| Second
Religion Class |
A student who wishes to take two
religion classes in a given term may attempt to do so after
the first day of class IF there is available
seating. A student desiring to take a
second class should meet with the instructor of that class and complete their
registration. |
|
|
| Attendance |
Each instructor may establish
criteria for giving credit, but, generally, lack of attendance would affect a
student's grade detrimentally and could result in no credit for the class,
thus requiring the student to retake the class. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| Waivers |
Should a student be denied a graduation diploma from BYU-Idaho
because the religion requirement was not completed, and
reasons for the non-completion were beyond the control of the student, an appeal may be submitted for review. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
For clarification and/or
application for a waiver, see the Chair of the Department
of Religious Education. Make the appointment with Gloria Bradshaw, Office Manager, at
(208) 496-1430. |
