From CES Institutes of Religion and Church Schools
Students are expected to take religion classes at the school where they are enrolled. However, starting in Fall semester 2026, during semesters when not enrolled in classes at BYU-Idaho, all students may take an Institute class for “BYU-Idaho transfer credit.” This may be repeated a second semester for up to 4 total Institute credits counting toward the BYU-Idaho religion requirement. Institute credits completed while enrolled in classes at BYU-Idaho will NOT transfer. Any Institute credits beyond the 4-credit limit will not transfer and must be retaken at BYU if needed. Institute classes taken prior to Fall 2026 will not be accepted for BYU-Idaho credit.

BYU-Idaho students are lucky enough to be eligible to apply and, if accepted, attend the BYU Jerusalem Center. Despite BYU’s sponsorship of BYU-Idaho in this program, all applications must go through BYU. All information regarding the center can be found on the BYU Jerusalem Center website.
All courses taken at BYU Jerusalem Center during a student’s BYU-Idaho experience will transfer to BYU-Idaho and calculate into the student’s BYU-Idaho GPA. These courses can fulfill BYU-Idaho’s general religion credit requirements.
BYU Jerusalem Center credits earned prior to a student’s enrollment at BYU-Idaho can be used to fulfill religion course content only, not the BYU-Idaho residency requirement.
