Hey Cougars,

There's Good News and Then There's Good News:

1) You do not have to figure everything out on your own at BYU! Upon arrival to campus, you will be assigned a trained upperclassman as a peer mentor who will be there to answer questions, point out resources, and talk about your overall BYU experience. Participating in First-Year Mentoring is your chance to make the most of BYU from day one. Read below for some quick helpful details.

2) Trying to figure out how to transfer college credits? Enrollment Services has your back! Read below for useful details on transferring credits.
First-Year Mentoring
A mentor just for you!

One-On-One Meetings
Your peer mentor will contact you to set up a meeting to get to know you better and connect you to campus resources. Along with these meetings during the school year, your mentor will email important information to you such as, upcoming deadlines, practical tips, and campus happenings. You will also have someone to guide you, offer study tips, and just listen to you. 

First-Year Classes
You are expected to fulfill your First-Year Writing and American Heritage General Education requirements. The First-Year Mentoring Program holds seats in these and other high-demand GE classes for new students. Ask your pre-arrival mentor for assistance with mentored seats. If you have not yet been contacted by your pre-arrival mentor, don't hesitate to call or text the First-Year Experience Office at 801-422-8176.
 
Transfer Credit Types
What credits will transfer?

BYU makes considerable effort to accept all college-level courses taught at other schools. However, each institution has a unique curriculum and transfer acceptance may vary. Look at the information below to find out how your courses will transfer to BYU.

AP/IB Tests
You may receive credit for Advanced Placement scores of 3, 4, 5, and Higher Level International Baccalaureate scores 5, 6, or 7. BYU should have received results from AP tests taken in May 2019 at the beginning of July. Click HERE for more information.

Transfer Verification
How do I check to see if my credits transferred?

1) Check MyMAP > Student Summary > My Progress Report

2) BYU requires transcripts from any institution you attended before. AP/IB scores should also show up on your Progress Report. If you need to add an AP/IB score, call 801-422-8522 or stop by the Registrar’s office (B-150 ASB), and they can help you pull up your score.

3) Talk to your college advisement center for evaluation of transfer work that might fill major requirements.
