Overview of BYU–Hawaii
A Message from the President
Aloha! Welcome to Brigham Young University–Hawaii. BYU–
Hawaii was founded by a prophet of God, President David O.
McKay. He envisioned a college of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints in Laie that would prepare students from
around the world to become learners, leaders, and builders. He
foresaw students who would “study and treasure the things of
education in all fields” as deeply engaged learners. They would be
leaders of high moral character—“genuine gold”—“not only on
this island but everywhere.” And they would be builders “whose
influence will be felt for good toward the establishment of peace
internationally.” I invite you to embrace this prophetic vision.
President McKay deliberately located BYU–Hawaii next to an
historic temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints.
To take full advantage of your educational opportunities here, it
will be necessary for you to keep your covenants as well as your
promise to live the Honor Code. You will find faculty and staff
here dedicated to helping you learn “by study and by faith.” You
will also interact daily with people from many countries in “a
living laboratory in which individuals who share the teachings of
the Master Teacher have an opportunity to develop appreciation,
tolerance, and esteem for one another” (Marion G. Romney, 1973).
This is your holokai, your educational journey. It is your chance to
sail in the direction of your dreams. If you strive with all your
might to fulfill your dreams and the dreams of prophets for you,
in time you will discover the truth of what the American writer
Henry David Thoreau said:
“I learned this . . . that if one advances confidently in the direction of his
dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet
with a success unexpected in common hours.”
Aloha,
John S. Tanner
Aloha and Welcome

University Accreditation
B
righam Young University–Hawaii was established as the Church
College of Hawaii in 1955. An accreditation visit from the Western
Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) resulted in the Church
College of Hawaii obtaining full accreditation as a two-year college in
October 1959 and then full accreditation as a four-year institution in
February 1961. Further reaccreditations were received in January 1964,
May 1968, and June 1972.
In 1974 the Church College of Hawaii would become Brigham Young
University Hawaii, and BYU–Hawaii received a reaffirmation of
accreditation from the Accrediting Commission for Senior colleges of
the Western Association of Schools and Colleges in June 1976 and
June 1981. This reaccreditation as reaffirmed again in 1986, 1996, 2008,
and 2017.
WASC is located at 985 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 100 Alameda, CA 94501

Historical Sketch
BY
U–Hawaii’s unique history combines solid moral roots with
legacies of academic excellence and multi-cultural harmony.
On July 2, 1954, David O. McKay, President of The Church of Jesus
C
hrist of Latter-day Saints, announced that the church would establish
a college in Hawaii. This simple declaration marked the fulfillment of
what the prophet had envisioned 33 years earlier while serving as an
Apostle. He had witnessed a flag raising ceremony by children of the
Church sponsored elementary school in La’ie and foresaw an
institution of higher learning in this small community. A decorative
mosaic above the main entrance of the David O. McKay Building
commemorates that historic occasion.
President McKay presided at a groundbreaking ceremony attended
b
y more than 1, 000 Church members and guests on February 12,
1955. That event marked the beginning of what is today Brigham
Young University–Hawaii.
Dr. Reuben D. Law,
the first president of the college, played a key
role in selecting a suitable site for the campus and designing the
curriculum. Under his leadership, in August 1955, the Church
College of Hawaii opened its doors as a junior college with an
enrollment of 153 students. Classes met in temporary war surplus
buildings and in the La’ie Ward Chapel near the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints Temple. At the opening assembly on
September 26, 1955, President Law shared with the faculty and
students a special message and charge from President McKay. The
following two guiding principles in that charge have provided the
basis upon which the university has developed:
“Always bear in mind these two things as you proceed with this
c
ollege: First, the students must be imbued with the fact and be led to
feel that the most important thing in the world is the Gospel (of Jesus
Christ) and that the observance of its principles in their lives
brings happiness and joy in this life and further progress and
exaltation in the life hereafter; and, secondly, the college must be
fully creditable in all its instruction and activities.”
Dr. Law served as President until 1959. During his tenure the firs
t
commencement ceremonies were conducted in June, 1956, with 10
students receiving associate degrees. Permanent facilities of the present
campus were built by Church labor missionaries called from the
Pacific area, under the leadership of Joseph E. Wilson and supervisors
from the U.S. mainland. President McKay dedicated the new facilities
on December 17, 1958.
Dr. Richard T. Wootton,
a member of the original faculty and acting
president for the 1958-59 school year, was appointed as the second
president of the college in 1959. He was instrumental in getting the
school accredited as a four-year liberal arts and teacher training
institution on February 23, 1961. Beginning in 1962, a fifth year in
education was added to qualify students for the State of Hawaii
Professional Certificate in Education.
Dr. Owen J. Cook,
executive secretary of the Church’s Pacific Board of
Education, assumed leadership of the university when Dr. Wootton
left in 1964 and was officially named president on August 1, 1965.
President Cook increased enrollment to more than 1, 200 students
representing every major island group in the Pacific and many Asian-
rim countries. He also initiated a work/study sponsorship program in
4
cooperation with the Polynesian Cultural Center to help Pacific and
Asian students finance their education.
Dr. Stephen L. Brower,
a former professor of sociology at Utah State
University, succeeded Dr. Cook as president in July 1971. Less than
two years later, the student Aloha Center was completed and
dedicated by President Marion G. Romney, a counselor in the Church’s
First Presidency. Also under President Cook’s leadership, the school’s
mission statement and goals were more clearly defined and formalized.
This led to significant changes in the curriculum and an announcement
by the Church Board of Education on April 13, 1974, that, beginning
September 1, 1974, Church College of Hawaii would become Brigham
Young University–Hawaii Campus.
Dr. Dan W. Andersen,
Academic Vice President to President Brower,
became the University’s first president under its new name. As
president of BYU–Hawaii, President Anderson reported to Dallin H.
Oaks, President of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
President Andersen helped to refine changes initiated by President
Brower. Several major buildings, including a campus library, were
planned and completed under his direction. He placed strong
emphasis on programs to prepare students for living and working in
the Pacific and Asia. Under President Andersen’s leadership the
University prepared for and, in 1976, received full ten-year
accreditation by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and
Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
Dr. J. E
lliot Cameron, Vice President for Student Life at Brigham
Young University, became the sixth president of the Hawaii campus
on August 1, 1980. President Cameron guided the University toward
a dramatic facelift and beautification, including completion and
dedication of the 4, 500-seat Cannon Activities Center and the Lorenzo
Snow Administration Building— both conceptualized during
President Andersen’s tenure. In cooperation with the Polynesian
Cultural Center, the university also extended its outreach to China by
establishing internships and a faculty exchange relationship with Jilin
University.
Dr. Alton L. Wade b
ecame president on May 8, 1986, after J. Elliot
Cameron’s appointment as Commissioner of Education for The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During President Wade’s
administration, the academic program was reorganized into the
College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, and the School
of Education. Some majors were discontinued or modified, and new
majors were introduced in special education, psychology, and
computer science. Many campus facilities were renovated. A new 24-
office faculty building was also added to the campus in 1994.
President Wade left BYU–Hawaii in 1994 to become the Vice
President of Student Life at Brigham Young University.
Dr. Eric B. Shumway,
Vice President for Academics to Presidents
Cameron and Wade, became the eighth president of BYU–Hawaii on
November 18, 1994. President Shumway is a Professor of English and
was a member of the BYU–Hawaii faculty since 1966. From 1986 to
1989, he served as President of the Tongan Mission for the Church.
President Shumway’s leadership was significant to the University.
Under his direction, BYU–Hawaii launched the Jonathan Nāpela
Center for Hawaiian Language and Cultural Studies in 1998 and the
School of Computing in 2002. His leadership strengthened the School
of Business and its Center for Entrepreneurship; programs in Teaching
English as a Second Language and English as an International
Language; and other academic efforts. He also established formal
programs that helped students return to their home countries and
make a difference in their careers, communities, the Church and their
families. Perhaps most importantly, he helped the University
strengthen its harmonious multicultural learning environment as the
percentage of international students increased to almost one-half, one
of the highest in the United States. President and Sister Shumway were
name as the President and Matron of the Nuku’alofa Tonga Temple
upon his retirement in 2007 after serving at the University for over 40
years.
Dr. Steven C. Wheelwright, t
he Edsel Bryant Ford Professor of
Business Administration, Emeritus at Harvard Business School,
became the ninth president of Brigham Young University–Hawaii on
June 23, 2007. He earned his MBA and Ph.D. degrees from the
Stanford University Graduate School of Business, taught one year at
the European Institute of Management in France, and then joined the
business faculty at Harvard for the next nine years. He later taught
for several more years at Stanford before returning to Harvard
Business School where he served as the Senior Associate Dean
responsible for the M.B.A. program. More recently, he interrupted
his educational career to serve as president of the London England
Mission from 2000-2003.
Returning to Harvard, Dr. Wheelwright was a Baker Foundation
p
rofessor and senior associate dean and director of the school’s
publication activities. He also oversaw major on-campus
construction projects.
Upon
his appointment at BYU–Hawaii, President Wheelwright
commented, “We’re excited because we believe in the mission of
BYU–Hawaii. BYU–Hawaii has as the center part of its mission the
combining of an education in secular knowledge with an equally
outstanding education in spiritual knowledge. This is an
environment that I look forward very much to being a part of.”

Policies & Procedures
Academic Freedom Statement
POLICY
1. PURPOSE
At Brigham Young University–Hawaii, faculty and students are
enjoined to “seek learning…by study and also by faith” (D&C 88:118).
This integration of truth lies at the heart of BYU–Hawaii’s institutional
mission. As a religiously distinctive university, BYU–Hawaii opens up
a space in the academic world which its faculty and students can
pursue knowledge in light of the restored gospel as taught by The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For those who have
embraced the gospel, BYU–Hawaii offers an especially rich and full
kind of academic freedom. To seek knowledge in the light of revealed
truth is, for believers, to be free indeed.
The BY
U–Hawaii community embraces traditional freedoms of study,
inquiry, and debate, together with the special responsibilities implicit
in the University’s religious mission. These include the duty to
exemplify charity and virtue, to nurture faith, and to endeavor to teach
all subjects with the Spirit of the Lord.
This document articulates in clear, but general terms how BYU–
H
awaii’s unique religious mission relates to principles of academic
freedom. BYU–Hawaii regards the following approach not as
NARROWING the scope of freedom, but ENABLING greater (or least
different) and much prized freedoms.
2. INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL
ACADEMIC FREEDOM AT
BYU–HAWAII
The concept of academic freedom at BYU–Hawaii is grounded in a
distinction, often blurred but vital and historically based, between
INDIVIDUAL and INSTITUTIONAL academic freedom. (See Michael
W. McConnell, “Academic Freedom in Religious Colleges and
Universities,” LAW AND CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS 53.3 [1990]:
303-24; David M. Rabban, “A Functional Analysis of ‘Individual’ and
`Institutional’ Academic Freedom under the First Amendment,” LAW
AND CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS 53.3 [1990]: 227-301.) These two
facets of academic freedom have been described as “the freedom of the
individual scholar to teach and research without interference” and
“the freedom of the academic institution from outside control.”
(McConnell, “Academic Freedom,” 305.) Both individual and
institutional academic freedom are necessary to maintain the unique
intellectual climate of BYU–Hawaii. What follows is an attempt to
define why both individual and institutional academic freedom are
valuable at BYU–Hawaii and how they must be protected.
2.1 I
ndividual Freedom
Individual freedom lies at the core o
f both religious and academic
life. Freedom of thought, belief, inquiry, and expression are crucial no
less to the sacred than to the secular quest for truth. Historically in
fact, freedom of conscience and freedom of intellect form a common
root, from which grow both religious and academic freedom. It is no
wonder then that both then Church and the academy affirm the need
10
for individual freedom – the Church through the doctrine of
individual “agency”, the academy through the concept of individual
academic freedom.
2.2 I
ndividual Agency
The Church teaches that “moral agency” (which encompasses freedom
a
nd accountability) is basic to the nature and purpose of mortality (see
2 Ne 2:26, D&C 93:30-31; D&C 101:77-78). In the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints theology, individual freedom is essential to
intellectual and spiritual growth. Every Latter-day Saint is enjoined
to know truth for himself or herself. We claim it as our privilege to
seek wisdom. Teachers and institutions play a crucial role in making
truth available and discoverable. But neither testimony, nor
righteousness, nor genuine understanding is possible unless it is
freely discovered and voluntarily embraced.
2.3 I
ndividual Academic Freedom
Perhaps no condition is as important to creating a university as is the
f
reedom of the individual faculty member “to teach and research
without interference” (McConnell, “Academic Freedom, “305), to ask
hard questions, to subject answers to rigorous examination, and to
engage in scholarship and creative work. The academy depends on
untrammeled inquiry to discover, test, and transmit knowledge. This
includes the traditional right to publish or present the results of
original research in the reputable scholarly literature and professional
conferences of one’s academic discipline. Although all universities
place some restraints on individual academic freedom, every
institution that qualifies for the title of university allows ample room
for genuine exploration of diverse ideas.
2.4 I
ntegration of Individual Agency and Academic Freedom
Latter-da
y Saint scholars are thus doubly engaged to learn truth for
themselves because both the Church and the academy bid them to
undertake a personal quest for knowledge. BYU–Hawaii aspires to be a
host for this integrated search for truth by offering a unique enclave of
inquiry, where teachers and students may seek learning “by study and
also by faith” (D&C 88:118; cf. “The Mission of Brigham Young
University–Hawaii”).
2.5 S
cope of Integration
Because the gospel encompasses all truth and affirms the full range of
hu
man modes of knowing, the scope of integration for the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints scholars is, in principle, as wide as
truth itself. Brigham Young eloquently articulated this gospel-based
aspiration, proclaiming it is our duty and calling . . . to reject every
error . . . to gather up all the truths in the world pertaining to life and
salvation, to the gospel we preach . . . to the sciences, and to
philosophy, wherever it may be found in every nation, kindred,
tongue, and people. (JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, [Liverpool: Amasa
Lyman, 1860], 7:283-84.)
Similarly, modern revelation instructs Latter-d
ay Saints to learn:
Of thing
s both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things
which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to
pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and
perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land;
and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms. (D&C 88:79)
Further, Latter-d
ay Saints believe, as an article of faith, “all that God
has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and . . . that He will yet
reveal many great and important things” (9th Article of Faith), and
they are encouraged to use all their faculties – including heart, mind,
and spirit – in their quest for truth (cf. D&C 4:2; 9:7-9).
2.6 S
ummary
At BY
U–Hawaii, individual academic freedom is based not only on a
belief (shared by all universities) in the value of free inquiry, but also
on the gospel principle that humans are moral agents who should
seek knowledge in the sacred as well as in the secular, by the heart
and spirit as well as by the mind, and in continuing revelation as
well as in the written word of God. BYU–Hawaii students and their
parents are entitled to expect an educational experience that reflects
this aspiration.
3. INSTITUTIONAL ACADEMIC
FREEDOM
3
.1 BYU–Hawaii’s Mission
•
BYU–Hawaii has always defined itself as an openly and
distinctively a university of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints.
•
BYU–Hawaii is wholly owned by the Church, which
provides the University’s principal source of funding from
the tithing funds paid to the Church by its members.
•
BYU–Hawaii draws its faculty and students principally from
Church members. Everyone who works and studies at BYU–
Hawaii subscribes to an Honor Code in order that the
University may provide a university education in an
atmosphere consistent with the ideals and principles of the
Church.
•
New faculty are interviewed by Church General Authorities
as a condition of employment, and Church members are
subsequently expected, as part of their university
citizenship, to live lives of loyalty to the restored gospel.
•
Faculty of other faiths agree to respect The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints nature of the University and its
mission, while the University in turn respects their religious
convictions. Thus, BYU–Hawaii defines itself as having a
unique religious mission and as pursuing knowledge in a
climate of belief. This model of education differs clearly and
consciously from public university models that embody a
separation of church and state.
•
It is not expected that the faculty will agree on every point of
doctrine, much less on the issues in the academic disciplines
that divide faculties in any university.
•
It is expected, however, that a spirit of Christian charity and
common faith in the gospel will unite even those with wide
differences and that questions will be raised in ways that seek to
strengthen rather than undermine faith.
•
It is also expected that faculty members will be sensitive to
the difference between matters that are appropriate for
public discussion and those that are better discussed in
private.
•
In short, BYU–Hawaii defines itself as an intellectual
community of faithful members of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, and those sympathetic to their
convictions, who pursue knowledge from the baseline of
religious belief.
11
3.2 Definition of Institutional Academic Freedom
BYU–Hawaii c
laims the right to maintain this identity by the
appropriate exercise of its institutional academic freedom.
“Institutional academic freedom” is the term used to express the
privilege of universities to pursue their distinctive missions. It is implicit
in principles and practices of other church-related universities. (For
example, the Catholic church’s major statement on academic freedom in
Catholic universities, EX CORDE ECCLESIAE, affirms, among other
things, that “every Catholic university, without ceasing to be a
university, has a relationship to the church that is essential to its
institutional identity” [John Paul II, “Apostolic Constitution on
Catholic Universities (EX CORDE ECCLESIAE),” paragraph 27
(1990)].) BYU–Hawaii likewise affirms that its relationship to The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is essential to its unique
institutional identity. (For a discussion of “The Greater Institutional
Academic Freedom of Private Universities,” see Rabban, “A Functional
Analysis,” 266-71.)
4. BENEFITS OF INSTITUTIONAL
FREEDOM
The religious university constitutes an endangered species in today’s
academic ecosystem. (See, for example, several articles appearing in
FIRST THINGS: James Nuechterlein, “The Death of Religious Higher
Education” [January 1991]: 7-8; George M. Marsden, “The Soul of the
American University” [January 1991]: 34-47; James Tunstead Burtchaell,
“The Decline and Fall of the Christian College” [April 1991]: 16-29 and
[May 1991]: 30-38; David W. Lutz, “Can Notre Dame Be Saved”
[January 1992]: 35-40.) To force religious institutions to comply with
narrowly secular definitions of academic freedom is to further imperil
the survival of these distinctive intellectual communities.
There are at least three reasons why the institutional academic
fr
eedom of religious institutions should be protected:
•
To maintain institutional pluralism;
•
To be consistent with the anti-dogmatic principles of
academic freedom;
•
To safeguard religious freedom. (See McConnell, “Academic
Freedom,” 311-18.) Each argument is sufficiently important to
bear brief summary.
4.1 Pluralism
R
eligious colleges and un
iversities contribute to our diverse “ethical,
cultural, and intellectual life.” (McConnell, “Academic Freedom,” 312.)
Few enough to pose no threat to sectarian domination, religious
institutions provide important alternatives to prevailing secular
modes of thought. This “makes them better able to resist the popular
currents of majoritarian culture and thus to preserve the seeds of
dissent and alternative understandings that may later be welcomed by
the wider society.” (McConnell, “Academic Freedom,” 312.)
Furthermore, to i
mpose a definition of academic freedom that
disallows creedal and philosophical considerations “is to randomize
every faculty with respect to creed and philosophy. This increases
diversity within each faculty, but it eliminates the diversity among
faculties.” (McConnell, “Academic Freedom,” 313.) Similarly,
Rabban argues that private universities may be granted greater
latitude to establish educational policies than state institutions because
“The resulting pluralism within the academic world . . . may provide
more tolerance for diverse and unpopular views than a rule that would
subject all universities to the commitment to diversity of thought that
the first amendment imposes on public ones” [“A Functional
Analysis,” 268-69].)
4.2 Anti-d
ogmatism
Academic freedom is gr
ounded in the Enlightenment’s opposition to
dogmatism; it presupposes that truth is discovered not through
revelation but rationally, through the “clash of competitive ideas.” “But
this idea, too, must be subject to testing.” (McConnell, “Academic
Freedom,” 313.) Historically, the most thorough challenge to narrowly
rationalist methodologies has come from religion. Religion offers
venerable alternative theories of knowledge by presupposing that
truth is eternal, that it is only partly knowable through reason alone,
and that human reason must be tested against divine revelation.
President J. Reuben Clark, Jr., stated that one “cannot rationalize the
things of the spirit, because first, the things of the spirit are not
sufficiently known and comprehended, and secondly, because finite
mind and reason cannot comprehend nor explain infinite wisdom and
ultimate truth.” (J. Reuben Clark, Jr., “The Charted Course of the
Church in Education,” in MESSAGES OF THE FIRST PRESIDENCY,
ed. James R. Clark [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1975], 6:49.) It is simply
inconsistent with the anti-dogmatic principles of academic freedom
not to permit its own premises about knowledge to be tested against
such claims as these. “It is important that a principle born of opposition
to dogmatism not itself become dogmatic and authoritarian.”
(McConnell, “Academic Freedom,” 314.)
4.3 Religious F
reedom
Religiously dis
tinctive colleges and universities are “an important
means by which religious faiths can preserve and transmit their
teachings from one generation to the next, particularly
nonmainstream religions whose differences from the predominant
academic culture are so substantial that they risk annihilation if they
cannot retain a degree of separation.” (McConnell, “Academic
Freedom,” 316.) This right to religious freedom should “override
whatever exiguous benefit to society might be achieved by forcing
religiously distinctive institutions to conform to secular academic
freedom.” (McConnell, “Academic Freedom,” 316.)
5. ABUSES OF INSTITUTIONAL
FREEDOM
Institutional academic freedom, important for ANY college or
university, is indispensable for institutions with distinct religious
missions. Nevertheless, institutional freedom is a prerogative that, if
regarded as absolute, would invite abuse. Therefore, academic
freedom must include not only the institution’s freedom to claim a
religious identity but also the individual’s freedom to ask genuine,
even difficult questions. Learning can be unsettling.
There is no such thing as risk-free genuine education, just as
according to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints theology
there is no risk-free earthly experience. At any religious university,
including at BYU–Hawaii, there always will be the possibility of
friction between individual and institutional academic freedom.
There is no way to eliminate these tensions altogether, except by
el
iminating the claims of one kind of freedom or the other. But to do so
would result in a net loss to the Church, the University, and to the
family of universities to which BYU–Hawaii belongs. To eliminate
BYU–Hawaii’s right to define and preserve its institutional identity
12
would threaten to transform BYU–Hawaii into a university like any
other. At the same time, to override the very concept of individual
academic freedom would threaten the vitality of BYU–Hawaii as a
university. Either move would lessen the value of BYU–Hawaii to its
faculty and students, to the Church, and to the academic community at
large. Therefore, the task is to establish principles and procedures that
help minimize conflict and that guide the Board of Trustees, faculty,
and administration though differences that may arise.
6. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
6.1 Neither Freedom is Unlimited
Neither individual nor institutional academic freedom can be
u
nlimited. The reasons for this have been suggested already. To
elaborate:
6.2 L
imits on Individual Academic Freedom
There c
an be no unlimited individual academic freedom. Were there no
constraints on individual academic freedom, religious universities could
converge toward a secular model and lose their distinctive character, thus
diminishing pluralism in academia. Furthermore, absolute individual
freedom would place the individual faculty member effectively in
charge of defining institutional purpose, thereby infringing on
prerogatives that traditionally belong to boards, administrations, and
faculty councils. Such arrogation of authority is particularly intolerable
when the disagreement concerns Church doctrine, on which BYU–
Hawaii’s Board of Trustees claims the right to convey prophetic
counsel. Yet even secular universities, whose boards claim no special
religious authority, do not empower individual faculty members with
absolute individual freedom relative to the University mission. For
example, universities have censured professors for racist, anti-
Semitic, or otherwise offensive expression. In addition, state
universities have prohibited the advocacy of religious values to
protect a separation of church and state. Every university places some
limitations on individual academic freedom. (As George S. Worgul,
Jr.,states in the “Editor’s Preface” to ISSUES IN ACADEMIC
FREEDOM [Pittsburgh: Duquesne Unit Press, 1992]: “`academic
freedom’ at any university–whether public, private, church-related
or church-sponsored – is never unlimited or absolute. Every
university has an identity and mission to which it must adhere. . .
Freedom is always a situated freedom and a responsible freedom”
[viii-ix].)
6.3 L
imits on Institutional Academic Freedom
Neither can there be unlimited institutional academic freedom. If
i
nstitutional freedom were limitless, BYU–Hawaii could cease to be a
genuine university, devoid of the exploratory environment vital to
intellectual endeavor and with little room for disagreement and
questioning. At BYU–Hawaii, the Church enjoys a special, deeply
appreciated relation to the University, but its relation is not simply
that of employer to employee – for a university faculty constitutes a
special kind of employee. While each faculty member is fully
accountable to the University, he or she also works in a space that is
open to inquiry, discovery, and discussion. Any limitations in this
space must be narrowly drawn so as not to impede the robust
interchange of ideas, because the Board and administration wish to set
policy for an institution that legitimately may be called a university.
6.4 Reasonable Limitations
It f
ollows that the exercise of individual and institutional academic
freedom must be a matter of reasonable limitations. In general, at
BYU–Hawaii a limitation is reasonable when the faculty behavior or
expression SERIOUSLY AND ADVERSELY affects the University mission
or the Church. (This document does not address policies, common to all
universities that govern the orderly maintenance of the institution, the
disruption of classes, or the university endorsement of personal
actions. This document speaks only to limitations arising from BYU–
Hawaii’s mission.) Examples would include expression with students
or in public that:
• C
ontradicts or opposes, rather than analyzes or discusses,
fundamental Church doctrine or policy;
• Deliberately attacks or derides the Church or its general
leaders; or
• Violates the Honor Code because the expression is dishonest,
illegal, unchaste, profane, or unduly disrespectful of others.
Reasonable limits are based on careful consideration of what lies at the
he
art of the interests of the Church and the mission of the University.
A faculty member shall not be found in violation of the academic
freedom standards unless the faculty member can fairly be considered
aware that the expression violates the standards.
These principles shall be i
nterpreted and applied with persuasion,
gentleness, meekness, kindness, and love unfeigned – in the spirit of D&C
121:41-44 – and through established procedures that include faculty
review. The ultimate responsibility to determine harm to the University
mission or the Church, however, remains vested in the University’s
governing bodies – including the University President and central
administration and, finally, the Board of Trustees.
6.5 Sy
nthesis
Reasonable limitations mediate the c
ompeting claims of individual and
institutional academic freedom. In practice, instances in which limitations
are invoked against individual faculty conduct or expression are few
and infrequent. This is because:
6.6 I
ndividual Academic Freedom is Presumptive, while
Institutional Interventional Intervention is Exceptional
Individual freedom of expression is broad, presumptive, and
e
ssentially unrestrained except for matters that seriously and
adversely affect the University mission or the Church. By contrast,
institutional intervention is exceptional and limited to cases the
University’s governing bodies deem to offer compelling threats to
BYU–Hawaii’s mission or the Church. The Board and administration
most effectively exercise their freedom to preserve BYU–Hawaii’s
institutional identity by setting general policies.
6.7 U
niversity Posture is One of Trust
The f
aculty is entrusted with broad individual academic freedom to
pursue truth according to the methodologies and assumptions that
characterize scholarship in various disciplines. This trust necessarily
encompasses the freedom to discuss and advocate controversial and
unpopular ideas. However, the Board and administration reserve the
right to designate, in exceptional cases, restrictions upon expression and
behavior that, in their judgment, seriously and adversely affect BYU–
Hawaii’s mission or the Church.
13
6.8 Faculty Posture is One of Loyalty
Faculty members, fo
r their part, agree to be loyal university citizens.
It is expected that the faculty will strive to contribute to the unique
mission of BYU–Hawaii. This expectation, which aims at the
fulfillment of University aspirations rather than merely at the absence
of serious harm, properly figures in advancement and continuing
status decisions.
6.9 T
one of the BYU–Hawaii Community is Charitable
The f
aculty, administration, and the Board should work together in a
spirit of love, trust, and goodwill. The faculty rightly assumes its work
is presumptively free from restraint, but at the same time it assumes an
obligation of dealing with sensitive issues sensitively and with a
civility that becomes believers. BYU–Hawaii rightly expects the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints faculty to be faithful to, and
other faculty to be respectful of, the Church and BYU–Hawaii’s
mission. Thus both the University’s governing bodies and the faculty
obligate themselves to use their respective academic freedom
responsibly, within the context of a commitment to the gospel. As
Elder B. H. Roberts said, “In essentials let there be unity; in non-
essentials, liberty; and in all things, charity.” (Conference Reports, Oct.
1912, 30. The source of Roberts’s citation is the Latin maxim, “IN
NECESSARIIS UNITAS, IN NON-NECESSARIIS [or, DUBIIS]
LIBERTAS, IN UTRISQUE [or, OMNIBUS] CARITAS” [see Philip
Schaff, HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, 2nd ed. (New York:
Scribners, 1915), 6:650-53].)
CONCLUSION
It is the intent of Brigham Young University–Hawaii to reaffirm hereby
its identity as a unique kind of university – the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints university. BYU–Hawaii intends to nourish a
community of believing scholars, where students and teachers, guided
by the gospel, freely join together to seek truth in charity and virtue.
For those who embrace the gospel, BYU–Hawaii offers a far richer and
more complete kind of academic freedom than is possible in secular
universities because to seek knowledge in the light of revealed truth is,
for believers, to be free indeed.
Applicability: This policy applies to all university faculty.

