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). 
  

• To receive CES college credit for a course taken through institute, the student must complete the following:

  • Let the instructor know before the start of class that they want to take the class for CES college credit (not all institute courses qualify).

  • Elevated learning experience

  • All reading requirements

  • All attendance requirements

  • Click on each courses listed in the S&I Catalog to see if they qualify to earn CES college credit.
