Student Development Courses

More info can be found at http://catalog.byu.edu/courses?cd=244

These courses are designed to help each unique student develop the skills necessary for an ultimate academic career, and life success. These courses may not fulfill major requirements.

Your Professor and TAs

Many professors have great suggestions on how to be successful in their classes. Meeting with TAs is a great way to review material and ask questions. Visit professors and TAs during their office hours. If your schedule conflicts with their office hours, email them to set up another time to meet.

Records Office

Location: D155 ASB, 801-422-2631, https://enrollment.byu.edu/registrar/records

Petitions - https://registrar.byu.edu/petitions. A resource for students whose poor academic performance was a result of extenuating circumstances not related to academics but affected a student’s academics (Death of a close relative, illness or injury including depression). Students may submit a petition to withdraw from courses. Meet with your Life Sciences Advisor for more information.

Incomplete Contracts, https://registrar.byu.edu/incomplete-contracts. You may request an incomplete grade (I) from your instructor if you had a nonacademic emergency (serious illness, personal injury, death in the immediate family, etc.) occur after the discontinuance deadline. An incomplete contract allows you to have up to one year to complete the unfinished coursework with your instructor. If the contract is not completed, a failing grade (IE) will be given.

Yourself

Reduce work hours in order to increase study hours. Many students are unable to achieve their GPA goal because they are working too many hours during the semester. We recommend 15 hours or less of work per week.
