The purpose of the Academic Support Office is to promote students' academic success and assist students experiencing academic difficulties. Programs offered or coordinated by the office include academic advising, policy development, student notification, and research.

Students with deficient academic standings are notified by the office following each semester or term of a student's enrollment. This notification and the follow-up contact programs are intended to be positive in nature and are designed to increase academic effectiveness and help students attain their educational goals.

Faculty members may request information about the academic status of a student enrolled in one of their classes for the purpose of assisting the student, as well as materials to improve the student's study skills. Faculty are also encouraged to refer students who show academic deficiencies to the Academic Support Office for help.

See the Academic Standards section at in this catalog for details of BYU's academic standards.

On-Campus Education

Multicultural diversity contributes positively to the development of students, staff, faculty, and the community. We value students for what they bring culturally to campus. Special programs are designed to awaken students to a sense of value and self-worth, provide leadership-training opportunities, educate and inform BYU students and the community, and promote inclusion.

Billing and Customer's Rights

This notice contains important information about the cardholder's rights and Student Auxiliary Services' (SAS) responsibilities under the Federal Electronic Funds Transfer Act. To preserve the rights under this act the cardholder must notify SAS of any clerk, billing, or statement error within sixty days of the date when the error appeared on the cardholder's statement. The cardholder may contact SAS in writing at any time or call/visit the SAS office during regular office hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, (801) 422-3866, Signature Card Office, 2310 WSC, Provo UT, 84602.

Should the cardholder lose the ID card, he or she should call the Signature Card Office at 422-3866 or notify a Dining Services cashier immediately. A flag will be placed on the cardholder's account to protect it from unauthorized users. Failure to notify the Signature Card office within two business days may increase the cardholder's liability for unauthorized transactions.

The Signature Card account is not a demand deposit account like a savings or checking account. Money "deposited" in the cardholder's Signature Card account purchases points that may be redeemed for services at locations displaying the BYU Signature Card logo. Money may be withdrawn from the cardholder's account for emergency purposes only. A $10 processing fee is charged for this type of transaction, and it can take up to 10 days to process the check.

There is a $10 processing fee to refund unused balances at the time when a Signature Card account is closed. Cardholder's are encouraged to spend the remaining balance in their account to avoid the check-processing fee.

Declining balance accounts that have remained inactive for a period of six months will be assessed a $5 service fee for each month they remain inactive. Inactive accounts without a balance will be closed. Patrons may contact Student Auxiliary Services to reopen a closed account.

At Dining Services' locations contracted meal plans are automatically assessed first. If sufficient funds are not available in a contracted meal plan to satisfy a transaction, the system will automatically cascade to the Signature Card account. Following automatic cascading if an account still does not have sufficient funds to complete the transaction, the remaining balance will need to be paid with cash.

Brigham Young University reserves the right to set the account balance to a negative amount when the account balance has insufficient funds to post an off-line-card read transaction.

Bicyclists must:

Always park bicycles in racks.
Never ride on sidewalks during class breaks.

Bicycles not parked in racks will be impounded. BYU will not be responsible for cut locks, chains, or cables. Locks, chains, or cables may be cut only when uniformed police or traffic personnel are present.
