Transfer of Credit from other Universities and Institutes of Religion Religion credit earned at C.E.S. Institutes of Religion or other Church schools will transfer+ as elective credit when the following conditions are met: (1) A letter grade is given; (2) The earned letter grade appears on the BYU-Idaho transcript. Students completing courses at the BYU Jerusalem Center or Nauvoo may receive up to 6 earned credits in religion which will count toward the BYU-Idaho religion graduation requirement +Be aware that too many transferred elective credits could jeopardize the total credits allowed for registration (140 Maximum) |
| Second Religion Class | A student who wishes to take two religion classes in a given term may attempt to do so after the first day of the class IF there is available seating and they have obtained clearance to do so from the Religion Department Chairman. A student desiring to take a second class should meet with the instructor of that class and complete their registration. |
| Attendance | Each instructor may establish criteria for giving credit, but, generally, lack of attendance would affect a student's grade detrimentally and could result in no credit for the class, thus requiring the student to retake the class. |
| Waivers | Should a student be denied a graduation diploma from BYU-Idaho because the religion requirement was not completed, and reasons for the non-completion were beyond the control of the student, an appeal may be submitted for review.
For clarification and/or application for a waiver, see the Chair of the Department of Religious Education. Make the appointment with Gloria Bradshaw, Office Manager, at (208) 496-1430. |
