safety on campus, a \"Timely Notice\" will be disseminated to the community within 24 hours, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency. The notice will include suggestions on how to avoid harm or protect against the described threat or danger. Imminent Danger In Campus Community If the Emergency Notification Committee finds reason to believe that the campus community is in imminent danger, a \"Mass Notification\" will be disseminated by Security & Safety using the campus emergency notification system. The message will consist of instructions to evacuate, shelter in place, lock-down or take other actions specific to the emergency. Emergency On Campus In the event of an emergency on campus, the community at large will be notified by University Communications who will contact local media outlets, University-owned radio K B Y R 91.5 F M, and post current warnings or updates on the campus website. Emergency Notification Committee The University maintains an Emergency Notification Committee with members consisting of the University President, University Resources Vice President, Advancement Vice President, and the Director of Security & Safety or an appropriate replacement in their absence." - }, - { - "id": "300", - "title": "Follow these tips to keep you safe while browsing the internet and social media.", - "content": "Personal Information is Personal Never post your phone number, address, or other personal information anywhere online. Make It Appropriate Post only appropriate pictures that reflect modest dress and behavior. Know who's looking. Potential employers and other influential people could be looking at your profile. Don't give them any reason to suspect you of being the type of person you are not. Use Privacy Settings Instead of leaving your profile open for everyone to view, your privacy settings restrict potential predators. Most sites have settings that allow more than the default privacy settings. Don't Just Click It Phony advertisements and sites are designed to get your information. Do not click on links or visit sites that might be designed for this purpose. Don't Invite Junk Mail Be careful when filling out forms that ask for your e-mail. Many sites will send you junk mail that is hard to get rid of. Buying and Selling When selling or purchasing items on the school Bulletin Board only deal locally. Suspicious emails from other countries should be considered fraudulent. Wireless Passwords If you use a wireless router be sure to secure it with a password. Open wireless networks mean that you are responsible for others who are downloading or surfing via your connection. Password 101 Select a strong password to keep your accounts protected. A combination of numbers and letters to a non-word works the best. Also, it is suggested you have several passwords and don't use the same password for all of your accounts. Don't Get Addicted The internet can be addictive. If you find that you are staying up late, or spending too much time on your computer, take a break and do something else. The F T C Suggests These Tips for Socializing Safely Online From The Federal Trade Commission Think about how different sites work before deciding to join a site. Some sites will allow only a defined community of users to access posted content; others allow anyone and everyone to view postings. Think about keeping some control over the information you post. Consider restricting access to your page to a select group of people, for example, your friends from school, your club, your team, your community groups, or your family. Keep your information to yourself. Don't post your full name, Social Security number, address, phone number, or bank and credit card account numbers - and don't post other people's information, either. Be cautious about posting information that could be used to identify you or locate you offline. This could include the name of your school, sports team, clubs, and where you work or hang out. Make sure your screen name doesn't say too much about you. Don't use your name, your age, or your hometown. Even if you think your screen name makes you anonymous, it doesn't take a genius to combine clues to figure out who you are and where you can be found. Post only information that you are comfortable with others seeing - and knowing - about you. Many people can see your page, including your parents, your teachers, the police, the college you might want to apply to next year, or the job you might want to apply for in five years. Remember that once you post information online, you can't take it back. Even if you delete the information from a site, older versions exist on other people's computers. Consider not posting your photo. It can be altered and broadcast in ways you may not be happy about. If you do post one, ask yourself whether it's one your mom would display in the living room. Flirting with strangers online could have serious consequences. Because some people lie about who they really are, you never really know who you're dealing with. Be wary if a new online friend wants to meet you in person. Before you decide to meet someone, do your research: Ask whether any of your friends know the person, and see what background you can dig up through online search engines. If you decide to meet them, be smart about it: Meet in a public place, during the day, with friends you trust. Tell an adult or a responsible sibling where you're going, and when you expect to be back. Trust your gut if you have suspicions. If you feel threatened by someone or uncomfortable because of something online, report it to the police and the social networking site. You could end up preventing someone else from becoming a victim.
