Transferring Religion Credit

Learn how to transfer religion credits from BYU-Idaho, BYU-Hawaii, Ensign College, and institute.
Religion Requirements

Religion courses are an integral part of the university curriculum and conform to university standards and expectations. While enrolled at BYU, students are required to take religion courses from BYU. For more details, refer to the Doctrinal Foundation and Religious Electives section on the University Core Explained page in the catalog or visit the Religious Education website.

Cornerstone courses and religion electives may be completed at any CES institute of Higher Education (BYU, BYU-Idaho, BYU-Hawaii, or Ensign College), as well as at BYU Pathway, and transferred to BYU as course-equivalent credit (see the Credit Requirements found at Religious Education).

Petition for Religion Credit

The Department of Religious Education offers a petition form for those seeking approval for a course substitution or an exception to university policy. For questions about the petition process, contact (801) 422-2735.
