BYU requires a series of procedures that help students obtain appropriate clearance to progress in the MPH program. These procedures are met through approval granted by your MPH committee or BYU administrators given the following forms. Students hold primary responsibility and committees hold secondary accountability to assure that appropriate department and university forms are complete. Thus, it is recommended that each student and her/his academic advisor regularly review upcoming forms and requirements. They are listed in the general order most students may need them:
