Academic Support Office, 2500 WSC, (801) 422-2723

A student's academic standing at BYU is determined according to the grades that the student earns at BYU. Academic standing is based on a minimum of 6 credit hours. Students enrolled for fewer than 6 credit hours in a semester or term have their credits combined with their next enrollment(s) until 6 credits of graded hours are accumulated, at which point the academic standing is calculated. The following outline shows the conditions and expectations according to the student's academic standing. For further information, students are encouraged to check their current academic standing by selecting Student Academic Record, then selecting Current Academic Standing in AIM.

Note: College Advisement Centers (CACs) may also set registration blocks on students not progressing toward timely graduation. In such cases, students must also meet with their CAC to have this block removed.