pplicant who is currently excommunicated or disfellowshipped
from, on probation with, or voluntarily disaffiliated from The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is generally inadmissible until
reinstated to full fellowship. Students, who withdrew on Grade
Warning or Probation more than five years prior to reapplying, may be
admitted at the discretion of the Admissions Exceptions Committee.
Students on academic status who have been away for five years or less
are generally admitted on the same status provided they have received
a clear ecclesiastical endorsement.
Important Notice: When admission has been offered to the maximum
n
umber of students to achieve approved enrollment goals, the
Admissions Office will only consider applications for the next possible
semester or term. The President and the Admissions Exceptions
Committee reserve the right to make exceptions to admission policy
and guidelines as deemed appropriate.
Second Degree
In keeping with its mission to educate as many students as possible,
BYU–Hawaii does not admit students for a second bachelor’s degree.
Enriched Environment Statement
“The Mission of BYU–Hawaii - founded, supported, and guided by The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints— is to assist individuals
in their quest for perfection and eternal life. That assistance should
provide a period of intensive learning in a stimulating setting where a
commitment to excellence is expected and the full realization of human
potential is pursued.”
To this end, the un
iversity seeks qualified students of various
geographic, educational, cultural, ethnic, and racial backgrounds and
talents, who relate together in such a manner that they are “no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of
the household of God.” It is the university’s judgment that providing
educational opportunities for a mix of students who share values
based on the gospel of Jesus Christ and come from a variety of
backgrounds and experiences is an important educational asset to
BYU–Hawaii.
Entrance Exam
See Required Tests Section.
Other Considerations for Admission
The Admissions Committee also considers applicants with special
t
alent, exceptional creativity, or other unusual preparation for
university study not otherwise revealed in standard admission data. In
evaluating these criteria, the Admissions Committee relies on
scholarship recommendations from a BYU–Hawaii department as a
demonstration of the required talent, creativity, or unusual
preparation. The Admissions Committee also uses Parts 6 and 7
(activities and essays) and Part 4 (seminary/institute recommendation)
14
of the application in making an evaluation. The committee may also
consider such factors as mission, military service, career choices, and
personal circumstances.
Full Disclosure
Failure to disclose and submit all documents required for admission,
including transcripts from each institution in which the applicant has
or is currently enrolled, or any falsification of information required for
admission consideration may result in disallowance of transfer credits,
immediate suspension and/or loss of all credit earned at BYU–Hawaii.
Priority and International Student Deadline
All application materials must be received by the CES Admissions Office
on or before the deadline for the semester for which the applicant is
seeking admission. Applicants who submit any portion of their
application after the deadline for the semester for which they are
applying, may be considered, however your application will be
marked “Late.”
Application Deadline

Notification of Admissions Decision
All applicants will receive official written notification from the BYU–
Hawaii Admissions Office or from the Church Educational System
(apply.churchofjesuschrist.org) website. Any other notification, either
verbal or written, will not be considered valid. A letter of acceptance is
valid only for the semester indicated. Admitted students wishing to be
considered for a later enrollment period must notify the Admissions
Office to cancel their admittance, and reapply for a later semester or
term. Detailed instructions on how to reapply are available at
apply.churchofjesuschrist.org.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Seminary
Prospective students are expected to participate in The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints Seminary during each year of high school.
BYU–Hawaii is committed to the concept that thoughtful and
consistent study of the scriptures is vital to the preparation of those
desiring to enter the university. Graduation from seminary (released
time, early morning or home study) is an expectation and gives
priority in the admission process. Exceptions will be considered in
unusual circumstances such as for a recent convert who joined the
Church during his or her high school career.
U.S. Applicants
High School Preparation
Students are encouraged to complete high school courses from the
following list of college-preparation courses. Of particular importance
are English and Mathematics. Writing and math skills are basic for
critical thinking. Completing courses on the list may assist in
preparing students for university study.
• Four years of English
• Three years of mathematics (two or three years beyond
algebra 1)
• Three years of science
• Four years of social studies
• Two or more years of foreign language (advanced skill in one
language is preferred)
Courses such as computer science, the arts (music, drama, painting,
etc.), and other worthwhile choices may prove beneficial for students.
Students should consider taking classes with substantial content that
challenge them. In today’s world computer skills are valuable assets.
These skills should be learned in high school or independently. BYU–
Hawaii offers courses online to help students who do not meet
admissions standards.
High School Graduation
Applicants should be graduates of fully accredited high schools. Those
who complete their secondary education through the General
Education Development Test (GED), home study, home school, or other
programs will be reviewed individually by the Admissions Committee
to determine admissibility.
GED
The GED in most states consists of five sections: Language Arts-
Writing, Language Arts-Reading, Social Studies, Science and
Mathematics.
The possible scores on each individual exam range from 200 (lowest) to
800 (highest). In most states, including Hawaii, students need a total
minimum score of 2010 with an average score of 450 points on all 5
tests. No score on any one test can be less than 410 points.
For admissions consideration, a GED from a US student must also be
accompanied with an ACT or SAT test score. BYU–Hawaii generally
requires an ACT score of 24+ for domestic students.
Early Admit
High school students who would like to be considered for
admission to BYU–Hawaii before receiving a high school
diploma must:
• Have a cumulative high school grade point average of 3.6
(B+) or higher on all work to date.
• Submit a letter of unconditional recommendation for early
admission from their high school counselor or principal. The
counselor or principal must also state that the student is
academically prepared and has the emotional and social
maturity to benefit from attendance at BYU–Hawaii.
• Submit a letter of unconditional recommendation for early
admission from the applicant’s parent or guardian.
• Complete all application requirements (see application
procedures for freshman applicants), including fee of $35.
• ACT score of 24 or SAT of 1090 or higher.
Application deadline dates for early admission are the same as for new
freshman applicants.
15
Home School Applicants
Applicants who have been home schooled in lieu of attending a high
school environment must receive a composite ACT score of 24 or
higher, or SAT of 1090 or higher to be competitive for admission
consideration. These individuals must also complete all other
application requirements for freshman applicants.
Advanced Placement (AP) Credits or
International Baccalaureate (IB) Test Scores
Students who completed Advanced Placement courses in high school
and scored a composite grade of 3, 4 or 5 on any subject test may
receive up to eight semester hours of credit in each subject. Likewise,
students who complete International Baccalaureate tests may receive
college credit for their work, following the matrix available on the
Admissions website. Because both examinations test knowledge
gained in High School, be aware that if students have both an AP and
an IB examination for the same subject that they will be awarded the
highest credit possible of the different measures, but they will not
receive college credit for both test scores.
Concurrent Enrollment at BYU–Hawaii
High school students who would like to be considered for admission
to BYU–Hawaii as part-time students while still enrolled in high school
must:
• Have a cumulative high school grade point average of 3.6 or
higher on all work to date.
• Submit a BYU–Hawaii concurrent enrollment voucher
signed by the applicant, the parent, and a high school
counselor.
• Have completed at least the junior year of high school.
• Complete parts 1, 2, and 3 of the admission application.
• Pay the non-refundable application fee of $35.
Concurrent Credit Transfer Policy
Many students are now receiving enriched academic experiences by
enrolling concurrently in college courses while completing their high
school curricula. BYU–Hawaii will consider these students for
freshman admission and scholarships provided they complete no
more than 29 semester/44 quarter hours of concurrent work before
enrollment at BYU–Hawaii.
Students admitted to BYU–H
awaii who, before enrollment, complete
30 semester/45 quarter hours of concurrent course work or who enroll
at a college or university other than BYU–Hawaii following high
school graduation will be designated as transfer students. Their
admission and scholarship status will be evaluated based on BYU–
Hawaii’s transfer student criteria. Such evaluation may result in the
withdrawal of a previously awarded freshman scholarship.
College credit received fo
r successfully completed AP examinations,
IB examinations, or concurrent work taken at BYU–Hawaii is excluded
from the 29 semester/44 quarter hours limit. Because the
examinations test knowledge gained in High School, be aware that if
students have an AP and an IB examination for the same subject that
they will be awarded the highest credit possible of the different
measures, but they will not receive college credit for both test scores.
International Applicants
BYU–Hawaii encourages international students to begin the
application process well in advance of the deadlines. Once admitted,
the required $500 International Processing Fee must be received before
the I-20/DS-2019 will be issued. Transfer students are strongly
encouraged to apply. Applicants should submit detailed written
descriptions in English for all course work completed prior to
attending BYU–Hawaii with their application. This information, in
addition to official college or university transcripts, will help BYU–
Hawaii staff to determine the number of credits transferred and the
length of the course of study at the university. Official transcripts not
in English should be accompanied by certified English translations.
International students may transfer to BYU–Hawaii from a U.S. college
or university if they hold a valid F-1 visa and have maintained their
student status during their prior enrollment.
VISA Policies
BYU–Hawaii is a sponsoring institution for both the Student Visa (F
visa) and the Exchange Visitor Visa (J visa). New admitted self-
funding international students are sent the (Form I-20) to obtain a F-
1 or F-2 visa. New admitted sponsored international students are
sent the (Form DS-2019) to obtain a J-1 or J-2 visa. Students make an
appointment with the nearest US Embassy or Consulate and pay a
fee to obtain their visa. Upon arrival in the US, students present the
(Form I-20) or (Form DS-2019) along with a valid passport and valid
visa to an immigration officer with U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP). Once in the US, students must maintain their visa
status by adhering to the strict regulations governing their visa
program. Questions concerning non-immigrant student and
exchange visitor visas should be referred to International Student
Services.
Transfer Students
Information pertaining to transfer students can be found at
https://admissions.byuh.edu/transfer_evaluation

at the time of application are required to take the ACT or SAT, a
national standardized entrance exams. Students are encouraged to
take the test during the last semester of their junior year in high
school. The test should be taken early enough for the results to be
received by the Admissions Office before the deadline for the semester
in which a student intends to enroll. Test results arrive at the
university approximately four weeks after the test is given.
English Proficiency Test
Applicants from any non-U.S.-patterned international schools must
have their results from the TOEFL or IELTS reach the Admissions
Office before the application deadline. The TOEFL (Test of English as a
Foreign Language) and IELTS (International English Language Testing
System) are the preferred tests of English language proficiency. For
more information about these tests contact: TOEFL@collegeboard.com.

