Spouse of Intern Deferment

The Spouse of Intern Deferment is used to help students defer a semester when an internship of a spouse prevents attendance during an assigned semester. The deferment also provides the opportunity to receive an override for the next flex track semester to allow the spouse of the intern to not fall behind in their graduation plans.

This deferment is for one semester only. Following the deferred semester, students must re-enroll at the university for the next available semester of their assigned track.
Deferments of any kind may not be used in consecutive semesters.
Students cannot defer if they are academically suspended, have an Honor Code restriction, or did not attend their previous on-track semester.
Students must have a current ecclesiastical endorsement on file with the Student Honor Office in order to defer.
Students who plan to interrupt their studies for more than one semester should contact the BYU-Idaho Admissions Office at 208-496-1300 to discuss enrollment options.
