BYU Independent Study

BYU Independent Study offers a variety of rigorous courses for middle and high school students to help them prepare for higher education and successful careers.

Courses are online and self-paced and don’t require attending live class times. Course content may include videos, computerized labs, interactive activities, tutorials, and animated clips.

Assignments are required and teacher-graded. Students benefit from teacher support through responsive feedback and virtual office hours.

Additional Information:

• Not all courses in the BYU catalog are available as a My Tech High Direct option.

• Courses are middle and high school level; no college credit is available.

• High school courses taken before 9th grade do not count on a high school transcript.

• Diploma-seeking students in grades 9-12 must finish coursework and the final exam by the end of each semester. Registration for the second half of a course occurs in early January. Students must complete Part 1 of a given course before beginning Part 2 in the 2nd Semester.

• All final exams require a proctor. Search for a testing center site by zip code here. Many testing sites are free.

• Some courses may require books and supplies. Students purchase these items independently and may seek reimbursement with Technology Allowance.

• Students who enroll in an AP class will need to register for the exam here, as BYU Independent Study does not facilitate AP tests.

• AP courses do not guarantee college credit, as that depends on test scores and the individual college to which a student applies.

• Text-to-speech accommodations are available. Students who require additional accommodations may wish to select another program.
