  • GUEST ACCESS
    Guest Access allows another person access to your BYU account. This is important if you are going on a mission because it allows a parent, or other third party, to access your information and/or complete transactions on your behalf.

  • WITHDRAW DEADLINE
    The withdraw deadline is 10 weeks after the start of the semester (typically in the middle of March) and is the last day to withdraw from a class. This will remove the class from your schedule with a "W" on your transcript instead of a grade. Consider how this could affect financial aid, scholarships, on-campus housing, and student employment.

    DISCONTINUANCE DEADLINE
    Discontinuing means withdrawing from all your classes for the current semester. This may affect your transcript, financial aid, scholarships, on-campus housing and student employment. It may also mean you need to reapply to BYU. The discontinuance deadline is 10 weeks after the start of the semester.
