How the Program Works
After you enroll, BYU will give you instructions on what to expect concerning your specific course. In general, you complete all assignments online with your online instructor. Once all assignments have been submitted and received by BYU, you can request your final exam. Your final exam will be mailed to Ms. Escalera, the Exam Proctor, and she will contact you so you can pick a day to take your final exam in person with her.
