Study Hall
Incoming freshman, transfer students, and any student-athletes on academic warning or probation are required to attend 8 hours of study hall per week.
The amount of hours may increase based on lack of academic progress during the semester. Those athletes receiving a 2.5 GPA or above, AFTER their freshman or first year at BYU, are exempt from further required study hall; others will continue with 4-8 hours per week. Academic advisors, learning specialsts, or coaches may adjust the requirement as needed.
Study hall reports are sent to coaches each week, reporting study hall attendance and the number of hours attended.
To receive study hall credit, a student-athlete must swipe their BYU ID upon arrival in the Built4Life Center and swipe again when exiting. The login system is located at the front desk, when first walking in.
Student-athletes MUST swipe out when leaving. If there is no record of swiping out, the hours spent in the center will be deleted by midnight of that day and will not count towards study hall hours.
A student-athlete may receive study hall credit for spending time in the computer lab, meeting with tutors or mentors, attending a TA/tutor session, or attending an organized study session. To receive study hall credit for attending a TA/tutor session on campus, a student-athlete must obtain a TA session form from the front secretary and have it signed by the TA/tutor, verifying attendance.
No study hall credit is given for studying beyond 3 hours. If an athlete would like to stay longer than 3 hours, he or she will need to swipe out and swipe back in. Study hall credit will not be given during devotional; student-athletes will be signed out at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesdays and will need to swipe their ID again if staying after 12 p.m.