Church Education System
Honor Code
Honor Code Office, ACR 166, (808) 675-3493
Brigham You
ng University, Brigham Young University–Hawaii,
Brigham Young University-Idaho, and LDS Business College (LDSBC)
exist to provide an education in an atmosphere consistent with the
ideals and principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
That atmosphere is created and preserved through commitment to
conduct that reflects those ideals and principles. Members of the
faculty, administration, staff, and student body at BYU, BYU–Hawaii,
BYU–Idaho, and LDSBC are selected and retained from among those
who voluntarily live the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Observance of such is a specific condition of employment and
admission.
Those individuals who are not mem
bers of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints are also expected to maintain the same standards of
conduct, except church attendance. All who represent BYU, BYU–
Hawaii, BYU-Idaho, and LDSBC are to maintain the highest standards
of honor, integrity, morality, and consideration of others in personal
behavior. By accepting appointment on the faculty, continuing in
employment, or continuing class enrollment, individuals evidence
their commitment to observe the Honor Code standards approved by the
Board of Trustees “at all times and ... in all places” (Mosiah 18:9).
Honor Code Statement
“We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in
doing good to all men. ........................... If there is anything virtuous,
lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.”
(Thirteenth Article of Faith)
As a matter of personal commitment, faculty, administration, staff, and
stud
ents of Brigham Young University, Brigham Young University–
Hawaii, Brigham Young University-Idaho, and LDS Business College
seek to demonstrate in daily living on and off campus those moral
virtues encompassed in the gospel of Jesus Christ, and will:
• Be honest
• L
ive a chaste and virtuous life
• Obey the law and all campus polic
ies
• Use clean language
• Respect others
• Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, and
substance abuse
• Participate regularly in church services
• Observe the Dress and Grooming Standards
• Encourage others in their commitment to comply with the
Honor Code
Specific policies embodied
in the Honor Code include the BYU–
Hawaii (1) Academic Honesty Policy, (2) Dress and Grooming
Standards, (3) Residential Living Standards, and (4) Continuing
Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement. You can also learn more about the
BYU–Hawaii Honor Code Statement at https://
honorcode.byuh.edu/.
Academic Honesty Policy
The first injunction of the BYU–Hawaii Honor Code is the call to “be
honest.” Students come to the university not only to improve their
minds, gain knowledge, and develop skills that will assist them in their
life’s work, but also to build character. “President David O. McKay
taught that character is the highest aim of education” (The Aims of a
BYU–Hawaii Education, p. 6). It is the purpose of the BYU–Hawaii
Academic Honesty Policy to assist in fulfilling that aim.
BYU–Hawaii students should seek to be totally honest in their dealings
with others. They should complete their own work and be evaluated
based upon that work. They should avoid academic dishonesty and
misconduct in all its forms, including but not limited to plagiarism,
fabrication or falsification, cheating, and other academic misconduct.

https://honorcode.byuh.edu/content/academic-
honesty
Dress and Grooming Standards
The dress and grooming of both men and women should always be
modest, neat, and clean, and consistent with the dignity adherent to
representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints and any
of its institutions of higher education.
Modesty and c
leanliness are important values that reflect personal
17
18
dignity and integrity, through which students, staff, and faculty
represent the principles and standards of the Church. Members of the
BYU, BYU–Hawaii, BYU-Idaho, and LDSBC communities commit
themselves to observe these standards, which reflect the direction
given by the Board of Trustees and in the Church publication, “For
the Strength of Youth.” These guiding principles apply at all CES
institutions of higher education. The application of these principles
may vary slightly at the various institutions in accordance with local
conditions and circumstances.
Learn more at https://honorcode.byuh.edu/content/dressing-
grooming.
Residential Living Standards
BYU–Hawaii is committed to providing a learning atmosphere consistent
with the principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Members of the BYU–Hawaii community should likewise commit
themselves to creating such an atmosphere for students residing in
approved student housing on campus and BYU–Hawaii off-campus
contract housing. To achieve this distinctive ambiance, BYU–Hawaii has
established living standards to help students learn some of the high ideals
and principles of behavior expected at the university. These standards
limit visiting privileges and hours and encourage clean, orderly,
respectful, moral and dignified conduct.
Learn more at https://honorcode.byuh.edu/content/living-standard.
Non-academic Discipline
Students who are found guilty of violating university standards,
policies, and/or rules and regulations will be subject to nonacademic
discipline. This may include one or more of the following: fines,
community service, loss of privileges, nonacademic probation for a
specified period of time, being counseled out (voluntary withdrawal),
suspension (involuntary withdrawal for a specified period of time),
or dismissal (permanent, involuntary withdrawal).
Students who are counseled out, suspended, or leave the university
with unresolved non-academic problems will be encumbered and
notices of the encumbrances sent to all the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints church schools. They will be required to obtain
clearance from the BYU–Hawaii University Office of Honor before
they can be considered for readmission. Expelled students will have
the expulsion noted on their permanent record files and notices of their
expulsion sent to all the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
church schools.
Students placed in one of the above categories have the right for an
Honor Code Administrative Review. (For more details go to
http://honorcode.byuh.edu/.) Generally, the university will follow
procedures outlined in the Administrative Review policy. However,
any departure from these procedures will not act to invalidate the
decisions made by the university, provided the procedures followed
were fundamentally fair, given the facts and circumstances of the case.
The Administrative Review Process is under the direction of the
Student Life Vice-President. The Office of General Counsel may advise
university personnel involved in the Administrative Review anytime
during the process as to matters of university policy and procedure
relevant to the deliberations. No review decision contrary to, or as an
exception to, university policy will be implemented without the
written approval of the Student Life Vice-President.
The student applying for an Honor Code Administrative Review will
not be restricted in or excluded from class attendance or participation
in any university functions and activities during the review process
unless the university determines that such attendance and/or
participation is likely to be disruptive or pose a substantial threat to the
well-being or personal safety of the student or others. In those cases, the
Dean of Students Office will advise the student of any restrictions
and/or exclusions, pending the outcome of the review.
A student may, at any time during the review process, request
permission to voluntarily withdraw from the university. Generally,
such a request can be granted if there has been no violation of the law
and such action would not compromise the integrity of the university.
If the Dean of Students approves the request, he or she will
discontinue the review process and allow the student to withdraw
without any official action being taken or noted on the student’s
official university records.
Requesting a Review
The student may request a review of the Office of Honor or
university decision if the student (1) claims innocence, (2) claims the
decision was unreasonable based upon substantiated facts, (3) claims
that mitigating facts and circumstances were not fairly considered in
making the decision, and/or (4) claims the university did not follow its
procedures and as a result reached an unfair decision.
In order for students who have been on academic or non- academic
suspension to be readmitted, they must follow the steps listed under
admissions for returning students. BYU–Hawaii complies with and
fully supports the federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of
1989.
Continuing Student Ecclesiastical
Endorsement
All enrolled, continuing students are required each year to obtain a
Continuing Student Ecclesiastical Endorsement from their winter
semester ecclesiastical leader of their assigned ward. To assure they are
regularly attending meetings and doing their duty in the Church, LDS
students must be endorsed by the bishops of their wards of residence
during winter semester. A bishop should not endorse students who do
not reside in his ward winter semester. Non-LDS students can obtain
their Continuing Student Ecclesiastical Endorsements from their local
ecclesiastical leaders or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
bishop within whose wards they reside during winter semester. The
endorsement form can now be downloaded at the Honor Code website
at http://honorcode.byuh.edu/content/endorsement.
Students wanting to pre-register for fall semester must be endorsed by
their bishop during winter semester before March 1 (priority deadline).

