Summer School Information If you plan to remediate any courses through BYU this summer, it is important to email your counselor before you request the final be mailed out, otherwise they will not know to go to the Fresno State mailroom to look for your final. Furthermore, since your final expires two weeks after it is mailed out, you want to be sure that your counselor is in town and available to pick up your final and administer it to you.

While BYU grades are automoatically mailed to UHS, local area high schools do not automatically mail UHS your grades. Therefore, it is your responsibility to bring your summer school report card to Mrs. Lung. The same is true for any junior college coursework.
