Online Courses

Students may take an online course through an outside provider with control over the time, place, and pace of their learning. Students are responsible for researching and selecting an online course they wish to take. After submitting an application, students will receive an email stating whether or not the plan was approved.

PLEASE READ THIS PAGE COMPLETELY BEFORE SUBMITTING A CREDIT FLEX APPLICATION FOR AN ONLINE COURSE.

*Please also review ALL information in the Credit Flexibility Handbook.

Steps to Apply for a Credit Flex Online Course:

Submit the Credit Flex Application (from student's MHS account!) where student will indicate which provider/course they plan to take.
Student will receive an email indicating if the course was approved or not - please allow approximately 2 weeks for receipt of approval email. **All emails will be sent to the student's MHS email account.**
If the course is approved, the student may proceed with registering/purchasing the course. **At this point, all registration questions should be handled by the online provider.**
A transcript, including the final course grade and credit, should be electronically uploaded on the Credit Flex Completion Form. **PLAN AHEAD, if taking a course from BYU (or any other online provider), as a transcript will need to be submitted by the appropriate semester deadline, in order to issue credit.

Online Course Providers/Information

*An online provider must be an accredited institution and must be able to provide an official transcript indicating a grade and credit earned upon completion of the coursework.

*If this course is a prerequisite to another course for original credit, you MUST complete the Credit Flex course PRIOR to being scheduled into the next course in the sequence.

*All fees associated with online courses, including exam proctoring fees, are the sole responsibility of the applicant. Please do not purchase a course until you have received approval of your Credit Flex plan.

*Upon completion of the course, students will be required to upload completed documents on the Credit Flex Completion Form BEFORE the semester deadline in order to receive a grade and credit.