Registration
Registration Office, LSB 1st Floor, (808) 675-3736
http://registrar.byuh.edu/
Eligibility
All incoming students who have received a letter of acceptance from
the admissions office and students who were enrolled as regular or
part-time students during the previous semester have the ability to
process their registration online through the BYU–Hawaii website (See
academic calendar in this catalog or on the website). Prior to
registration, students must be free from any registration restrictions.
Credit Hour Definition
BYU–Hawaii defines a credit hour as fifteen hours of classroom or
direct faculty instruction and a minimum of 30 hours out-of-class
student work each semester, or the equivalent amount of work over a
different length of time.
At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of
this definition for other academic activities as established by the
institution including laboratory work, internships, practical, studio
work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours.
Classification of Students
Students are classified for registration in degree-granting programs
and for other academic purposes as follows:
Credit hours earned Classification
0-29 Freshman
30-59 Sophomore
60-89 Junior
90 and over Senior
Full-time undergraduate students must take 12 or more credits for
Fall/Winter semesters and 8 credits for Spring.
Registration Procedure
Registration is based on a priority system that allows students to begin
registration according to their class standing or number of completed
hours. Priority begins with seniors who have applied to graduate, then
seniors and EIL students, then juniors, then sophomores, and then
freshmen. Those students who are enrolled in Educational Outreach
may register 30 days prior to the beginning of the semester. Students
may go to their Student Center to check for their assigned enrollment
date.
Attendance in classes without official registration is not permitted and
will result in forfeiture of any right or credit in that class by later
examination. A student is not considered registered unless all phases
of admissions and registration involved have been satisfactorily
accomplished.
Every student attending classes at BYU–Hawaii must register and pay
tuition. Students will register within their Student Center under the
Academics and then Enroll tabs. For more information on how to
register go to
https://advisors.byuh.edu/sites/advisors.byuh.edu/files/How%20to
%20Register%20Online%20June%202018.pdf. Upon registration online,
students may print a listing of their class schedule and tuition charge.
Registration is finalized by payment of tuition. New international
non-native English speakers will be registered by Academic Advisors
on campus after completion of placement testing. Students must
finalize all loans, scholarships, awards, etc., at the Financial Aid Office.
MMR/Health Restrictions must be cleared prior to registration.
Changes in Registration (Add/Drop)
Changes in registration may be made without charge through the first
three school days. To minimize changes in registration, students should
exercise great care in planning their schedules and should register early
for classes.
When a change in registration becomes necessary, students may continue
to use the computer registration system to drop classes and to add classes
that are not closed through the third day of classes without instructor’s
or academic advisor’s signatures.
The only way to add a closed class during the Add/Drop period is
for a student to obtain the instructor’s permission, indicated by a
signature on the add/drop form and submit it to their academic
advisor or the Registrar’s Office for processing by the third day of the
semester.
After the computer add/drop system closes the Add/Drop period is
over. During the one week Exceptions Period (the 7 days after the
Add/Drop period is over), classes may be added by permission of the
faculty as indicated on the add/drop form which should be turned
into the academic advisor or the Registrar’s Office. Classes may be
dropped until the Withdraw period begins. A $10 fee will be charged
for each class dropped after the first three days of school, including
second session (block) classes. Adding a class after the Exceptions
Period requires an appeal to the Academic Exceptions Committee.
It is the student’s responsibility to drop a class, withdraw from a class
after the drop period is finished, or discontinue from the university
to avoid receiving an F on his/her academic record for not completing
the class requirements. Classes will not be dropped for lack of
payment. Students should be sure to discontinue if they do not attend
to avoid receiving an F for a class that they did not attend.
Registering for Courses with P and NP Grades
P is used to indicate the successful completion of a course taken on the
pass/not-pass option. This option is available to students at the
university as a means of encouraging study outside the chosen major
and is limited to one course per semester. An elective course, a course
for which credit is received by examination, and any course specifically
designated may utilize the pass/not-pass option. Classes in the
student’s major (with some exceptions), religion, general education
core, or EIL classes may not be taken with this option. Students electing
this option will be given the P grade if their work in the course is rated as
equivalent to C or better. If the work is not rated at this level, NP will
appear on the permanent record. The P and NP are not included in the
computation of the grade point average. Students who desire to
register for courses with the Pass/Not Pass option may do so by
submitting a request on an add form with the proper approval to the
Registrar’s Office. Some classes do not allow P/NP and will, therefore not
accept a P/NP designation. Pass/Not Pass option is available up to the
third day of the semester. Courses taken as Pass/Not Pass are not
included in the computation of grade point average for Honor Roll
distinction.
20
Course Numbering System
Courses are numbered according to the following system:
• Below 100: Pre-college level courses
• 100 and 200: Courses primarily for freshmen and sophomores
• 300 and 400: Courses primarily for juniors and seniors
Students will be best served if they closely follow this schedule.
Modes of Instruction
BYU–Hawaii has the following modes of instruction:
In Person (Sec. 1, 2, 3) Classes with a scheduled time and classroom
Hybrid (Sec. 100) Classes with blended in-class and online instruction
On-campus online (Sec. 200) Classes without a classroom and time, but
with an on-campus component, like tests in the Testing Center
Online-only Classes without any on-campus component
Please note that section numbers of a given course may also contain
additional information. For example,
• Section 0-99 indicate a face-to-face on-campus instruction
mode
• Section 100-199 indicates a hybrid mode of instruction,
meaning a combination of face-to-face and online instruction
• Section 200-299 indicates an on-campus online (all courses
would have a required on-campus component)
• Section 300-399 indicates online-only instruction
Withdrawal from a Class
Any student withdrawing from individual classes after the drop
period and during the withdrawal period (see the academic calendar
for deadlines) must contact the instructor of the class with the
appropriate form and complete the withdrawal procedure. No
withdrawals are permitted after the established deadline. Based on the
student’s academic performance to that date, the professor will assign
either a W (passing at the time of withdrawal) or WF (failing at the
time of withdrawal). A student who does not withdraw properly will
receive an F grade. The WF is also calculated as a failing grade and
may affect a student’s academic standing.
Repeated Classes
BYU–Hawaii Classes: Students may repeat as many classes as they
choose as long as they are able to complete all graduation requirements
within the allotted time. It is important to recognize that the most recent
grade will replace the previous grade, whether it is higher or lower.
Transfer Credit: In order for a transfer grade to be replaced, the student
must repeat that course at the institution where the original course was
taken and then transfer the credit to BYU–Hawaii.
A course repeated at an institution other than the one at which it was
taken originally and other than at BYU–Hawaii will not be counted as
a repeat. When a class has been repeated, the most recent grade and
credit hours will be used in computing the grade point average.
If a class taken at a different institution is repeated at BYU–Hawaii the
transfer record of the previous class will be adjusted to show it as an
elective class. This will allow the student to receive credit for the
previous class, but avoid problems with the calculations of repeated
classes. If a class taken from BYU–Hawaii Distance Learning is
repeated once the student is matriculated at BYU–Hawaii then the class
will be treated as a repeat of a BYU–Hawaii class and the most recent
grade will replace the previous grade, whether it is higher or lower.
Classes Taken by Audit
Students who wish to audit a class (take a course without receiving
any credit for it) may register or add the class on the first day of the
semester by submitting an add/drop form signed by the instructor to
the registrar’s office after the semester has begun. The add/drop form
must indicate the student’s desire to take it as an audit. These classes
will appear as a “V” on the student’s transcript and do not affect a
student’s grade point average. Students must be officially enrolled to
be eligible to attend classes. (The charge for auditing classes is the
same as for credit classes.)
Final Exam Schedule
Final exams are to be offered on the specific day and time as
determined by the official final exam schedule. Students must plan
travel, family visits, etc., in a way that will not interfere with their final
exams. Less expensive air fares, more convenient travel arrangements,
family events or activities, and any other non-emergency reasons are
not considered justification for early or late final exams.
Exceptions to this policy should be submitted in writing to the Dean of
the faculty as soon as possible.
Semester Credit Overload Policy
An undergraduate student in good academic standing may register for
as many as 18 hours of credit in fall or winter semester or 12 hours in
spring semester by following the regular registration procedure. Credit
hours taken in excess of 18 for fall and winter or 12 for spring are
considered credit overload. All credit overloads require the permission
and signature (on an add/drop form) of the student’s major program
Dean.
Course Fees
See Tuition and Fees section
Discontinue from the University (Complete
Withdrawal)
Discontinuing from the university consists of withdrawing from ALL
classes in a semester. It is recommended that students counsel with
instructors, academic advisors, financial aid counselors, international
student counselors (for international students), or members of the
Counseling Center before making the decision to discontinue. Students
discontinuing their entire registration at the university are able to
apply for discontinuance through the Request Discontinuance page in
Student Self Service in the mybyuh application. Prior to requesting a
discontinuance, students must check with the housing office
regarding contractual obligations and the consequences that may occur
by submitting a discontinuance.
Students with no registration who leave school with no notification to
the university will automatically be discontinued that semester. Any
student discontinued will be required to reapply for admission.
All students leaving for an extended period, no matter the reason,
should discontinue enrollment and then reapply for admission.
21
For financial information, please see the sections under Discontinuance-
Tuition Charge/Refund under the Tuition and Fees page.
Student Leave of Absence (see Addendum on page 184)
Double-Dipping Rules
There are no double-dipping credit limits (Premise – if you
have done the coursework to earn a program, then it is
awarded.
You may not major and minor in the same subject. In addition,
if a minor is completely embedded within a major, this is not
allowed.
Double-dipping between the same major/minor and
certificates is allowed.
Time Allotment for
Campus Enrollment
(Approved by PC 11-18-2019)
BYU–Hawaii has a year-round Academic Calendar with fall, winter,
and spring semesters. Students are expected to attend all three
semesters and graduate within four years. Students may be permitted
to complete their degree beyond four years if the relevant
requirements are completed away from campus. (i.e., online courses at
the end of their studies). Furthermore, the four-year limit may be
extended to accommodate an internship for credit if the internship site
is located off-island in the student’s home country or elsewhere in the
non-U.S. Asia-Pacific region. All other internships must be completed
within the four years.
Within this allotment of four years, students must make progress
towards a degree in order to maintain their eligibility to graduate in
their desired major. Students who fail to make progress because of
repeated failures will still need to finish within four years, but they
may need to graduate with a different major or with an Associate’s
Degree.
Although students may elect to take elective courses or programs
beyond those required to complete the Holokai requirements,
participation in these additional courses or programs does not grant a
student any additional allotment of residency.
For students who test into intermediate-level English as an
International Language (EIL) classes, the four-year allotment does not
commence until the student completes two semesters of EIL or when
the student begins Academic I Level coursework (whichever comes
first).
Students enrolled in EIL courses who are not engaging in their studies
by attending class and doing their assignments or who cannot make
progress after repeating EIL core courses may be suspended for lack of
progress.
BYU–Hawaii students are expected to attend classes during all three
semesters each year. Requests for a leave of absence (LOA) during one
of the semesters must be approved by the university by the Dean of
Students. Note that special rules may apply for international students
because of immigration laws.
The time allotment for students with previous college credit will be
prorated based on the principle of a four-year total following
evaluation of credits accepted.
22
Internship Policy
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of internships is to increase students’ employability and
make it more feasible to return and serve in their home countries.
Additionally, an internship opportunity should advance program
outcomes.
2. POLICY
Internships prior to the end of the student’s studies at the university
must fit within the student’s enrollment time allotment. An internship
at the end of the student’s studies may extend beyond the time
allotment if the following criteria are all met:
1. The internship is registered as part-time (fewer than 12
credits fall or winter or fewer than 8 credits spring).
2. The internship is not classified as a reduced course load.
3. All other graduation requirements have been completed or
will be completed away from campus.
4. For international students, the internship is completed
outside the United States of America (U.S.).
3. IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 Eligibility
Students must have completed at least 60 credits total, as
well as at least 8 credits within the field of study. Individual
programs may apply additional requirements. In addition,
the student must be in good academic, financial, Title IX,
and honor code standing while preparing for, immediately
upon leaving, and during the full internship period. It is also
expected that students will attend an internship preparation
workshop to prepare to represent the university.
3.2 Credits
Internship credit is awarded based on the normal academic
standard of 45 hours/credit/semester. These hours may
include preparation, training, reflection, writing, completion
of the internship, and final presentation. Internship credit
awarded will reflect the actual work completed. This will be
pre-determined by the faculty coordinator and outlined in
the internship agreement between student and faculty.
All international students are required by law to be full-time
students during internship semesters completed during the
students’ allotment. This full-time status can be achieved
completely with internship hours or with a combination of
internship and other classes. If online classes are used to
reach full time status, at least 9 credits must be face-to-face
classes (including the internship) during fall or winter
semesters, and at least 6 credits must be face-to-face for
spring semester.
Domestic students are not required by law to be registered
full-time during internship semesters, although they must
understand that the normal student benefits associated with
full-time status will not be available if they register for fewer
than 12 total credits during fall or winter semesters or 8 total
credits during spring semester.
If an internship falls in the last semester within the student’s
allotment, they can qualify for a reduced course load by
meeting with their Academic Advisor. However, a reduced
course load will not be granted for any internship semesters
allowed beyond the student’s allotment (see above).
3.3 Tuition
Internship credits are charged at a one-half tuition rate. Any
other courses enrolled in during the same semester are
charged the full tuition rate.
3.4 Registration
Students will register within the semester in which the
internship begins. If the internship spans multiple semesters,
it will be registered in both semesters with credits awarded
proportional to the amount of work associated with each
semester. Summer internships will be registered for the
following fall semester for continuing students. Those
graduating at the end of a summer internship will be
registered in the previous spring semester. International
students may not do a U.S.-based summer internship at the
end of their studies due to immigration laws.
3.5 Employment and Benefits
For the details of employment rules and university benefits
connected with full-time registration, students should check
with the relevant department.
3.6 Application and Approval
Students apply for an internship through the Handshake
system (see the Ho’okele Office).
Approval is a three or four-step process involving the
following entities. Students should not assume approval
until all of the following steps are completed:
1. Academic appropriateness of the internship relative
to the student’s field of study is evaluated by the
relevant program internship coordinator, and the
internship agreement is created.
2. Financial, Title IX, and Honor Code standing is
evaluated by the Office of the Dean of Students.
3. International students must also receive approval
from International Student Services. Students should
be aware that additional eligibility requirements may
exist depending on the type of visa held.
4. Approval of academic, financial, and policy
eligibility is granted by the Ho’okele Office.
3.7 Funding
See the Ho’okele Office (Career and Alumni Services) for
possible funding opportunities.
23
Academic Standards
Academic Standing
The purpose of this policy is to detect early challenges that students
might be facing in regards to their grades and progress towards
graduation. By identifying students who are struggling, early
interventions can be identified and advice can be given that can help the
student be successful.
Grade Probation:
A student will be placed on grade probation if
they fall into any of the following categories:
• Student has attempted at least 24 credits and the Cumulative
GPA is below 2.0
• Student semester GPA is below 1.5 regardless of Cumulative
GPA or attempted credits
Students on Grade Probation are subject to the
following consequences and corrective
processes:
• Students are required to meet with the Center for Academic
Success to develop an academic plan and determine which
section of STDEV 101R course to take. Successful completion
of STDEV 101R is expected from all academic probation
students.
• Students who fail to meet with the Center will have a hold
placed on their registration.
The intent of this policy is to ensure that the student has the support
needed to improve their academic performance and to make progress
related to raising the Cumulative GPA and/or semester GPA above
2.0. Working with the Center for Academic Success is required. Failure
to progress will result in grade suspension the following semester.
Role of Faculty Member
Due to the short number of days between semesters, it is critical for
faculty to submit grades within the established time frame to give the
Registrar’s office twenty-four hours to notify students of grade
probation status.
Grade Suspension (Any Subsequent
Semester):
When a student has been placed on grade probation for one semester
and their semester GPA for the next semester and their cumulative
GPA falls below 2.0 they will be placed on Grade Suspension. Rather
than appealing to be able to return to school, a student is placed on
grade suspension in abeyance and are given one more semester in
which they can prove they can be successful. A student who is
granted grade suspension in abeyance must obtain a 2.0 GPA for
each semester that they attend or they will have to go home. There
are no longer any appeals for suspended students. A suspended
student cannot register for any classes on campus for twelve
continuous months. This includes but is not limited to registering for
Continuing Education classes, taking classes at a reduced load or for
audit and taking classes as a part-time or non-degree seeking
student.
A student will remain on grade suspension in abeyance until their
cumulative GPA gets above 2.0 and the committee feels they have
earned the right to remain in school.
D Grade Policy
Purpose:
The purpose of this policy is to clarify the university’s stand on D
grades.
Policy:
There is no D grade restriction for the university.
University academic standing and graduation standards are based on
GPA (2.0).
There is no D grade limit for completing minors or certificates.
Rules regarding D grades in the majors are determined by the faculty
units housing the major and approved by the University Curriculum
Council.
Grading and Records
The following letter grades are given at the university. The grade point
average may be computed by using the numeric values indicated.
A Exceptional achievement 4.00
A- 3.70
B+ 3.40
B Above average quality 3.00
B- 2
.70
C+ 2.40
C Acceptable work 2.00
C- 1.70
D+ 1.40
D Not fully satisfactory 1.00
D- 0.70
F Failing (no credit) 0.00
WF Withdraw Failing 0.00
Other marks are given as follows: I (Incomplete), NS (Grade Not
Submitted), P (Passing), NP (Not Passing), T (Course Work in
Progress), W (Withdrawn), and V (Audit).
The I Grade
The letter grade I (Incomplete) is to indicate that the required work for
a class has not been completed. Students do not reregister for a class
for which they have an Incomplete. An I is given only when extenuating
circumstances beyond the control of the student make it impossible to
complete the required work within the prescribed time. Arrangements
must be made between the instructor and the student prior to the end of
the semester.
An I Grade Form specifying the work to be completed and the deadline
for completion (up to a maximum of one year), prepared by the
instructor and approved by the appropriate dean of the faculty, must
be turned in to the Registrar’s Office no later than one week after
grades are due. The I is never given when a student is failing or has
failed a course.
24
A Grade Change Authorization form must be processed through the
Registrar’s Office on completion of the course work. The I is not
computed in the grade point average until one year has elapsed, at
which time it will be computed as an F (failing grade) if the course
requirements have not been completed.
The NS Grade
When a faculty member does not submit a final grade by the specified
deadline, the grade of “NS” will be posted by the Registrar’s office on
the student’s official record. NS means “grade was not submitted.” An
NS grade will not affect a student’s final grade or the grade point
average. However, the student will not earn any credit for the course as
long as the NS grade remains. The NS grade may affect scholarships,
financial aid, housing, graduation status and transcripts. Faculty
members have the responsibility to change the NS designation to the
proper final grade.
P and NP Grades
P is used to indicate the successful completion of a course taken on the
pass/not pass option. This option is available to students at the
university as a means of encouraging study outside the chosen major
and is limited to one course per semester or term. An elective course, a
course for which credit is received by examination, and any course
specifically designated may utilize the pass/not pass option. Classes in
the student’s major (with some exceptions), religion, general
education, or EIL classes may not be taken with this option. Students
electing this option will be given the P grade if their work in the course
is rated as equivalent to C or better. If the work is not rated at this
level, NP will appear on the permanent record. The P and NP are not
included in the computation of the grade point average.
The T Grade
A grade of T indicates course work in progress and is only used in 399R
and other internship courses in which work may extend beyond the
semester. The T grade may be changed to A, B, C, D, F, or P, depending
on the grade rule for the course, when the work is completed. A T grade
does not affect a student’s GPA until one year has elapsed, at which time
it is computed as an F (failing grade) if the course requirements have
not been completed.
W and WF
Students discontinuing a class officially during the add and drop period
will have no listing of the class entered on their permanent record.
Students withdrawing from a class during the 2nd to 5th week for fall
and winter and 2nd to 3rd week for spring, will not have a grade of W
appear on their permanent record. From the 6th week through the 9th
week for fall and winter and 4th through 5th week for spring, the
instructor is asked to give a report of the grade status (passing or failing)
at the time of the withdrawal. A grade of W will be entered on the
record of a student who is passing at the time of withdrawal and a WF
for those who are failing. The W is not used in computing the student’s
grade point average. The WF is counted as 0.00 grade points.
Be aware that for the purposes of calculating full-time status for
international students and for federal financial aid, a W or a WF in a
class will not count towards the total number of required credits.
International students may not withdraw from a class if it will put
them below 12 credits (full time) because they will be out of status. For
Federal Aid purposes W/WF grades do not count toward minimum
enrollment for eligibility but do count toward the percentage of
credits completed for Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.
International students who fail to maintain full time status (i.e.
maintaining registration in at least 12 credit hours per semester) are
considered out of status by the federal government and are subject to
removal (deportation) immediately. In certain situations international
students who are approved for Reduced Course Load, may drop
below 12 credit hours per semester and still maintain full time status.
Grade Reports
Grades are available to students via the Internet at the end of each
semester.
Dean’s List
The Dean’s List is composed of the top 5% of full-time students who
complete at least 15 credit hours during fall or winter semester or 9
during spring semester (excluding precollege level courses). Those
students who qualify for the Dean’s List receive a certificate in
recognition of their achievement from the Vice President of Academics.
Student Records Policy
Student educational records at BYU–Hawaii are generally accessible
to eligible students according to the provisions of The Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). BYU–Hawaii has
adopted an Access to Student Records Policy which explains in detail
student rights relating to their educational records. A copy of the policy
is available at the Registrar’s Office.
Please refer to the FERPA Guidelines in this catalog for a summary
notice of student rights to their educational records at BYU–Hawaii.
Credit Recognized by BYU–Hawaii
In addition to enrolling in courses at BYU–Hawaii, a student may earn
credit that will be recognized by the university in the following ways:
1.) Transfer credit from an accredited Independent Study program.
These programs include, but are not limited to, BYU Provo’s
Independent Study program.
2.) Transfer credit from courses taken through BYU–Hawaii Distance
Learning. Courses taken through BYU–Hawaii Distance Learning
online program (DL) will be transferred over. These classes are not
part of the normal BYU–Hawaii curriculum and must be transferred in
order to become part of the student’s academic record. Starting in
summer 2014, all grades transferred from DL classes will become part
of the student’s cumulative GPA as a UG student at BYU–Hawaii.
These classes will not count towards residency for graduation or
Religion residency hours, but may count for content requirements for
Religion. Note: Undergraduate online-only classes (section 300) taken
through the regular registration process are identical to regular in-class
course offerings and are distinct from DL classes.
25
3.) Transfer credit to BYU–Hawaii for courses completed at an
institution accredited by one of the following regional associations or
is an institution sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints.
• Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA-
CHE)
• North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA-
HLC)
• New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC-
CIHE)
• Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NWCCU)
• Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
• Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC-
ACSCU)
• Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC-
ACCJC)
Credit from international schools must be submitted for evaluation to
the Admissions Office upon application for admission to the
University.
All college transcripts will be evaluated to determine admissibility of an
applicant even if all or any of that credit is not accepted for transfer.
4.) Pass a special examination for credit in certain courses offered by
the University. (Religion courses and classes requiring a laboratory or
a portfolio are not among those that can be challenged.) Such credit will
be given only to currently enrolled students with the joint consent of the
dean of the faculty in which the student is registered and the dean of
the faculty in which the class is offered. A fee of $10.00 is charged prior
to taking each special examination, and, if passed, an additional $5.00
per credit hour. If a student challenges a course and fails the exam,
he/she must wait one full semester before he/she can re-challenge that
course and receive credit by examination. Test credit does not count
towards semester enrollment.
5.) Complete the Advanced Placement (AP) examinations, with
satisfactory scores. AP scores will be evaluated as transfer credit in the
Registrar’s Office (refer to Advanced Placement in the index).
6.) Complete the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) in
approved courses. BYU–Hawaii will grant credit in some sub areas
(specific subject matter courses) in which the student scores sufficiently
high and three hours of non-graded credit in those general areas in
which sufficiently high scores are received. Transcripts are reviewed
and credit is granted on a case by case basis as approved by the
university.
7.) Serve in the armed forces. A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational
Experiences in the Armed Services, published by the American Council
on Education, has been adopted by BYU–Hawaii as a basis for
evaluating college-level training and experiences in the armed forces.
Students must submit an official copy of their DD214 form to the
School Certifying Official in Admissions for evaluation prior to
completion of 24 credits or 2 semesters.
Transfer Credit
Application of transfer credit will be determined on a course by course
equivalency basis. All transfer courses with a C- grade or better will be
accepted by BYU–Hawaii as credit. Credit for courses of a remedial
nature (usually numbered 99 and below) will not be transferable.
Vocational credit may be considered on a case-by-case basis. BYU–
Hawaii does not transfer Grade Point Averages (GPA) when transferring
credits from other institutions.
Students who transfer with an Associate degree from an accredited
college or university, not including Associate of Applied Science, will
be required to complete:
• A major
• The four CORE Religion courses and residency
Religion requirements
• Advanced Writing - English 315
Students with an Associate of Applied Science must complete the full
Holokai program. Students should see an advisor for any possible
transfer equivalencies.

violations, international students who become illegal aliens, etc.
Grievances
Student Academic Grievance Policy
On occasion, a student may feel that his or her work has been
evaluated unfairly or inadequately by an instructor. In such an
instance, the student is encouraged to pursue the matter informally,
involving discussion between the student and faculty member
regarding the issue. The scripture in D&C 42:88 is applicable and
hopefully will serve as a guide: “And if thy brother or sister offend
thee, thou shall take him or her between him or her and thee alone;
and if he or she confess thou shalt be reconciled.”
When the matter is such that a more formal process is needed, the
following policy provides the means by which resolution of such
grievances can be obtained.
Body of Policy
1.
The student first brings the grievance to the attention of the
instructor involved. The resolution of grievances is best
26
accomplished between student and instructor directly. The
student must initiate the grievance within four months from
the last day of the examination period of the semester in which
the alleged unfair or inadequate evaluation took place. A
grievance related to restrictions limiting participation in
university academic programs must be initiated within 30
days of the decision in question. Where military service or
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints mission
makes it difficult to bring the grievance to the attention of
the instructor or college/school, a later consideration may be
permitted.
2.
If the student brings the grievance to the attention of the
instructor and it is not resolved to the student’s
satisfaction, or if the student feels strongly that the
instructor will not deal with the grievance fairly, or if the
instructor is no longer available on campus, the student can
choose to take the matter to the dean of the instructor’s
faculty. The grievance must be submitted to the dean in
writing. The dean will 1) consider the grievance, 2) review
the written grievance with the instructor and the student,
and 3) notify the student and instructor of the decision, in
writing, within 30 days after the original grievance was filed.
The dean will also communicate the decision to the Vice
President for Academics.
3.
In the event the student is dissatisfied with the decision by
the faculty dean, the student can make an appeal to the Vice
President for Academics. The appeal should be made in
writing no later than 30 days after the date of the dean’s letter
of decision. The written appeal should give the details of the
grievance. The instructor will also be asked to submit a
written statement.
4.
The Vice President for Academics will give the student the
choice to have the grievance resolved directly by the Vice
President or by a special three-member committee. If the
student chooses the committee method, the Vice President
will appoint a full-time member of the faculty as its chair. The
other two members of the committee will be appointed by
the student and the instructor, respectively. Each of these
members must be either a full-time student or a full-time
faculty member.
5.
During the grievance hearing, both the student and the
instructor will be free to call witnesses. The witnesses may
be questioned by the Vice President or committee members.
The number of witnesses involved and the conduct of the
hearing will be determined by the Vice President or the
committee chair.
In reviewing the grievance, the review panel, the affected
student, and the affected faculty member are responsible to
identify or provide relevant sources of information. The
review is intended to be collegial and not adversarial.
Accordingly, legal counsel is not allowed to attend nor
advocate in the review process. Presentation of the issues
should be concise and relevant. The chair of the review
panel shall be responsible to conduct the review and
establish applicable procedures if such are not available from
the dean. Any formal presentation should be limited to
pertinent issues, and panel members should be allowed
sufficient time to ask questions. Following presentation and
discussion of the grievance, the review panel will deliberate
in closed session and submit its recommendation to the Vice
President.
6.
The decision of the Vice President or the committee (its
majority vote) will be made within 10 days and will be final
and not subject to appeal. The student and instructor will be
notified of the decision in writing within 30 days of the date of
the hearing.
7.
The student should realize that the same process of appeal
is available to the instructor. In other words, if the instructor
is not satisfied with a faculty dean’s decision, appeal to the
Vice President for Academics (including the committee
option) is possible.
Other Grievances
The Hawaii Post-secondary Education Authorization Program
(HPEAP) is administered by Hawaii’s Department of Commerce and
Consumer Affairs (DCCA) and provides oversight of certain post-
secondary educational institutions, including BYU–Hawaii (see Hawaii
Revised Statutes § 305J). Under HPEAP, any BYU–Hawaii student or
former student having a complaint involving the university may file
the complaint with the DCCA provided that: (i) complaints not
involving violations of criminal law should be first submitted to BYU–
Hawaii for appropriate resolution; and (ii) complaints from former
students must generally be filed within two years of termination of
enrollment. The DCCA has jurisdiction to investigate complaints
based on violations of criminal law and to investigate other
grievances, including alleged violations of HPEAP, if the student or
former student has already exhausted with the university all
administrative remedies available for those grievances. The DCCA will
not investigate under HPEAP complaints that infringe on the
academic or religious freedom of, or that question the curriculum
content of, BYU–Hawaii. Complaints under HPEAP may also be filed
with the University’s accrediting agency, the WASC Senior College and
University Commission.
For any grievances related to sexual misconduct or Title IX, please see
the link at the bottom of the BYU–Hawaii homepage or go to
http://titleix.byuh.edu/report
For any other grievances, feel free to directly contact the university
administration through the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the
BYU–Hawaii homepage or go to
http://about.byuh.edu/reportaconcern.
After exhausting all institutional processes, you may seek recourse by
contacting the Hawaii Post-Secondary Education Authorization Program
(HPEAP). HPEAP may investigate complaints based on possible
violations of the Hawaii authorization statutes or rules.

