The BYU Independent Study High School Program is accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).

Courses can be taken through a paper/pencil version or an online version. The student studies the materials, submits lessons, takes a final exam with a proctor or at a testing center, and receives a course grade that can be transferred to the school of their choice. BYU Courses can be taken by anyone in the world from anywhere! 

How does it work?

• Students register for a course online and are mailed course materials the same day. The course is ready to begin immediately. After submitting all of the course assignments, students take a final exam with a certified proctor or testing center in their area. 
• After lessons and exams have been completed, a course completion notice or transcript will be sent to the educational institution the student has designated. 
• It is recommended that students check with their school before enrolling in a BYU Independent Study course.
