Transfer Religion Credit
Transferring and BYU's religion credit requirements
BYU religion requirements are made up of two parts: a subject matter requirement, and a credit hour requirement. The subject matter requirement may be completed at any of the CES schools (BYU, BYU-Idaho, BYU-Hawaii, LDS Business College), or through 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. The following table outlines how many BYU religion hours are required depending on the transfer credit completed:
| 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 class (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 class (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).