Graduation
Formal graduation ceremonies are held at the end of each semester at
BYU–Hawaii. These will usually be in December, April, and June.
Please see the Academic Dates
(https://academics.byuh.edu/academicdates) page for the exact date
for your graduation.
Application for Graduation
Students who expect to qualify for a degree must apply for
graduation. The University recommends that students apply for
candidacy the year before they plan to graduate. The application form is
available at the Registrar’s Office. The deadline for the completed
application form to be submitted to the Registrar’s Office is the
semester prior to your final semester.
The Registrar’s Office will notify students in writing of the
requirements to be completed for a degree from BYU–Hawaii. If the
student does not graduate on the date indicated on the application, the
evaluation will be held for a future graduation date without charge.
Student should notify Registrar’s office when outstanding
requirements are completed.
Attendance at Commencement
The Graduation Exercise at which people march and are formally
recognized is called Commencement. Candidates will indicate on their
graduation application if they intend to march at graduation. Those who
do not march will receive their degree in absentia.
28
Diplomas
Diplomas will be mailed to students after all final grades are in, all
graduation requirements have been certified complete, and all
restrictions have been cleared.
Change in Graduation Requirements
The University reserves the right to change the requirements for
graduation at any time, and candidates may be required to comply with
all changes pertaining to the incomplete portions of their requirements.
Exceptions to the Graduation Requirements
Waivers of published graduation requirements are granted only in
exceptional cases.
Application for a waiver in the major/minor/certificate is made to the
Dean over the major. Substitutions in the graduation requirements are
granted by the dean over the major/minor/certificate program.
Scholastic Recognition
University Honors
Detailed explanations of the Honors Program are available in the
Honors section of this catalog.
Summa, Magna, Cum Laude
Recognition
There are three categories of academic recognition awarded to
graduating students at commencement who have earned a minimum
of 45 semester hours of credit at BYU–Hawaii. These are: summa cum
laude (GPA 3.85-4.00), magna cum laude (GPA 3.70-3.84) and cum
laude (GPA 3.50-3.69).
Graduation Requirements
A student may be awarded the bachelor’s degree upon completion of
the requirements listed below:
Credits
A candidate for the bachelor’s degree must complete a minimum of 120
semester hours of credit.
Grade Point Average
The student’s record must show a cumulative grade point average of
2.00 (C or higher) in all work presented in fulfillment of requirements.
Students may not graduate in a semester in which they are on academic
probation. Transfer students must show at least a 2.00 GPA for their
residence credit at BYU– Hawaii.
Major Requirement
A student must complete a major program with at least 15 hours of
credit in the major program earned at BYU–Hawaii. A student’s
graduation date will not be extended for a minor or second major. Due
to changes which occur from time to time in major and minor
requirements, it is the responsibility of the dean of the college offering
the major or minor to certify that requirements are properly fulfilled.
Double Majors and Double Minors
It is expected that students will graduate after four calendar years at BYU–
Hawaii (minimum 120 semester hours of earned credit). Students with
transfer credit should graduate in a shorter time period and will not be
allotted the full four years to complete their graduation requirements.
Students who wish to enhance their educational experience at BYU–
Hawaii by adding additional minors, certificates, or majors are
welcome to do so with the understanding that these must also be
completed within the four-year allotment. Given the generous tuition
subsidy paid by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Church, a double major would not be approved unless it can be earned
within four years.
Certificates
BYU–Hawaii awards certificates as part of a degree program.
Students may not have an academic plan that consists solely of
receiving a certificate. When a degree is awarded, any certificate earned
within the coursework taken as an undergraduate is listed on the
transcript and a physical certificate will be issued by the Registrar’s
Office along with the diploma.
Baccalaureate Degree Requirements
The Baccalaureate degree at BYU–Hawaii is awarded for the
equivalent of, typically, eight semesters of dedicated university study.
At BYU–Hawaii this includes not just the discipline of a major, but the
foundation of religious education. A student may have more than one
major, but there is only one baccalaureate degree. The degree granted
(BA, BS, etc.) is associated with the primary major and is declared when
application for graduation is made.
Other University Course
Requirements
The student must complete the religious education and English
proficiency requirements.
Residence Requirements
At least 15 semester hours of credit taken in residence at BYU–Hawaii
(15 of which must be in the major) are required for the bachelor’s
degree. A maximum of 10 semester hours earned through Educational
Outreach may be applied toward this requirement. A student must
register on campus for two semesters, not necessarily consecutive, to
satisfy the residence requirement. This requirement may be waived
for certain programs completed through Educational Outreach if
approval is given by the dean of the college sponsoring the program
and the director of Educational Outreach. A maximum of 36 semester
29
hours of correspondence credit may be applied toward the total
requirement of 120 semester hours. There is a deadline for filing of
transfer and correspondence credit and for the removal of incomplete
(I) grades from the student’s record. All credit transactions must be
complete, except for filing of final grades, two weeks prior to the date of
commencement.
Students not currently in residence at BYU–Hawaii who desire to
transfer credits to the University and take their degree from BYU–
Hawaii will be able to do so provided they left school in “good
standing” and filed their graduation application.
Graduating Student Survey
The Graduating Student Survey is required of all students the semester
they graduate. The purpose of this survey is to aid the University in
evaluating its instructional programs and to provide data for University
research. Diplomas and transcripts will not be available until a student
has completed the survey.
Adherence to University Standards
A student’s graduation may be delayed or denied if he or she is found in
violation of the BYU–Hawaii Honor Code.
Note: Any hold, warning, or probation by the Honor Code Office must
be properly cleared well before graduation.
Finance & Housing
Tuition and Fees
Cashier’s Office, LSB 1st Floor, (808) 675-3718
Tuition and class fees are due the third Wednesday from when
classes begin each semester. (See the current Academic Calendar for
dates.) Students who fail to pay tuition by this day will jeopardize their
eligibility to enroll in subsequent semesters.
Students who decide not to return should contact the Registrar’s Office
to drop all classes. Discontinuance must be completed prior to the first
day of classes to avoid a withdrawal fee. Tuition will be charged from the
first day of classes to the date the discontinuance office receives the
official discontinuance notification at the percentage rate listed under
the Refund Schedule that follows on the next page. Those who do not
drop their classes will retain them on their records and will be charged
tuition. Once students register for classes, they are officially enrolled
and committed to attend.
Students may add or drop classes online through the first three days of
school. Students cannot drop all their classes on the Web if they decide
not to attend. Instead, they must file for discontinuance. Students who
anticipate receiving financial aid will be held responsible to pay tuition
charges by the deadline date whether financial aid is available or not.
Questions regarding tuition and fee assessment should be addressed
to the BYU–Hawaii Financial Services Office (Administration
Building). The university reserves the right to change tuition and fees
without notice. The charge for noncredit courses or for auditing
courses is the same as for credit courses. Full-time status (for tuition
assessment) for all undergraduate students is registration for 12 or more
credit hours per semester (or 8 or more credit hours for spring semester.)
Part-time status (for tuition assessment) for all undergraduate
students is registration for less than 12 credit hours per semester (or less
than 8 credit hours for spring semester). The tuition paid as a part-
time undergraduate student does not entitle the student to health
service, student activity privileges, or physical education suit and
facility privileges.

http://financialaid.byuh.edu/?q+cost_of_attendance
*A significant portion of the cost of operating the university is paid
from the tithes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Therefore, students and families of students who are tithe-paying
members of the Church have already made a contribution on the
30
operation of the university. Because others will not have made this
contribution, they are charged a higher tuition, a practice similar in
principle to that of state subsidized universities charging higher tuition
to nonresidents.
Dishonored Checks
Any student whose check is dishonored by his or her bank will be charged
a handling fee of $20. Check-cashing privileges may be terminated at the
discretion of the Director of Financial Services.
Tuition Adjustments
After the semester begins, a part-time student who increases the number
of credit hours must pay for these additional hours on the day they are
added. A full-time student dropping to part- time or a part-time
student who decreases credit hours may be entitled to a tuition refund.
A full refund will be allowed through the first fifteen calendar days of
each semester/term for the difference between the number of credits
the student starts with and the number of credits the students carry.
Refunds for courses dropped after the first fifteen days will be subject to
the refund schedule listed below. Any unpaid charges or
encumbrances will be deducted from any refund to a student due to a
tuition adjustment. Refund checks will be available to students based
on the current refund policy, a copy of which is available on the BYU–
Hawaii Financial Services website.
Discontinuance-Tuition Charge/
Refund
In the event of withdrawal, discontinuance or drop by a student, tuition
will be adjusted on the following basis:
Calendar days after first day of class
Fall / Winter Semesters
Adjustment % Time of Discontinuance or drop
100% up to 15 days after classes start
90% up to 25 days after classes start
50% up to 35 days after classes start
25% up to 50 days after classes start
Spring Semesters
Adjustment % Time of Discontinuance or drop
100% up to 15 days after classes start
50% up to 20 days after classes start
25% up to 25 days after classes start
The tuition adjustment will be calculated based on the day that the
withdrawal form is submitted to the Registrar’s Office with clearance
signatures. A withdrawal fee of $10 will be charged for students who
discontinue. No refund of scholarships or awards will be granted to a
student. Class fees are also adjusted on a pro-rata basis using the
schedule above unless the fees are for materials provided at the
beginning of class in which case no refund will be provided to
students who received such materials.
Students financing tuition and fees through University financial aid
programs will have aid programs credited according to the adjustment
schedule. If a student discontinues or drops in status from full-time to
part-time and has received a Stafford Loan or a Pell Grant, federal
regulations may require the school to return a portion to the
appropriate lending institution or Pell Grant Account. This may entail
collecting back from the student any refunds already disbursed.
Any unpaid charges or encumbrances will be deducted from the
r
efund amount due any student who withdraws. Any refund due a
student because of withdrawal from school will be made
approximately four weeks from the date on which the withdrawal was
reported by the Registrar’s Office.
Class Fees
Class fees change from time to time. Please contact the Registrar’s
Office at (808) 675-3736 for current information.

Financial Policies
The University has established the following financial policies relating
to the collection of tuition, fees, housing and other charges from
students.
Financial Statements
An email will be sent to each student at their preferred email address
once statements are available to view online.
These statements will show the status of the student’s account,
including charges, payments received, and past due amounts. These
statements do not relieve the student from making required payments by
the deadlines listed in this catalog.
Payment Method
All payments must be paid in U.S. currency and be received by BYU–
Hawaii by the deadline dates listed in the Academic Calendar in this
catalog. They may be paid online or to the BYU–Hawaii Cashier’s
Office either in person or by mail but must be received on or before the
deadline dates.
If paying by mail, allow enough time for the mail to get to BYU–
Hawaii. Send a check or money order. Do not send cash by mail.
Payments can also be made by bank credit card online, in person at the
Cashiers Office, or over the phone. Credit cards accepted: Visa,
MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Delinquent Accounts
If an unsatisfactory financial relationship occurs because of unpaid
fees, fines, housing, returned checks, loss of property or breakage, the
following recourse may be taken by the University:
1. The student will not be allowed to advance register for
future semesters/terms if he/she has past due balances.
2. Withholding of academic credit. No transcript of credits,
recommendation, registration or readmission to the
University will be allowed until the obligation is cleared.
3. In the event students become delinquent in the payment of
their financial obligations BYU–Hawaii may assess (a) a
financial charge in the amount of 1% per month against all
unpaid debts over thirty days old, (b) all late charges, and
(c) all costs of collection incurred by BYU–Hawaii including
reasonable costs, expenses and attorney’s fees incurred in
collecting the debt. BYU-Hawaii may elect to turn student
account balances over to an outside collection agency if we
are unable to make satisfactory arrangements for payment
with the student.
The above steps may be taken by the Director of Financial Services
without further notice if a satisfactory arrangement is not made after the
student has once been notified regarding his or her financial
responsibility.
Financial Aid &
Scholarships
Financial Aid Office, LSB 1st Floor, (808) 675-3316
The Financial Aid Office provides the following services:
1. Federal Financial Aid (Pell Grants, Teach Grant, Stafford
Loans, PLUS loans)
2. Scholarships and Awards
3. International Work Opportunity Returnability Kuleana
Program (IWORK)
4. Hukilau Program
5. Financial Aid Counseling
6. BYU–Hawaii Deferred Payment Plan
7. BYU–Hawaii Book Loans
A list of financial resources available to BYU–Hawaii students is
available at http://financialaid.byuh.edu/
Over the past decade the cost of obtaining an excellent university
education has increased considerably. As a result, many students and
their families have found it difficult to obtain the funds to pursue an
32
education. The university is sensitive to this situation and to those
students who are hard-pressed to finance their studies. We strive to
assist those who need additional resources to further their studies find
alternatives where possible.
Financial aid available at BYU–Hawaii comes from various federal,
state, and university programs in the form of loans, scholarships, and
grants. The Financial Aid office staff coordinates these financial aid
programs and assists students in identifying financial resources for
which they might qualify. Because financial need usually exceeds the
amount of financial aid available through university and federal
programs, the distribution of financial aid at BYU–Hawaii is generally
based on a combination of the student’s unmet need, academic
performance, and other pertinent factors.
The process of determining a student’s eligibility for financial aid is
called need analysis. During the need analysis process, income and
asset information from both the student and parents is examined to
determine the family’s ability to contribute toward educational costs.
This figure, called the expected family contribution (EFC), is
subtracted from the cost of attendance, to determine the unmet
financial need.
For U.S. citizens and Legal Permanent Residents, BYU–Hawaii uses the
standard government need analysis form called the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), in determining how much the student
and family is able to contribute toward the cost of the student’s
education. For International students, BYU–Hawaii uses the
International Student Aid Application (ISAA).
All students applying for financial aid must complete the FAFSA or
ISAA. For students who are selected for verification, this includes
completing and submitting verification documents.
Even though a standard formula is used to analyze a student’s
financial situation, the staff of the Financial Aid Office carefully
considers the individual circumstances of each student applying for
aid.
Applying for financial aid is complicated and time consuming.
Considerable delays and frustrations can arise from filling out forms
incorrectly or failing to submit the proper documents in a timely
manner. Students and their parents are encouraged to read instructions
carefully and to complete all forms and documents correctly.
To learn more details about these programs, email
financialid@byuh.edu
.
Federal Aid
Federal Aid, BYU–Hawaii Financial Aid, (808) 675-3316
Federal aid available at BYU–Hawaii includes Pell Grants, Teach Grants,
Stafford Loans, and PLUS loans. U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and
eligible non-citizens may qualify for Federal Student Aid. The
Financial Aid website listed above has links to the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) http:// www.fafsa.ed.gov, as well as a link
to obtain a FSA ID http://www.fsaid.ed.gov
(needed by students and parents of
dependent students to electronically sign and submit the FAFSA Application.
To insure the availability of Federal funds to pay tuition and housing
charged by the deadlines, it is recommended that the FAFSA should
be submitted annually to the government by March 15th. Other
required documents such as verification documents should be received
by the BYU–Hawaii Financial Aid office by April 30th in order to meet
priority processing dates.
Federal student aid recipients are required to maintain satisfactory
academic progress (SAP) as outlined on the Financial Aid Office website
at http://financialaid.byuh.edu/sap. Recipients must also comply with
specific regulations governing each program as outlined by the federal
government.
Students who have received federal aid who withdraw from school
should contact the Financial Aid Office. When a student withdraws mid-
semester, calculations must be made to determine how much of the Federal
Aid a student may keep or must return.
Program details, regulations, forms, advisement, and refund
requirements for each of the federal student aid programs are available
at the BYU–Hawaii Financial Aid Office and on the Financial Aid
website.
Students may use funds listed on their award notice only for
educational-related expenses incurred at BYU–Hawaii for the respective
academic year.
Scholarships and Awards
Scholarship and Awards, BYU–Hawaii Financial Aid, (808) 675-3316
Scholarships and awards are processed and administered by the BYU–
Hawaii Financial Aid office. Scholarships and awards fall into three
broad categories: 1) BYU–Hawaii Program awards, 2) Institutional
Based awards, and 3) External awards.
Scholarships and awards are valid only for the period for which they
are awarded and are subject to the availability of funds. Scholarship
and award funds are not available to students until they are admitted
and registered at the university, and may not be transferred to other
institutions. BYU–Hawaii institutional scholarships, grants, tuition
waivers, tuition discounts, and loans may be applied against any
expenses recorded on the student account. This may include class fees,
participation fees, insurance, and any other institutional charges. (Terms
and conditions on scholarship website)
In order for a student to receive a scholarship the student must be enrolled
for 14 credits in the fall and winter semester and 9 credits in the Spring
semester in which the scholarship will be awarded.
For the most recent information about the availability of scholarships,
application forms, and application deadlines, consult the Financial Aid
website.
For information regarding International Work Opportunity
Returnability Kuleana Program (IWORK), please see information in the
IWORK Program section of this catalog.
Tuition Benefit
Tuition Benefit, BYU–Hawaii Human Resources, (808) 675-3713
Regular full-time faculty, staff, and administrative personnel may
register for up to a maximum of two classes per semester and one class
per term provided one class has to be outside the employee’s work
schedule. Approval must be obtained from the employee’s
supervisors. Employees taking classes more than 1 hour in a semester
must receive approval from their director in addition to their line vice
president.
33
Full-time employees, their spouses and eligible dependents become
eligible for tuition benefits upon the employees date of hire.
Dependent children are eligible for a half-tuition benefit for
undergraduate work only, regardless of marital status. Benefits of
dependent children cease when they receive an undergraduate
degree, accumulate 152 credit hours, or reach age 30, whichever
occurs first. (Included credits taken from BYU-Provo, Idaho, and LDS
Business College).
BYU–Hawaii Deferred Payment Plan
BYU–Hawaii Financial Services, (808) 675-3706
http://financialaid.byu.edu/DeferredPaymentPlan
In harmony with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
philosophy of self-reliance, the BYU–Hawaii Deferred Payment Plan
was established to help students who are anticipating future funding
to be available within a few weeks, to extend their payment deadlines
for the semester. A Deferred Payment Plan is not a long-term solution
to address unmet financial need. Payment towards the Deferred
Payment Plan begins the second week of school and monthly
payments are due for approximately two more months for a Fall or
Winter semester and one more month for a Spring semester.
Eligible students may defer payment of tuition, fees, and room & board
charges provided they can prove they will have the resources to pay
these charges by the due date.
Students who are delinquent in paying deferred charges by the due date
will not be eligible for future deferred payment plans or book loans.
Applicants must:
1. Be enrolled at BYU–Hawaii.
2. Not have any past due balance from a prior enrollment
period.
3. Demonstrate the ability to pay the deferred amount when
due.
BYU–Hawaii Book Loan
It is the responsibility of the student and student’s family (and if
applicable the student’s sponsor) to budget appropriately and have
funds available to purchase textbooks and supplies at the beginning of
each enrollment period.
The university understands that on occasion, financial resources may
be delayed and not available at the beginning of the semester/ term. The
purpose of the BYU–Hawaii Book Loan is to enable qualified students
to obtain books and supplies when classes begin and pay for them
within 55 days (15 days for a term) when other resources become
available.
As of January 1, 2018, all full-time students are pre-approved for a $450
Book Loan each semester. Once the Book Loan is no longer active, the
actual loan amount charged to a student’s account will be the actual
amount of credit used by the student to purchase books and supplies.
Financial Aid Counseling
Students may meet personally with Financial Aid staff to discuss
financial aid options, how to apply for scholarships, budgeting, debt
management, and other finance-related topics. To set an appointment,
students may walk in to the Financial Aid service counter on the 1
st
Floor of the Lorenzo Snow Building, or call 808-675-3316.
Other Financial Assistance
State higher education offices, high school, and college financial aid offices
in each state or country often have information regarding special
financial assistance programs available to residents of their
respective state or country. There are also many free scholarship
search engines available on the internet. Many external scholarships
and scholarship search engines are listed on the BYU–Hawaii
Financial Aid website at http:// financialaid.byuh.edu/.
IWORK Scholarship
IWORK Scholarship, BYU–Hawaii Financial Aid, (808) 675-3316
The IWORK program is to assist students from the Pacific Rim (South
Pacific & Far East) in obtaining a quality education at BYU–Hawaii. It
is built on the principle of self-reliance and its goal is to provide the
necessary financial assistance to worthy members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints so they can return home to their
countries and regions debt-free and qualified to provide leadership
roles in an international church, in civic and social affiliations, and

Personal Items
Homes are typically much smaller in Hawaii, so please be aware that
your room on-campus and off-campus can only reasonably
accommodate about 2 suitcases worth of personal items during your
stay here at BYU–Hawaii. The University does not offer storage
facilities, the closest storage facilities are approximately 1 hour away
from campus.
***Packages CANNOT be mailed before you arrive on- campus. So do
not send anything before you arrive.*** After checking into the dorms,
students will be able to go to the Mail Center to sign up for their mail
box.
Give and Take:
The university offers a student run program to recycle gently used
items. Donations are accepted at the “Give and Take”, the donations
are generally from students who are leaving the island. Purchases are
made through service, any student can serve to help organize the
donated items, and purchase items through hours served (no money
is exchanged). The following are typical items found at the Give and
Take: Clothing and shoes for adults, teens and children, kitchenware,
kitchen appliances, household goods, towels and bedding, clothing,

Students can take a shuttle from the Honolulu International Airport to
the North Shore by making reservations using the following link:
northshoreexpress.net.
Parking is limited on-campus. If coming by car, it is recommended that
the resident be dropped off with their luggage close to their dormitory,
before finding suitable parking in designated areas.

