Transferring Religion Credits

Transfer students should look at the religion requirement as consisting of two parts: a subject matter requirement and a credit hour requirement. The subject matter requirement may be completed at BYU, at one of the other Church Educational System schools, or at an LDS Institute of Religion. A minimum number of religion credit hours must be completed at BYU, regardless of the number of religion credit hours completed elsewhere to fulfill the credit hour requirement according to the following schedule:

Total Transfer Credits	BYU Religion Hours Required
0–14.9	14	2 Book of Mormon classes (Rel A 121 and 122) 1 Doctrine and Covenants (Rel C 324 or 325) 1 New Testament class (Rel A 211 or 212)
15–29.9	12
30–44.9	10
45–59.9	8
60–74.9	6	2 Book of Mormon classes (Rel A 121 and 122) 1 Doctrine and Covenants (Rel C 324 or 325)
75–89.9	4*
more	2*	2 Book of Mormon classes (Rel A 121 and 122)

(* More credits may be needed if the subject matter requirement has not been completed.)

Note: The transfer credits are shown in semester hours. To convert quarter hours to semester hours, multiply the quarter hours by two and divide by three (i.e., 12 quarter hours X 2 = 24 / 3 = 8 semester hours).

Letter grades from LDS Institutes of Religion will converted to pass/fail grades.
