# About the Office of Compliance

BYU-Idaho is committed to conduct its activities with the highest integrity and ethical standards, and in compliance with all applicable laws and University policies.

## Welcome to the Office of Compliance

The legal and regulatory environment is complex. It is challenging to keep up with laws that change constantly and present unique risks to higher education.

BYU-Idaho's compliance program offers guidance and resources to ensure all ethical and legal obligations are met when acting on the University's behalf. Compliance is less about getting people to follow rules, and more about creating a culture of ethical conduct. When a community upholds and advances core values that underlie established laws and policies, then privacy, freedom, safety, and respect are enjoyed by all.

Compliance Hotline FAQs | Office of Compliance | BYU-Idaho

# Compliance Hotline FAQs

## Frequently Asked Questions

The first thing you should do is discuss the matter with that person's supervisor or your own supervisor. Often the issue can be resolved by department management with no need for further investigation. However, if criminal activity is suspected, report the matter immediately using one of the methods outlined on the Compliance Hotline webpage.

The Compliance Hotline is available for your use in such situations.

You should file a report using the Compliance Hotline.

You may make your report anonymously. However, please note that unless enough information is provided, we may not be able to fully investigate the report. We encourage you to give us your name and contact information, in confidence, so we can ask appropriate questions and fully investigate the matter. We will keep confidential the identity of any person making a report unless the person consents to or a governmental authority compels the disclosure.

You should contact the Compliance Officer through the Compliance Hotline and request his guidance. In some instances, University policies can be technical or unclear. Often a discussion of the matter can lead to a relief of suspicion or indicate a need for further investigation.

You do have the right to contact outside authorities. However, the University is often in a better position to address the concern and resolve the situation without external involvement. If the situation is such that you witness a crime in progress or there is immediate danger, immediately notify the police by calling 9-1-1.

Yes. University policy protects any person who makes a report of reasonable suspicion of noncompliance or unethical behavior in the workplace. Any retaliation by any person may subject that person to disciplinary action.

No. However, you should have a reasonable basis for making a complaint. This means your report should include enough information for appropriate personnel to follow up on the complaint, gather the facts, and review the matter in detail.

If you identify yourself (rather than submitting an anonymous report), you will be notified the issue is being reviewed. In the course of the review, you may be contacted to clarify the concern or provide additional information. You will be informed of the progress of the review. Depending on the outcome, we may or may not be able to share information regarding the eventual outcome.

If possible, you should first discuss the concern with your supervisor and attempt to resolve the concern raised through appropriate means. If the concern is of such a nature as to warrant further investigation, you may file a report through the Compliance Hotline. If you determine the matter can be handled within the department, be sure to document any action taken and discuss the results with the person raising the concern so they understand how the matter has been addressed.
State Authorization and Student Complaints | BYU-Idaho

# State Authorization and Student Complaints

BYU-Idaho is required to be "authorized" to offer educational programs in its home state, as well as in any state in which it offers distance education programs. That authorization indicates that BYU-Idaho meets certain standards under the laws and regulations of those states. 
 
See also State Authorization and Professional Licensure.

BYU-Idaho is an approved participant of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA). Participation in SARA allows BYU-Idaho to offer online courses to students in the U.S. jurisdictions that have adopted SARA, including 49 states and the District of Columbia. California, the only state that currently does not participate in SARA, does not regulate distance learning by out-of-state institutions if they do not have a "physical presence" in the state. As a result, BYU-Idaho is authorized to offer distance learning courses to students in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. To learn more, visit SARA. 
 
Complaints regarding online courses should be handled following the Student Grievance Policy. If a SARA student feels that a complaint was not resolved to his or her satisfaction, he or she may contact Idaho's State Portal Entity: Idaho State Board of Education. Students may also file a complaint with their home jurisdiction's SARA portal agency, using the current contact information available here. Complaints regarding grades or student conduct violations are governed by institution policy and Idaho state laws and may not be appealed under SARA.

Students residing in California (the only non-SARA state) may file a complaint on the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education Complaints website.

BYU-Idaho's regional accrediting agency, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, will consider complaints about BYU-Idaho after all institutional grievance policies have been exhausted, and if the complaint is directly related to accreditation eligibility requirements, standards, and procedures. 
 
Please refer to our Office of Accreditation for more information.

# Academic Program Compliance

Academic programs must operate at a high level of integrity to meet the needs of all students and follow applicable laws.

Numerous laws govern the way a university must operate its academic programs--starting from the time prospective students are considered and admitted. Educational programs and activities must be free from specific forms of discrimination and, in some cases, provide for necessary accommodations. Academic programs must meet standards of program integrity. Moreover, the regulations governing student financial aid impose stringent requirements related to disclosure of information, federal reporting, and the structure of programs and courses.

Accessibility & Disability Compliance | Office of Compliance | BYU-Idaho

# Access & Disability Compliance

BYU-Idaho is committed to provide equal access to educational and employment opportunities for all students and employees with disabilities.

## Our Commitment to Accessibility

Disability law is generally enforced through federal and state equal opportunity agencies. Unlawful discriminatory action by the university may result both in litigation against the university and possible loss of federal financial assistance. Because of the extensive legal regulation designed to assist persons with disabilities and heightened public sensitivity to barriers faced by persons with disabilities, it is important that the campus community be informed of its responsibilities under applicable disability laws. BYU-Idaho seeks to reasonably accommodate those with disabilities and to provide needed services through its Accessibility Services office.