Housing. Vacancies generally become available 1-2 months before the
start of a new semester. Eligible students should begin the process of
securing off campus housing when they complete their intent to enroll.
Single BYU- Hawaii students under the age of 25 are required to live in
BYU–Hawaii approved housing. To determine if housing is approved,
please review the listings available on the housing. byuh.edu website
off campus housing link or contact our office at housing@byuh.edu.
35
If you are from Hawai’i and live with your parents in Hawai’i you may
qualify for a family exemption.
Finding off-campus housing may take some time so please keep in mind
that listings will go up when they become available and come down as
units are taken. It will continue like this up until school starts. If you
don’t see many options at any particular time, keep looking. When
something does come up, do not hesitate to sign a contract, if it is
something you’re interested in, as they are filled quickly.
Our students typically live in the town of Laie and our neighboring
towns of Kahuku and Hau’ula. These three communities have large
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints populations and are
centrally connected through BYU–Hawaii, the Polynesian Cultural
Center and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Hawaii
Temple. For more detailed information about the Laie, Kahuku and
Hau’ula communities, please click here.
Please remember that Laie is a rural community and most off campus
housing are homes with in the small community.
Report my off-campus address
All students living off-campus must report their off-campus address
by emailing a copy to offcampushousing@byuh.edu or bringing in a
copy to the Housing Office. You will need to send your proof of
address which would be a signed rental contract from your landlord
or a family exemption letter from your parents. If you do not have a
scanner take a clear picture of it and upload the picture. Please be
sure to have this submitted as soon as possible, as two weeks after
the first day of class, holds will be placed on students accounts who
have not yet submitted their off-campus address. This hold will
restrict you from registering for classes for the following semester.
Reporting your off-campus address immediately after signing a
contract will help avoid these holds, as you would have your
landlord’s details and documents ready to upload. It also helps us so
we know that you are ok and have your housing situated.
IWORK and University Sponsored Students
All IWORK/Sponsored students are required to live in on-campus
housing while attending school. Incoming IWORK students will have
their rooms booked for them by the Housing Office before they arrive.
After the first semester, all IWORK/Sponsored students are responsible
for booking their own rooms each semester. Failure to book their rooms
for each semester may result in the loss of their on-campus housing and
their IWORK scholarship.
Transportation from the Airport to Campus for Sponsored and
IWORK students
Please keep in touch with your Financial Advisor and report your flight
information once it is confirmed. Your advisor will help make
arrangements for your transportation from the Honolulu Airport to the
BYU–Hawaii Campus.
Married Students
New incoming married students must make arrangements to live
off-campus, and should expect to live off-campus as full-time
students for 2 - 3 semesters before acceptance into on-campus
married housing. The TVA (Temple View Apartments) application
requires at least one person to be a full-time student with a minimum
of 12 credits to be eligible to be on a married student housing wait
list. Students may apply for TVA as soon as they are accepted into
school, but must become full-time students with a minimum of 12

current full time students.
University Requirements
HOLOKAI—YOUR ACADEMIC
VOYAGE
Anciently, Pacific Islanders sailed to new lands in voyaging canoes
using the stars and waves for navigation. The Hawaiians call this
voyage holokai (kai = ocean, holo = to go, to move, to travel).
Today students at BYU–Hawaii chart their own Holokai or academic
voyages. Students plan out individual paths to graduation and future
destinations by combining a major with two minors or certificates.
Mapping out your own Holokai allows you to have both breadth and
depth of knowledge in a combination that will set you on your voyage
to your own personal destination in life.
Holokai Curriculum
All students share some central academic experiences, Religious
Education courses and a core of Math and English. But in addition to
that, each student puts together a unique combination of programs that
will include something in each category: Arts & Humanities, Math &
Sciences, and Professional Studies.
The shared compass for each student’s Holokai are the BYU–Hawaii
outcomes, that students develop both breadth and depth of knowledge
and the thinking skills and character of a servant- leader, the ability to
inquire, analyze, and communicate and to act with integrity, stewardship,
and service, to prepare them to serve in a world community as
productive, responsible citizens and as faithful members of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints.
The Three Categories
Arts & Humanities
In the Arts & Humanities category, programs explore what it means to
be human and to interact with diverse others. This may take the form of
historical, linguistic, or cultural inquiry, or it may be accomplished
through active participation in the visual and performing arts.
Math & Sciences
Students will find in the Math & Sciences category, the programs’
primary purpose is to engage students in learning and understanding
pure and applied mathematics, algorithms, and/or scientific thinking. We
define scientific thinking as a pattern of following the scientific method
using quantitative, evidence-based reasoning and the formulation of
testable explanations and predictions about the universe and our
existence within it.
Professional Studies
In the Professional Studies category, the programs cover a wide range
of disciplinary areas. They share a practical focus in helping students
be well prepared for active social and civic engagement and to have the
skills to help organizations and people learn and succeed.

REQUIREMENTS FOR A BACHELOR’S
DEGREE
BYU–Hawaii offers majors and minors in three categories: Arts &
Humanities, Math & Sciences, and Professional Studies. In order to earn
a BYU–Hawaii degree, students must complete 120 credits and a
combination of 1 major from 1 category and 2 minors/certificates (or
additional majors if they fit within the 4-year allotment) from each of
the remaining categories. The responsibility rests with the students to
see that their programs of study satisfy all the requirements for
graduation listed in the catalog. Advisors and other members of the
faculty and staff will assist in any way possible.
Core Classes + Major and 2 minors/certificates in 3 different areas
(Breadth & Depth) + Religious Education = BYU–Hawaii Degree
Core Classes
Mathematics Requirement-Quantitative and Logical Reasoning (3-5
credit hours)
The math requirement can be completed by taking one of the
following:
• Statistics: MATH 221, BIOL 340, PSYC 205, POSC 200/300 &
POSC 204/304, or EXS 339
• Calculus: MATH 112, MATH 113, or MATH 119
• Trigonometry: MATH 111
• Quantitative Reasoning: MATH 107
• Discrete Mathematics: CIS 205 & 205L
Reading/Writing/Speaking (3 credit hours)
• ENGL 101 Communication in Writing, Speaking, and

ENGL 316 Technical Writing (3)
• Approved Senior Seminar in the major: BIOL 492, CHEM
494, HIST 490, CS 491-493, IT 491-493
Breadth and Depth of Education
All majors, minors, and certificates are grouped into three areas. To
build your Holokai, you will need to choose one program as your
major and two programs from different categories as your minors
and/or certificates. All the choices for your Holokai should be located
in separate columns and rows. Furthermore, you can also choose other
programs as additional majors, minors, and/or certificates if they are
completed within 4 years.
BYU–Hawaii language courses are designed for second language
learners, and thus first or native language speakers are not eligible to
take courses offered on BYU–Hawaii campus.
For those wishing to pursue an Interdisciplinary Studies major with
the 2017 Curriculum, the primary and secondary emphases may count
as separate breadth areas, but they cannot replace the need for two
additional curricular programs in addition to what is in the IDS major.
Three of the emphases and/or minors must be in different breadth
areas.

Holokai Requirements for Students transferring with an Associate’s
Degree
Students who transfer with an Associate degree from an accredited
college or university, not including Associate of Applied Science, will
be required to complete the following graduation requirements:
• A major
• The four CORE Religion courses and
residency Religion requirements
• Advanced Writing - English 315
Students with an Associate of Applied Science must complete the full
Holokai program. Students should see an advisor for any possible
transfer equivalencies.
Additional Major
Students who wish to enhance their educational experience at BYU–
Hawaii by adding a minor, certificate, or courses equivalent to a
double major are welcome to do so with the understanding that these
must also be completed within the 4-year allotment. Electing to start
these additional programs does not grant a student any additional
allotment of time. Completing a major and courses equivalent to a
second major does not mean that the student will receive two degrees.
The bachelor’s degree is the degree awarded and if a student receives
the equivalent of two majors they still must decide which degree they
wish to receive, e.g. B.A., B.S., etc., as appropriate.

Independent Study
Independent Study consists of interaction between an individual
student and a regularly employed instructor of our campus through

Online Courses
The means of instruction for some BYU–Hawaii courses is online-only.
These classes are identified by section 300 in the enrollment record.
Other modes of instruction include section 200 (on-campus online) and
section 100 (hybrid). These modes of instruction are not purely online
classes and cannot be taken by students who are away from campus for
a semester.
Repeatable Courses
All courses listed with an “R” at the end of the course number are
considered repeatable and are counted each time in the computation of
the cumulative GPA. Each course will count towards graduation.
Repeatable courses are titled as “Special Topics” and the subject matter
changes from semester to semester. Courses may be variable in credit
count and also in faculty selected to teach the course.

Program Descriptions
The English major is designed to provide an encounter with the
humanizing forces of English and American literature and the English
language. As an important focus in the tradition of the liberal arts, the
study of English will produce graduates more conscious of themselves,
their nature, their society, their values, their traditions and their
language.
Career Opportunities
English majors are prepared for any career that requires perceptive
reading, orderly and clear thinking, intellectual maturity, and effective
writing. Many career opportunities for English majors exist in
teaching, professional writing and editing, law, business, advertising,
communications, human resources, corporate training, or government
service.
English majors can certify to teach secondary-school English, or they
can prepare for graduate study in English and college teaching. When
combined with prerequisite courses in other programs, the English
major provides excellent preparation for graduate work in law,
business, library science, medicine, humanities, or religion. By
selecting areas of concentration, some English majors prepare for
careers in technical and professional communication, editing, creative
writing, and related fields. By supplementing their English major with
computer classes, some find work in information technology. The skills
and knowledge acquired by an English major also provide good
preparation for government service, especially when combined with
the study of foreign languages, economics, political science, and
history.

Program Outcomes
Upon completing a major in Art, students will:
• Demonstrate studio proficiency in hand crafted visual art
production techniques.
• Demonstrate studio proficiency in digital imaging and
computer software production techniques.
• Demonstrate methods of critical thinking through critique,
compositional analysis, and interpretation of the elements
and principles of design.
• Demonstrate informed understanding and appreciation of
the history of art, theories of art, and the role of art in
education through written and oral communication.
• Demonstrate proficiency in professional practices of visual
arts documentation and presentation through portfolio

independent study, student research and internship.
Programs Descriptions
The visual arts curriculum serves five main purposes: (1) to prepare
competent professionals in various fields of visual arts; (2) to qualify
artists and designers to solve conceptual and technical problems
inherent in visual arts; (3) to train art students to critically assess and
discuss works of art; (4) to prepare art educators for teaching the visual
arts at the secondary level; and (5) to generally develop individuals’
aesthetic sense by helping them experience art.
Career Opportunities
The Art major prepares students for many visual art and humanity-
related careers and provides a solid foundation for art and design
graduate programs. Studio art majors can specialize in one of two
media tracks (graphic design, or painting). Students in the graphic
design track are trained as graphic designers in digital and print media
for branding, publication, and web design, including additional skills
in illustration, photography, and video. Students in the painting track
are trained to work as self-employed freelance artists, with the skills
necessary

The Discipline
Political Science is the study of power and how human beings organize
their public life. Political Science majors typically leave their
undergraduate education prepared to enter graduate study, law
school, business careers, and a host of other opportunities. Often times,
political science majors serve their nations and the world through
government service. They learn valued skills, such as qualitative and
quantitative analysis, written and oral communication, and critical
thinking and graduate prepared to work and serve in a rapidly
changing world.
Politics embraces more than the immediate concerns of politicians or
pollsters. It involves fundamental choices concerning life in our
communities - whether local, national, or global. Politics also allows
humans to build order and peace from chaos and conflict. Indeed,
prosperity and fulfillment require a healthy political life - one that
reflects our basic needs and interests, our highest aspirations, and
balances the harsh requirements of power.
Political science involves a full range of inquiry, addressing questions
such as: “Who gets what?” “What is a just political order?” and “Why
is it so often abused?” The discipline utilizes methods ranging from
statistical analysis to input historical comparison. To develop skills in
these methods, political science students reflect on influential and
time-tested texts while also exploring cutting-edge theories. Political
science students also examine issues such as campaign finance reform
and engage debates and the value of international organizations in the
Pacific. Students also study events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall
and phenomena such as the rise of global terrorism. Political science
students also examine key ethical questions and can thus explain
intelligently whether or not the Athenians were justified in
condemning Socrates to death.
Since we are all significantly shaped by the assumptions and practices
of the institutions we inhabit, political science helps us to understand
not only our world but also ourselves. If we choose to ignore politics, it
doesn’t go away; we just lose the opportunity to influence our
communities for the better.
Career Opportunities
The Political Science program offers an undergraduate degree in
political science for students preparing for graduate degrees in related
fields, professional degrees (law or business), a wide range of public
service occupations (local, state, federal, or Foreign offices), or
countless posts in organizations seeking to influence public policy.
The degree also serves the liberal arts students interested in an under
graduate major that focuses on challenging questions facing modern
society.
Students may emphasize the subfields of American government,
comparative government, international politics, political philosophy,
and public policy.

Program Outcomes

• Demonstrate competence using logical/analytical skills;
• Demonstrate an understanding of political
philosophy/theory;
• Demonstrate the critical reading skills needed to engage

Pre-law Advisement
There is no one special academic program undergraduate students
should take to prepare them for admission to a law school. Most law
schools prefer students who have developed good writing and other
communication skills and who have a solid general education
background. Courses in the social sciences are a good preparation for
training in the law, and many lawyers find training in accounting and
English to be a very useful adjunct to their legal training.
For specific information regarding particular law schools and law
school admission tests and requirements, students may consult

The Discipline
Entrepreneurship provides students with the skills and ability to
pursue opportunity without regard to the resources they control. This
program helps students to apply their talents from other majors in
order to create a business model that will help them return to their
home countries with an enlarged vision of what they can accomplish
through leadership and hard work.
Career Opportunities
Students gaining a certificate or minor in International
Entrepreneurship are prepared to launch their own business, non-
profit, or NGO in both domestic and international organizations.
Graduates from this program are much more interested in “making” a
job than “taking” a job. Some examples are: founder, small business
owner, digital marketing consultant, videographer, data analytics
consultant, sales representative, and not-for-profit fundraiser.
Programs & Degrees
• Small Business & Entrepreneurship Minor
• Certificate in Entrepreneurship
Program Outcomes
Upon completing the certificate or minor in International
Entrepreneurship, students will:
• Demonstrate a knowledge of how to recognize opportunity.
• Demonstrate a knowledge of how to marshal resources.
• Demonstrate a knowledge of how to manage risk.
• Demonstrate a knowledge of how to scale a venture.
• Demonstrate a knowledge of how to harvest a venture.
• Demonstrate a knowledge of how to manage information in
order to ask the right questions.
• Be able to use critical thinking skills to solve real business and
social problems.
• Be able to demonstrate ethical leadership in order to take a
stand and defend a position.
• Be able to take and fulfill personal responsibility for
individual and group performance.
• Be able to share knowledge and skills while leading others.

Programs Descriptions
Anthropology represents a comparative and holistic study of the
human condition past and present. The historical (mythological,
physical, and archaeological) and ethnographic (socio-cultural and
linguistic) methods offer a unique cross- cultural perspective on
humankind anciently and today. Our goal is to sharpen critical and
analytical thinking about cultural differences and similarities through
careful and in-depth studies of particular cultures, and then through a
comparative approach, explore underlying cultural processes in the
past as well as those within current regional and global trends. We also
hope to explore culturally sensitive applications of Anthropological
understanding to indignity, social inequalities, development and
transcultural relations. By studying these processes in a variety of
cultural and historical contexts, we will gain not only an appreciation
of “others,” but discover an “otherness” in ourselves.
This Cultural Anthropology Major will provide students with a range
of knowledge concerning cultural studies and sociocultural systems.
Students will start with the basics focusing on contemporary
102
applications of Cultural Anthropology and then proceed to encounter
topics ranging from Hawaiian Cultures to Oceanic Societies to Current
Issues in Anthropology and to Applied Anthropology. While gaining
this knowledge, students will also obtain a thorough review of
historical, social, and cultural theories that have informed
anthropological inquiry and practice.
Programs & Degrees
• B.A. Cultural Anthropology
• Cultural Anthropology Minor
Programs Outcomes
Upon completing a major in Cultural Anthropology, students will:
• Demonstrate working competency in cultural literacy and
cultural diversity.
• Appreciate cultural differences and develop problem solving
skills.
• Think critically.
• Cultivate curiosity for life-long learning and leadership.
• Understand the application of anthropological knowledge,
theories and methods to the solutions of societal problems.
• Articulate and sustain views through verbal and written
discourse.
• Be well prepared to enter graduate school or the workplace.

Programs Descriptions
The mission of the Hawaiian Language and Cultural Studies program
is to provide all of our students who choose to attend BYU–Hawaii the
opportunity to study the Hawaiian language, the Hawaiian culture,
the history, and all the positive aspects of the Hawaiian people within
the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to
foster the principles of service, leadership, hospitality, respect,
perseverance, humility, and aloha that we believe is nothing less than
the pure love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Within these parameters the
program for Hawaiian Language and Cultural Studies teaches the
following curriculum. Two tracks of study are available: a Hawaiian
language track and a Hawaiian culture track. It is recommended that
students majoring in Hawaiian studies minor in another area. No
grade lower than a C- will be counted towards the major.

Programs Descriptions
The History major lies at the center of the liberal arts curriculum and
supports the University goal of obtaining a broad university education
based on the world’s arts, letters, and sciences. It offers students the
opportunity to expand their horizons around the globe and across time
from the earliest human era to the present. History students’ work in
positions of challenge and responsibility in nearly every field, from
business to teaching to law to government service. Many go on to earn
graduate and professional degrees. They learn skills in research,
writing, critical thinking, synthesis and interdisciplinary that offer the
best preparation for the varying challenges of work and service in the
rapidly changing world.
Finally, it takes as a central goal the development of a student’s ability
to think clearly, communicate effectively, learn independently and
solve problems successfully.
Career Opportunities
The major will provide a rigorous pre-professional degree to prepare
students for graduate school in law, business and public
administration, diplomacy, public relations, development, as well as
academic programs. As a terminal degree the program will prepare
highly desirable and competent professional consultants, Business &
Government administration, teachers, writers in fields and professions
where cultural interaction and differences are significant.
A student of history acquires skills and attitudes that are valuable
assets in the professional world. With excellent writing, analytical and
research skills, history majors are desirable in fields of education,
government, publishing, information, advocacy and business. A
wealth of opportunities awaits the history graduate, including careers
as teachers, writers, lawyers, archivists, politicians and entrepreneurs.
A student of history has every opportunity that thinking about the past
and the present in a multitude of ways can open up to them. The
values of curiosity and inquisitiveness make history majors people
who desire to learn more and live life as a continual education.

