(BYU Pathway Worldwide Online) PathwayConnect Information |
Institute courses are available to you each term you are enrolled in PathwayConnect at no extra cost. You are expected to register for Institute during your PathwayConnect experience, even if you have previously completed and graduated from Institute. Available courses vary at each Institute location. Institute courses must be taken for credit (contact the local institute for questions concerning credits, or email wise-help@churchofjesuschrist.org,). Institute credits are not included on PathwayConnect official transcripts. Institute is not factored into your PathwayConnect GPA. However, it may count for credit when matriculating to an Online Degree Program*. With the PCB/PCIB programs, you will be able to take two Institute courses during your time with PathwayConnect. Check your local Institute for start and end dates of the course, because it may differ from the PathwayConnect course schedule.
Institute is a separate entity from the PathwayConnect program. While we have some information available to you, you will receive more information by directly contacting the Institute program. Contact information can be found on your MyInstitute page when you register for courses or you may email: wise-help@churchofjesuschrist.org
Is Institute Required? Though not taking an institute course will not prevent you from completing the PathwayConnect program, you are strongly encouraged to take an institute course. Institute courses are an integral part of the PathwayConnect program and will enhance and improve your learning experience with our program. If you are planning to matriculate to an Online Degree Program the course may count for credit*. If you do not have reasonable access to credit-bearing Institute courses, you will be eligible for PathwayConnect completion.
Religion Courses Previously, if you were 31+ you would be able to take religion courses through BYU-Idaho. This program is no longer available, and all students are expected to take Institute.
