Registration Instructions

Notice: Beginning October for winter registration, add/drop cards will be replaced by permission-to-add codes. Any time an add/drop card was used in the past, a permission-to-add code will then be used. Instructors will give permission-to-add codes to students. The student will then enter this one-time-use code in MyMAP to add the course. Click here for more information...

Adding Classes

Who May Register

You may register if you are either a continuing BYU student or a new student who has received an acceptance notice from the Admissions Office for the semester you want to attend.

Your continuing student status will end if you do not complete day school classes during fall or winter semesters or if you have graduated from BYU. If you have lost your continuing student status, you must be readmitted by the Admissions Office (D-155 ASB) before registration begins.

If you have disaffiliated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or have been excommunicated or disfellowshipped, you are not eligible for enrollment at BYU until you are in good standing with the Church. As a current student, if you disaffiliate, or are excommunicated or disfellowshipped from the Church, the Continuing Ecclesiastical Endorsement will be immediately withdrawn, and you will be discontinued. Every student must have a Continuing Ecclesiastical Endorsement for continued enrollment.

 

Registration Methods

Each academic department determines how classes may be added. The add method for each class is noted on the class timetable in the class schedule using the following abbreviations:

F: Class may be added online using MyMAP until the first day of class. A permission-to-add code must be used from the first day of class until the add deadline.

S: A permission-to-add code from the instructor/department is always required.

O: Class may be added online using MyMAP through the add deadline.

If the section you want to add is already full, keep checking back every few days. There is a chance that a student already in that class will drop it before classes start. Also pay attention to prerequisites and recommendations listed at the top of the screen. Also pay attention to the Notes column for specific instructions for individual sections.

 

Adding Classes Using a Permission-to-add Code

Some classes may require a permission-to-add code for registration. To add a class that requires a permission-to-add code, contact the instructor/department and obtain a permission-to-add code. Login to Route Y and select MyMAP. In MyMAP, select the Register Tab. Find the desired semester and click the Add Classes button. Select the teaching area and course you wish to add. In the left hand column, click the "P" for the class you are adding. A pop-up box will appear where you may enter the permission-to-add code. Enter the permission-to-add code and click "continue". In the resulting window, select "OK" to verify the transaction. If you have a registration hold, you will not be able to use the permission-to-add code until you clear all holds.

 

Permission-to-add codes


Auditing Classes

Definition of an Audit

To audit a class means to register for a class without receiving credit. The same tuition applies to audit classes as classes for credit. Classes taken for audit will not appear on a student’s official record, will not be considered in calculating enrollment verifications, and do not fulfill the minimum registration requirements. However, audits do count in the maximum credit hours allowed per semester/term. Verification of a class taken for audit is not possible. Students must be officially enrolled either for credit or audit to be eligible to attend class.

Registering for an Audit Class

Students desiring to audit a class can only do so with a permission-to-audit code given out by the instructor or department during the first two weeks of a semester or first six days of a term. See the "Adding Classes Using a Permission-to-add Code" section above for more information on using permission-to-add codes. Students registering for credit who wish to change to audit must drop the class for credit and add it with a permission-to-audit code for audit. The first five digits of the permission-to-audit code must say "audit" in order for the permission-to-audit code to add the class for audit. It is not possible to register for an audit class without a permission-to-audit code.

Audit Only Students

Students admitted to Evening School who want to audit day classes must contact the Evening School Office, 120 HCEB, (801) 422-2872, for an Application for “Audit Only” Students Auditing Day Classes form. No application fee is required but students will be charged the same tuition costs as if they were taking the class for credit. Approval to audit is done one semester at a time. The application form must be completed every semester or term a student plans to attend. Audit only students are required to wait until the first day of class to receive and use permission-to-audit codes.

Senior Citizens

Persons 55 or older may register for evening classes for $25 per class.  No more than two courses may be taken per semester at the discounted senior citizen rate.  All classes must be taken for audit only.

 

 

Dropping Classes

Dropping Classes Before the Add/Drop Deadline

Classes may be dropped online using MyMAP at no cost until the add/drop deadline. To drop a class, follow these steps:

  1. Log into Route Y using your Net ID and password or click here to enter MyMAP directly and skip step 2. If you have forgotten your Net ID or password, click here.
  2. Select the School tab and click the MyMAP link or type MyMAP in the Quick URL box and click the orange arrow box.
  3. Click the Register tab.
  4. Find the semester/term for which you wish to drop classes.
  5. Click Drop next to the class you wish to drop.
  6. A window will pop up asking you to confirm that you want to drop that class. Click OK to drop the class.

Note: If you are dropping all your classes, please contact the Discontinuance Office.

Withdrawing From Classes Between the Add/Drop Deadline and the Withdraw Deadline

Students may withdraw from classes until the withdraw deadline. When withdrawing from a class, a $10 fee will be charged and a "W" will be posted to the student's transcript.

Generally, W's do not affect a student unless the student has a number of them and is applying to graduate school. The graduate school may wonder why the student repeatedly signs up for courses and then drops them after the deadline.

To withdraw from a class, follow these steps:

  1. Log into Route Y using your Net ID and password or click here to enter MyMAP directly and skip to step 3. If you have forgotten your Net ID or password, click here.
  2. Select the School tab and click the MyMAP link or type MyMAP in the Quick URL box and click the orange arrow box.