Programs Descriptions
Human values and beliefs are often reflected through various forms of
expression, such as literature, philosophy, and the arts. The study of
integrated humanities allows exploration of the various modes/forms
of human expression in the Western as well as non-Western cultures.
Our goal is to develop critical and analytical thinking about human
civilization through a close examination of its cultural histories and
expressive art forms, with an increased focus on cultivating the art of
seeing, listening, and reading in more purposeful, attentive, informed,
and nuanced ways. By studying these cultural products in a world
context, we will gain a fuller understanding of the shared human
experience coupled with a genuine appreciation for the diverse
creative accomplishments of the world’s people.
The study of Integrated Humanities will provide students with a way
to productively approach world cultures through their arts, music,
literatures, film, folklore, history, theatre, philosophies, and aesthetics.
While being introduced to new ideas, students will also have the
opportunity to explore and survey critical theories and apply them in
analyzing and interpreting creative works from different cultures and
time periods.
Programs & Degrees
• B.A. Integrated Humanities
• Foundational Language Study Minor
• Integrated Humanities Minor
• World Language Minors
• Chinese Minor

• Certification of Language Proficiency by Examination
Programs Outcomes
Upon completing a major in Integrated Humanities, students will:
• Acquire a meaningful degree of cultural literacy they can
employ effectively in everyday life.
• Become astute observers, interpreters and critical thinkers.
• Integrate a range of critical perspectives on a variety of
diverse cultural expressions.
• Understand and manage cultural differences.
• Be prepared to enter graduate school and the workplace.
Certification of Language Proficiency by
Examination
Students speaking a second or third-world language may receive
credit by special examination for that language in which he or she has
achieved the equivalent proficiency, either through missionary service,
residence abroad, individual study, or courses for which no university
credit was granted. Students meeting the latter criteria and wishing to

Programs Descriptions
The Intercultural Peacebuilding seeks to refine and mold the divine
potential of BYU–Hawaii graduates to influence peace for the good at
home, in the workplace, in communities and throughout the world. It
not only emphasizes theories of harmony, cross cultural leadership,
and conflict transformation but also highlights the spiritual
components of these areas such as forgiveness and reconciliation by
drawing on a broad range of theories and techniques from the
academic disciplines of anthropology, cultural studies, political
science, psychology, history, economics, law and business.
A major in intercultural peacebuilding will provide opportunities for
employment in careers in the public, private and non-for-profit sectors
as an understanding of the theories of conflict and sustainable
community building and development. Students will also gain
knowledge and basic skills necessary to navigate the intricacies of
intercultural communication and negotiation in whatever their chosen
profession may be.
One of the primary goals of IPB is the fulfillment of BYU–Hawaii’s
prophetic mission to accept, adapt, and integrate cultural differences
through the transcendent principles of love, faith, and peace combined
with a rigorous academic curriculum that directly addresses cross-
cultural understanding. As a microcosm of global diversity, BYU–
Hawaii provides an exceptional environment for Intercultural
Peacebuilding.

The Discipline
The study of music at Brigham Young University–Hawaii involves two
components: practical performance (both solo and ensemble) and
academic studies (theory and history). Therefore, academic
coursework and practical performance are seen as interlocking and
vital to the developing musician. Through rigorous training, students
are equipped to perform artistically, to teach effectively, and to
provide music leadership in the Church and in the community. In
addition to the Western tradition in music, students also learn cultural
sensitivity through contact with diverse world music cultures. The
program provides service to the University by creating a rich artistic
environment of concerts, recitals, and music for devotionals,
graduations, convocations and other campus events.
Career Opportunities
The music program mentors its students towards careers in
performance, studio teaching and other music related professions.
Additionally, students may view the music major as a pre-professional
degree (e.g. for careers such as law and medicine).

Programs Descriptions
Pacific Islands Studies is an interdisciplinary major. It focuses on
current issues of the lands and peoples of the Pacific Islands region. It
offers students the opportunity to learn skills in critical thinking, oral
presentation and research writing while understanding the Pacific
Islands in both a regional and global setting. Students of Pacific Islands
Studies are able to continue graduate study or enter the work force in a
variety of areas, where an intimate knowledge of Pacific issues can be
an advantage. This is especially enhanced when the student takes a
minor in another discipline.

Programs
Teacher Education offers Bachelor’s degrees in Elementary Education
and Secondary Education in approved majors (See Secondary
Education). Teacher Education also offers to in-state teacher’s post-
baccalaureate Basic Teacher Licensing program, and a state-approved
Alternative Licensing Program track for selected public school teachers
to earn their initial basic license.
In order to teach in a public school in most countries, as in the United
States, an individual must be issued a license to teach by the licensing
agency at the state or nation level. In each sovereign state, teacher
education programs must be approved by a designated agency
authorized to issue teacher licenses or approve the hiring of teachers.
In Hawai’i, teaching licenses are issued by the Hawai’i Teacher
Standards Board (HTSB). Students receive a recommendation for
teacher licensing from the School of Education at BYU–Hawaii after
successful completion of their state approved Teacher Education
Program, according to the licensing requirements established by the
HTSB. In international areas, teaching licenses generally require the
governmental review of the student’s transcript which details the
completed BYU–Hawaii School of Education teacher education
program and may additionally require, in some cases, the passing of a
national teacher examination.
As the university’s mission continues to expand internationally and in
order to attract more students into teacher education from
international locations, Teacher Education has developed a “3 + 1”
program in some international countries. Partnerships with education
departments internationally, make it possible for graduates in teacher
education from this campus to return to their country to student teach
and subsequently obtain employment as a teacher. The “3 + 1” allows
students to complete three years of their undergraduate program on
campus and the last year in student teaching in their home country.
In addition to institution accreditation review by the Western
Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the Teacher Education
Programs offered by Teacher Education are reviewed through a State
Approval of Teacher Education (SATE) evaluation that is coordinated
and conducted by the HTSB. In 2015, the School of Education was
accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation
(CAEP). SATE approval of the BYU–Hawaii School of Education
teacher education programs enables graduates to apply for teacher
licensing through reciprocity agreements held among many U.S. states
and countries.

classroom oriented knowledge base in a subject content area. Field
experiences are attached to most academic professional classes in the
School of Education, with the capstone experience being student
teaching for students working to teach in grades Kindergarten through
6th grade in public or private schools. The program provides the
opportunity for prospective teachers to learn about the culture of the
elementary school, develop a solid foundation in basic principles of
teaching and learning that originate in educational theory and
research, and become proficient in systematically applying those basic
principles in practical U.S. and international settings.
Career Opportunities
Students who complete the elementary education teaching program
are eligible to teach in the United States as well as other countries.
With an elementary education degree and experience as a classroom
teacher, individuals may also pursue other career opportunities in

administrators. Experience in any of those areas could then open other
career opportunities at the higher education level in teacher education
and administration. In addition, with a subject area content
background, individuals are also prepared to enter into a content
field. Non- teaching Track students may also use the degree for
graduate entrance or other professions requiring an education degree.

Post Baccalaureate Teacher Education
Programs - The Basic Teacher Licensing (5th
year program - Hawaii)
Intended for students with an earned baccalaureate degree from a
regionally accredited institution of higher education who desire to
teach in the Hawaii public school system but do not have the
initial basic teacher license. Individuals may apply for admission
to the elementary or secondary (see approved teaching majors
under “Secondary Education”) program as “licensing only”
students. Once admitted, the individual must complete the
requirements as outlined for the designated teacher-licensing
program.
The prerequisites for admission are:
• Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited institution.
• Grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
• Passing scores on the content area Praxis II exam(s), as
defined by the Hawai’i Teacher Standards Board (HTSB), for
the area in which the teacher licensing is being sought.
• A completed Teacher Education admissions packet.
• Application for admission into BYU–Hawaii on file with the
Admissions Office.
Alternative Licensing Program (Hawaii)
Individuals employed with the Hawai’i Department of Education in
critical shortage areas (subject and/or geographical) who are teaching
without the initial basic license may earn their teaching license through
the Teacher Education’s state approved Alternative Licensing Program
(ALP). This program allows the teacher to remain on the job and
complete the requirements leading towards the initial basic license.
Once accepted, the individual is supervised for one semester as a
student teacher. If the individual does not meet the performance
standards as established by the Hawai’i Teacher Standards Board, then
the Teacher Education has an option of prescribing no more than
fifteen semester hours of coursework to be completed. This
coursework would be prescribed, based on perceived deficiencies in
the performance standards required for the initial basic licensing. Once
any coursework prescribed is successfully completed, the individual is
recommended to the Hawai’i Teacher Standards Board for the initial
basic teacher license.
The prerequisites for recommendation are:
•
Official transcript verifying the Baccalaureate Degree was
earned from an accredited institution.
•
Minimum of two semesters of full-time teaching
responsibilities in the content area/field in which teacher
licensing is being sought.
•
A favorable letter of recommendation from a peer teacher.
•
A favorable letter of recommendation from the applicant’s
principal as well as the completed “Principal’s
Recommendation for Temporary Teachers” form.
•
A transcript evaluation to determine specific courses
needed, with a minimum of 2.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) on the
baccalaureate degree.
125
•
Successful completion of the Pre-Professional Skills Test
(PPST) for elementary and secondary applicants. In addition,
secondary education applicants must successfully complete
the content area Praxis exam(s) for the area on which teacher
licensing is being sought.

Career Opportunities and Graduate Study
Students who graduate with a Baccalaureate Degree in Social Work
(BSW) from BYU–Hawaii are prepared as generalist social work
practitioners. The beginning generalist practitioner assesses and works
with consumer populations including referrals to community
resources, guides consumer populations through the planned change
process, intervenes with individuals, families, groups, and the
community in a range of situations, conducts on-going evaluations,
and makes appropriate closure.
BSW practitioners are employed in a variety of direct practice settings
such as: state departments of human services, mental health and
developmental disabilities services, children’s service agencies,
halfway houses, nursing homes, area wide agencies on aging, agencies
serving battered women, rape crisis centers, child-care centers, etc. At
the practice setting, the generalist social work practitioner takes on
various roles such as: social broker, case manager, advocate, counselor,
mediator, and educator.
The social work program also prepares students for graduate study in
social work as well as service within their family, church, and
community. The knowledge, skills, values, and ethics gained from a
social work education can be well used both professionally and
personally, formally, and informally.
The Social Work Profession
The human experience is filled with good fortune as well as challenges
and difficulties. Sometimes we are unable to cope with or resolve
difficulties such as: poverty, marital conflict, parent-child relationship
problems, delinquency, abuse and neglect, substance abuse, and
mental/emotional stress. Social work is the profession that helps
individuals, groups, and communities enhance or restore their capacity
for social functioning and work towards social and economic justice
and peace.
The underpinnings of the social work profession include but are not
limited to: (1) social work values such as autonomy, non-judgmental
attitude, and the dignity, worth, and value of all human beings; (2)
social work knowledge about human behavior, research, the life cycle,
group dynamics, social policy, the ecological framework, human
diversity, the environment, etc.; (3) practice skills and paradigms for
working with multilevel populations such as preparing,
communicating, analyzing, contracting, role taking, and stabilizing;
and (4) planned change or an orderly approach to problem solving.
Accreditation
The BYU–Hawaii Social Work Program has been accredited by the
Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) continuously since 1978.
CSWE is the national organization that provides the leadership for
social work and monitors the quality for Bachelor of Social Work
(BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) degree programs in the
United States.
134
Social Work Student Association
Social work majors have the opportunity to be members of the Social
Work Student Association (SWSA). The SWSA provides social work
majors with representatives to provide input into the Social Work
Program decision-making process that effects students, the faculty,
and the curriculum. In addition, the SWSA helps to meet the bio-
psycho-social-spiritual well-being of social work majors. The Phi
Alpha Honorary Social Work Society is also available to social work
major who display academic and service excellence. Students are also
encouraged to join a professional organization such as the National
Association of Social Workers, the International Federation of Social
Workers, or a professional social work organization of their home
country.
Mission Statement
The program supports the overall mission of the University and The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by preparing culturally
competent, effective, and ethical social work professionals committed
to providing services to the poor, oppressed, and underserved. The
program also provides opportunities for students to take leadership
roles in supporting and promoting social justice and the social work
profession internationally by facilitating peace within individuals,
families, communities, and nations.
Programs
• B.S.W. in Social Work
• Introduction to Social Work Minor
• Social Work Minor
Program Goals
• To prepare students to be social work professionals and
competent generalist social work practitioners with
individuals, families, groups, communities, and societies.
• To prepare students to assist in the promotion of social
welfare, social justice, and peace within the appropriate
individual, family, political, cultural, and social context.
• To enhance personal development and change within
students.
• To promote the profession of social work in the international
arena.
• To prepare students for responsible leadership and
citizenship, family life, and church and community service.

and its application to social work practice.
Admission and Retention Standards
All students are required to apply for admission into the social work
program. Students are accepted into the social work major if they: a)
are at least first-semester sophomores, b) pass Social Work 160
Introduction to Social Welfare and Social Work with at least a C+, c)
have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5, d) have submitted an
application to major packet, and e) have been successfully interviewed
for admission into the major by the Admission Committee.
Social Work Major Application Packet
In order to be recognized as a regular social work major, a student
must complete a Social Work Major Application Packet which
includes: an Application, a Major Academic Plan (MAP using the
online tool MAPPER) completed with the assistance of the Academic
Advisor, a signed copy of the Standards for Social Work Students, a
letter of recommendation, a resume, and an Autobiography written by
the student.
Completed applications are due on the first Friday in March for spring
admission, the first Friday in June for fall admission, and the first
Friday in November for winter admission.
To download a copy of the application, please go to: http://
socialwork.byuh.edu/ or you may get a hard copy from the Social
Work program Administrative Assistant. Applications are to be
submitted to the administrative assistant.
When a student applies for acceptance into the social work program,
the student must be successfully interviewed by the Admission
Committee. During the interview, the Admission Committee will
ensure that the application packet is complete and that the applicant
has met the criteria for acceptance into the major. If the student does
not meet all requirements for admission, a letter will be sent explaining
the deficiency (ies) and what needs to be done before the student
reapplies. Students may be granted provisional status and will be
accepted into the major if all stipulations are met within the specified
time frame for full acceptance into the major.
All students who meet the minimum program academic requirements
are invited to apply to the major. No student will be denied admission
due to age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity,
culture, or national origin.
Required Curriculum
The student is to successfully complete five pre-requisite requirements
before being formally admitted into the Social Work Major. These pre-
requisite requirements are:
•
First semester sophomore status or at least 24 credit hours
•
Have completed Social Work 160 Introduction to Social
Welfare and Social Work with at least a C+
•
Have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5
•
Have submitted an Application to Major Packet
•
Has been accepted or provisionally accepted by the
Admission Committee
Fifty-six credit hours are required to graduate with a major in social
work. See Recommended Curriculum for a description of the courses
social work majors are required to pass. Only a C- or higher grade in
social work classes may be applied toward completion of the
Baccalaureate of Social Work (BSW) Degree.
There is also a recommended schedule for taking the required social
work classes. It is important that students make an appointment with
the social work Academic Advisor as soon as possible to develop a
Major Academic Plan (MAP) and to receive a copy of Social Work
Degree Requirements. The MAP is a personalized document
indicating when the student is to take all courses required for General
Education and the social work major for graduation. The student and
program are to adhere to the MAP for a timely graduation. The Social
135
Work Degree Requirements can be used to track the courses you have
taken and have yet to take to qualify for the BSW.
Field Education
The Field Education Program is an integral part of the generalist social
work program reserved for seniors majoring in social work at BYU–
Hawaii. Field education is comprised of a practicum and a seminar
that give students the opportunity to discuss how they infuse
knowledge, values, and skills at their agency. Students are expected to
be in their agencies 5 days a week averaging 30 hours per week.
Students should plan to not work and not take any other course
during their practicum. Regardless of the option selected, students are
required to obtain a minimum of 450 practicum hours, be supervised
by a professional social worker, be enrolled in a seminar, and be
placed in an agency-based social service setting.
Upon successful completion of the practicum and seminar
requirements, students receive 12 credit hours. Students are
responsible for finding an approved agency with assistance from the
Field Practicum Director. For more information concerning field
education, please read the Field Practicum Manual found at the
following link: http://socialwork.byuh.edu/
Transfer Students
Students who successfully complete courses at other universities may
have their courses evaluated by the University Registrar’s office for
acceptance at BYU–Hawaii.
Social work major courses are considered for acceptance if the
transferring university is accredited with the Council on Social Work
Education (CSWE). In the event the university is an international
school, transfer courses will be considered IF the accreditation
association is equivalent to CSWE. For example, if a student from
Australia takes courses in Social Work, their courses will be considered
for transfer if the school was accredited by the Australian Association
of Social Workers (AASW). The Social Work Program Director will
consult with faculty who teach comparable courses. The director will
make the final decision.
The burden will be upon the entering student to provide evidence of
courses equivalency, such as transcripts, course syllabi, program
accreditation, etc.
Life Experiences or Previous Work Experiences
While life experiences or previous work experiences may enhance
learning social work knowledge and skills, social work course credit is
not granted for these experiences.

