Frequently Asked Questions
An individual grade of "C" equates to a 2.0 GPA and is defined in the BYU-Idaho Academic Catalog as a "sufficient understanding of subject matter." A student with less than a cumulative GPA of 2.0 for all coursework would not have a sufficient understanding in their program of study. Therefore, only students who have acquired, at minimum, a sufficient understanding of the subject matter can be awarded a BYU-Idaho degree.

Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 will not automatically become ineligible. Improved student success and retention efforts, currently being led by BYU-Idaho's Academic Advising Center and Student Success and Retention Office, were implemented to assist students in successfully improving their academic performance and continuing their progress toward degree completion.
When a student is changed to Ineligible, BYU-Idaho will notify the student directly by email. A student's Academic Standing is also located on the Student Tab of student.byui.edu. Look for "Academic Status" on the right side of the "Academic Summary" chart.

- May not live in BYU-Idaho approved housing
- May not attend BYU-Idaho
One of the hallmarks of the BYU-Idaho experience is the concern faculty and administration have for students and their academic success. Because of this focus, BYU-Idaho's Academic Standards Policy was designed to help students persist in their academic goals to completion of their desired program. Additionally, outreach efforts have been designed to identify at-risk students and provide immediate help in developing a personalized academic success plan.
