General Information

Institute courses registered and taken through a local institute will be brought into BYU-Pathway Worldwide automatically as part of the student's application process. Students will not need to do anything to transfer their Institute courses to BYU-Pathway Worldwide.

Each month, BYU-Pathway Worldwide will pull in the completed course records from Institutes of Religion and apply the transfer records to the correct student academic record.

Institute courses taken “for Church university credit” will be accepted as transfer credit to fulfill graduation requirements if they meet the following requirements.  

  • Have a letter grade of A through C- or a pass (P) grade. 

  • Have a direct equivalent to a BYU-Idaho or Ensign College religion course depending on which school a student’s chosen degree comes from). 

How to Request Missing Institute Courses

If a student is missing an Institute course on their academic record, they are required to complete the 'Transfer Credit Escalation Form'. This form can be obtained by reaching out to Support at BYU-Pathway Student Support.  

More information can be found on the Institute home page Institute Home Page.