EIL Program
The English as an International Language (EIL) program provides non-
native speakers of English with a variety of courses from intermediate
to advanced levels. Language instruction in these courses focuses on
the academic English students will need to succeed in their university
courses.
Non-native English-speaking students take a series of English
proficiency exams upon their arrival at BYU–Hawaii. The results of
these tests determine if students will need to enroll full-time or part-
time in EIL courses or if they will be exempt from EIL courses.
Students taking advanced level EIL courses may enroll in other
university courses as credit load allows under the guidance of the EIL
academic advisor. Students receive full credit towards graduation for
all EIL courses and may also apply for a minor in EIL (described
below).
Programs and Degrees

The Discipline
The discipline or profession of teaching English as a second language
is a fairly new one, dating back no more than 50 years. Historically,
the discipline has been seen as either a part of linguistics (applied),
English, or foreign language education. Taking insights from these
disciplines and others, teaching English to speakers of other languages
(TESOL) is now recognized as a distinct discipline with its own
professional organizations, journals, conferences, publishers, and
bodies of literature. Given the global influence of English-speaking
countries and peoples in the areas of entertainment, politics, and
technology, the demand for English is ever-increasing, thus creating a
fast-growing industry.
Programs and Degrees
• B.A. in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other
Languages)
• B.A. in TESOL Education
• Introduction to TESOL Minor
• Certificate in TESOL
• Introduction to Linguistics Minor
• Linguistics Minor
139
Program Outcomes
The purpose of the TESOL program is to prepare students to
confidently teach English to speakers of other languages within a
variety of settings (e.g. ESL, EFL, school, business) and to a variety of
student populations (e.g. children, adolescents, adults). In order to
accomplish this, we believe students need training in three broad
areas: knowledge, experience, and personal identity. The TESOL
program learning outcomes clarify these areas:
Knowledge
• Knowledge: Students can articulate a knowledge of human
language and how it is learned and taught.
Experience
• Students demonstrate they can apply what they have
learned within a teaching situation.
Professional Identity
• Students demonstrate a sense of professionalism through
improving personal language proficiency.
• Students participate in TESOL professional communities
and utilize TESOL resources.
• Students display a sense of self-awareness and efficacy by
demonstrating an understanding of what strengths and
weaknesses they bring to the TESOL professions and how
they can capitalize on their strengths and improve upon
their weaknesses.
Career Opportunities
With the high demand for English instruction around the world, there
are many career opportunities for those who are qualified in TESOL.
Public school systems in the U.S. and other English-speaking countries
find themselves with an increasing number of second language
speakers, due to high immigration patterns in Western industrialized
nations. Thus, there are many jobs available to those who are trained
and certified (See TESOL Education major for more information on
becoming “certified” or licensed to teach in the U.S. public school
system).
In addition to opportunities to teach in the public school systems of
English speaking countries, there are many jobs in other nations, both
in the public and private sectors. Many graduates in TESOL go on to
work for multinational corporations (English for Business Purposes),
or set up their own private language institutes.
Those who may not be interested in teaching may find that their
interests lie in materials development or computer software
development. Others find that their interests lie in pursuing further
education in various applied fields of linguistics, multicultural
education, speech pathology, educational psychology, testing and
assessment, counseling, instructional technology, or social services.
TESOL Program
David O. McKay made a prophetic statement when he referred to the
graduates of this school as international peace-makers. English is the
language of international communication in business, higher
education, science, technology, travel, as well as in the Church, and
hundreds of millions of people are in need of prepared English
language teachers.
The TESOL program at BYU–Hawaii is an established and much-
respected program that offers a major and a minor and a certificate.
The minor and certificate in TESOL are meant to complement most any
major on campus, adding an extra-major skill area to one’s portfolio
and marketability. The minor is particularly helpful to education
majors destined for U.S. public schools, while the Certificate is more
widely recognized in Asia. Coursework and training are greatly
enhanced by the campus environment (half the student population
claims some language besides English as their mother tongue). Our
graduates successfully secure admission into graduate programs and
teaching positions in places as diverse as North and South America,
Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific. They work with a
variety of students of varying ages and proficiency in both public and
private schools and in the work place. They teach immigrants,
refugees, prospective university students, business executives, as well
as secondary, elementary and preschool children.
At BYU–Hawaii, the TESOL program emphasizes practical preparation
for teaching and provides students with a variety of experiences
leading toward this goal. TESOL majors can strengthen their
professional preparation by choosing a minor in Linguistics,
Education, International Cultural Studies, English, or a foreign
language. Certifying to teach in American public schools is another
highly-recommended option (TESOL Education major).
Undergraduate experiences in the TESOL Society and employment at
the Language Center, the Reading/Writing Center, or in the ESL
Program (Continuing Education Dept.) complement coursework.
D credit is permitted for major classes, except for the TESOL Education
BA, unless specifically limited or prohibited.

Religion Requirements
The Board of Education of the Church Education System and for
Seminaries and Institute has recently approved four new courses that
will be the cornerstones for Religious Education at each of the Church
Universities and also in Seminaries and Institutes.
Fourteen hours of religion credit are required for all full-time students
to graduate.
• REL 200 The Eternal Family
• REL 225 Foundations of the Restoration
• REL 250 Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel
• REL 275 The Teachings and Doctrine of the Book of Mormon
(OR REL 121 + REL 122)
• + 3 Rel electives (one of which must be a scripture course)
All four cornerstone courses (or their equivalent) are required for
graduation from any of the Church Universities or from Institute.
(These equivalencies have been approved for all the Church
Universities for the next few years.)
All students must fulfill both Residency Hours and the Required
Content classes to graduate. For students that transfer to BYU–Hawaii
it is assumed that they will have fulfilled some of the Religion core
requirements from Institute or another CES University and will be
transferring them in. If they have completed the core they should not
repeat those classes.
Content Requirement
*ALL students must complete all four cornerstone classes to graduate
(can be transferred in or taken at BYU–Hawaii)
• REL 200 The Eternal Family
• REL 225 Foundations of the Restoration
• REL 250 Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel
• REL 275 The Teachings and Doctrine of the Book of Mormon
(or REL 121 + REL 122)

*For all students who are required to complete 12-14 residency credits,

Students from Other Faiths
Students who are members of other faiths are strongly encouraged to
enroll in REL 100 Introduction to Mormonism, during their first
semester in residence. This course is designed to be informational,
introducing students to the culture, scriptures, and distinctive
doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, thus
preparing them for subsequent religion classes.
Religion Credit from Non-LDS Colleges and
Universities
Religion credit from non-LDS universities and colleges will not satisfy
the religion requirement at BYU–Hawaii. The transfer credit may,
however, apply as elective credit toward the total hours required for
graduation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do courses offered at BYU–Hawaii that deal with religion or are
related to religion count for BYU–Hawaii religion credit?
No. Only courses with the REL designation receive religion credit.
Why can’t I take more than one religion class in a given semester?
It has always been the view of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints that education is not complete without proper integration
of secular and religious knowledge and values. Secular understanding
and skill are important attainments in life and will better serve the
individual when accompanied by religious convictions, attitudes, and
standards of behavior.
The Board of Trustees and Administration of BYU–Hawaii maintain
that a student should have a religious experience throughout their
undergraduate career. To prevent students from taking all their
religion classes at once to “get them over with,” the general policy is
that students may only register for one religion class per semester.
Exceptions may be granted for special circumstances, when requested
by the academic advisors.
How can I tell if I am “on course” for graduation?
You may refer to your progress report, which you can access anytime
through MAPPER. Your report will show which core religion classes
you have completed under the heading of “Religion Requirement.” It
will display either a YES or a NO next to each requirement, indicating
whether or not you have completed that core requirement. Below that,
it will show the “Religion Hours at BYU–Hawaii” that you have
completed. Here, you can see how many total residency religion hours
you are required to take, how many you have completed, how many
hours you are deficient, and how many you are currently registered
for.
Residency Requirements
What does the term “resident hours” mean?
“Resident hours” refers to the religion hours completed at BYU–
Hawaii while the student was pursuing a bachelor’s degree (“UG
Career”). Every student is required to complete a specific number of
religion hours during their undergraduate experience BYU–Hawaii
regardless of the number of religion credits completed elsewhere,
including courses taken from BYU–Hawaii Online in a DL program
before being accepted as a matriculated student pursing a bachelor’s
degree. Only BYU–Hawaii religion courses taken in the UG Career
fulfill the “residency” requirement. There are no exceptions.
152
How many “resident” religion hours are required to graduate from
BYU–Hawaii?
If you have taken all your coursework at BYU–Hawaii or transferred
fewer than 15 hours of credits from any other institution, you are
required to take a minimum of 14 hours of religion at BYU–Hawaii
(resident hours) to graduate.
If, however, you have transferred 15 or more hours of credit from
another institution to BYU–Hawaii (or from BYU–Hawaii Online DL
classes offered by BYU–Hawaii to students not pursuing a bachelor’s
degree), the number of religion hours required to take at BYU–Hawaii
(resident hours) is listed below:

*More credits may be needed if the subject matter requirement has not
been completed.
Why does BYU–Hawaii have a “residency” requirement for religion
courses?
Since BYU–Hawaii grants the undergraduate degree, it is felt that
students should take courses at BYU–Hawaii to have the “BYU–
Hawaii experience.” While one may argue that other religion courses
provide the same quality and depth as BYU–Hawaii religion courses,
the point is not quality but sponsorship. It is expected that BYU–
Hawaii students have a BYU–Hawaii experience. Thus, residency
ensures that BYU–Hawaii students will be afforded the experience of
which they sought admittance.
Do BYU-Idaho or BYU religion courses count towards the
“residency” religion requirement at BYU–Hawaii?
No. Only religion courses taken at BYU–Hawaii count towards the
religion residency requirement for graduation.
Do Institute classes count towards the “residency” religion
requirement at BYU–Hawaii?
No. Only religion courses taken at BYU–Hawaii count towards the
religion residency requirement for graduation.
What if I am not a transfer student but I take an institute course
while I am at home during the summer? Will this course fulfill
my “residency” requirement?
No. If the course is taken for credit, meets the CES Institute standards,
corresponds with an existing BYU–Hawaii religion course, and if your
institute sends an official transcript to the Admissions Office at BYU–
Hawaii, then the institute class will count as two hours towards your
total university hours. It may also fill part of your “core” requirement.
For example, a New Testament institute class may fill your core
requirement to take New Testament. However, it will not count
towards the “residency” requirement at BYU–Hawaii.
Institute / Transfer Credits
Do religion courses taken from an Institute, BYU-Idaho, or BYU
count as a religion subject matter credit?
Yes. Corresponding Institute, stake institute, BYU–Idaho and BYU
courses may fulfill the subject matter religion credits at BYU–Hawaii.
Such courses do not, however, fulfill the “residency” religion
requirement. (See Core Requirements)
Do institute credits transferred to BYU–Hawaii affect my GPA?
No. All institute credits transferred to BYU–Hawaii are accepted only
as pass/fail grades.
Do Institute or Stake Institute classes count towards the “residency”
religion requirement at BYU–Hawaii?
No. Only religion courses taken at BYU–Hawaii count towards the
religion residency requirement for graduation.
Do BYU-Idaho or BYU religion courses count towards the
“residency” religion requirement at BYU–Hawaii?
No. Only religion courses taken at BYU–Hawaii count towards the
religion residency requirement for graduation.
What is the difference between “Stake Institute classes” and
“Institute classes?” Do they count for BYU–Hawaii credit?
Stake Institute classes were created to provide religious instruction for
those not directly affiliated with a college or university. CES (Church
Education System) encourages college and university students to take
religion courses from the program affiliated with their
college/university. Ideally, a student at the University of Texas, for
example, would take courses at the university institute; a BYU–Hawaii
student would take religion courses at BYU–Hawaii, etc. Qualified
stake institute courses receive institute credit and thus could be
transferred to BYU–Hawaii. Like any religion course from another
institution, they may fulfill the “core” requirement but they do not
fulfill the residency hour requirement at BYU–Hawaii.
What does it mean to take an Institute course for “transfer credit?”
A student who desires to transfer institute credit must contact the
institute instructor at the beginning of the semester/term and request
to take the course for credit. This requires the student to complete the
academic requirements of the course (exams, assignments, etc.) for
transfer credit. The only grade accepted for transfer to BYU–Hawaii is
Pass/Fail.
How does an Institute course appear on my BYU–Hawaii transcript?
When?
Your Institute director or instructor must send an official “Institute
Transcript” to the Admissions Office at BYU–Hawaii. After they
receive it, the course is reviewed and posted on a BYU–Hawaii
transcript within two or three days.
Do religion courses offered from other universities (except religion
requirement at BYU–Hawaii?
No. For example, New Testament taught at Baylor does not have the
same emphasis as New Testament at BYU–Hawaii, and will therefore
not receive any religion credit nor fulfill the core requirement at BYU–
Hawaii. (See Core Requirements)
153
Are qualifying religion courses transferred from another BYU–
Hawaii?
No. Because institute courses are transferred only as Pass/Fail, they do
not affect a BYU–Hawaii GPA.
However, DL classes transferred in from BYU–Hawaii Online will
affect a BYU–Hawaii GPA.

The Discipline
Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living
organisms. All interactions and processes in biological systems are, at
their foundation, chemical in nature and thus are governed by
biochemistry. It is a dynamic and highly relevant field at the
intersection of biology and chemistry and includes the study of the
structures, functions, interactions, metabolism/ catabolism, transport,
and combinations of biological molecules. Biochemistry majors
154
develop a strong foundation in the principles of chemistry and apply
those principles to the study of living systems.
Career Opportunities
Biochemistry has an ever-growing range of applications including
biotechnology, bioinformatics, pharmaceuticals and medical sciences,
bio-fuels and energy research, food science, toxicology, environmental
and agricultural sciences, and even forensic science. The field of
biochemistry, positioned at the intersection of chemistry, biology and
physics, provides opportunities for collaboration and cooperation
between numerous disciplines. Our graduates find employment in
various clinical and industrial labs. Many of our students continue on
to graduate programs in a variety of biochemistry- related fields. A
high percentage of our pre-professional students are successfully
placed in professional programs such as medical, dental and
pharmaceutical schools. For more information visit this page from the
American Chemical Society webpage.

and biological principles and laws governing nature and life
itself.
• Perform essential laboratory techniques, and employ
scientific principles and laboratory skills to solve scientific
problems.
• Convey scientific ideas and knowledge clearly and
professionally, in both written and oral forms.
• Analyze and evaluate relevant scientific literature.
Students Interested in Healthcare Professions
The Biochemistry and Biology programs offer excellent preparation for
students interested in continuing their education at professional
schools (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, optometry, etc.). Students who
are interested in becoming healthcare professionals should carefully
study the requirements of their desired professional programs and
meet with the academic advisor and the pre-healthcare faculty advisor
(Dr. Lukov) early in their undergraduate career to prepare a proper
course of study.

is placed on providing opportunities for students to participate in
meaningful research in areas such as anatomy, genetics, physiology,
molecular biology, evolution, natural history, and marine biology. This
major seeks to prepare students for professional careers in teaching,
government service, industry, research, and the medical professions.
Career Opportunities
With further education, career opportunities for Biomedical Science
graduates include medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry,
chiropractic, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, physician assistant, and
other allied health professions. General Biology majors can utilize their
degree to obtain careers in areas such as wildlife management, forestry
conservation, environmental quality consulting, technical work, and
park services. Students interested in aquaria, ocean conservation,
marine research, and fisheries can use Marine Biology to prepare them
for entrance into these fields. The study of Molecular Biology major
has particular value for students preparing for jobs in genetics,
consulting, research, forensics, and bioinformatics. The Biology
Education Program, a cooperative program with Teacher Education, is
designed to prepare teachers to teach Biology in junior high or high
school.
All Biology Major tracks provide opportunities for a variety of post-
baccalaureate studies.

The Discipline
Psychology is the study of the human mind, emotions, and behavior.
Psychologists observe and record the way humans and animals
communicate and relate to each other and to their environments. They
observe behavior, make predictions, and test hypotheses scientifically.
Psychology seeks to answer important questions concerning human
identity, feelings, and the reasons for behavior.
Career Opportunities
Many psychology majors go on to do graduate work in psychology
and other fields. Others work in business, particularly in personnel
work. Others engage in varieties of social service, teaching, and
administration. Psychologists engage in a variety of academic roles as
teachers, researchers, and administrators and also provide counseling,
clinical, and consulting services to individuals and organizations.
Psychologists are employed by colleges and universities, public and
private schools, clinics, and hospitals. They work in private practice
and for corporations and government entities. The study of
psychology has particular value for family life and for civic and
cultural roles generally. The psychology major provides a well-
informed perspective on human and organizational behavior in
preparation for occupations in law enforcement, law, or business.
Most professional positions require a master’s or doctoral degree,
although a bachelor’s degree may be sufficient to gain employment in
high school teaching, mental health care, detention and probation
services, auxiliary social work, personnel, or human resources.
Further, the psychology major gives students a particularly strong
background leading to graduate study in business, law, or medicine.
Programs and Degrees
• B.S. in Psychology Clinical/Counseling Track
• B.S. in Psychology General/Experimental Track
• Psychology Minor
• Organizational Behavior Minor
Program Outcomes
Upon completing a major in Psychology, students will:
• Write effectively using the American Psychological
Association Style.
• Communicate effectively in presentation situations.
• Demonstrate an understanding and awareness of differences
among peoples.
• Use technology effective. Demonstrate a knowledge and
understanding of psychological theories and principles.
• Understand and apply ethical principles, particularly those

Interdisciplinary Studies
Faculty
The Interdisciplinary Studies major program is overseen by the Deans
Council with the Primary Area Dean as the point person.
Student applications are approved by the Dean over the primary
discipline selected. Please see an academic advisor and faculty advisor
to begin the process of developing an IDS major proposal.
The Discipline
The Interdisciplinary Studies major effectively allows the student to
propose a customized, interdisciplinary program leading to a
Bachelor’s degree. Students who wish to pursue an IDS major should
plan to declare this major before reaching 75 credit hours. The program
is designed to be flexible within certain limits. This is not a collection
of courses that together have neither meaning nor focus.
Career Opportunities
The choice of this type of degree needs to be carefully considered in
relation to what career opportunities it will provide. Because of its
interdisciplinary nature, it may not lead to job or graduate school
opportunities which require a rigorous, structured course load in a
single subject. Please discuss this with your faculty advisor. The
student has the opportunity to show how their proposal will meet this
criterion in their proposal.
Programs and Degrees
B.A. or B.S. Interdisciplinary Studies, with the emphasis areas to be
listed on the transcript
Recent interdisciplinary majors that have been approved include:
• Art/Communications
• Business/Communications
• Business/Technical Writing
• Communication/Tourism
• Education/Information Systems

student’s final semester such as an independent study course (390R),
internship (399R), or as student research (496R) depending on its
nature. The capstone experience must meet the following criteria:
• It must be clearly relevant to the proposed curriculum and it
must integrate the area of primary academic emphasis and
the supporting area(s).
• It must approximate the academic rigor of a senior- level
capstone course.
• It must be approved in advance by the Dean of the area of
primary focus, and the report/ results evaluated by that

emphasis to create your M.A.P. and finalize your
application.
• Submit your completed proposal and all required
attachments to the Dean over the primary discipline for final
approval. (Note: The final approval may take as long as one
month. Submit your proposal early.)
General Education Options
Students pursuing the IDS major who opt for the 2017 General
Education program will need two minors or certificates (short
programs) in addition to their primary and secondary emphases. Of
those four areas of emphasis (primary, secondary, SP1, SP2) three of
them need to be in different breadth areas. The primary and secondary
emphases can count as separate breadth areas, but they cannot replace
the need for two additional curricular programs in addition to what is
in the IDS major.
Financial Assistance
Interdisciplinary Studies is a recognized major, but does not belong to
one particular program. Students who excel academically are
encouraged to apply to the program of their primary emphasis for
scholarship assistance. Please contact your primary emphasis program
to learn more about their award process and applicable deadlines.
Students who graduate with an Interdisciplinary Studies major attend
the graduation banquet of the program that signs their proposal.

The Joseph F. Smith Library is a key resource for students and faculty
at BYU–Hawaii. There are three important ways that the library
contributes to the mission of the university: by providing an
environment that fosters study and scholarship, by providing a
collection of current and accessible information resources, and by
providing excellent services that support instruction, scholarship and
learning.
At the library students and faculty will find both individual and group
study areas. Many of the study areas are equipped with the technology
tools to support research and other scholarly pursuits. Having the
technology in the library gives students the ability to use all of the
information resources of the library including books, journals, and
digital resources. An excellent collection of information resources is
available through the library. Special collections include the Pacific
Islands Research Room, the Curriculum Library, and the University
Archives.
To access these collections the Joseph F. Smith Library offers up-to-
date electronic data information retrieval systems for the catalog and
databases that support BYU–Hawaii academic areas. The library’s
website provides information about its collections and services. An
extensive section is devoted to electronic information available at
BYU–Hawaii and around the world. Remote access to the libraries’
electronic resources is available to BYU–Hawaii students and faculty.
Library services are another important resource for students and
faculty. Services include reference services, computerized
search/research and bibliographic services, a special reserves service,
circulation of print and non-print materials, interlibrary loan as well as
personalized and customized library instruction.
Testing Center
Located in McKay Building, room 115, the BYU–Hawaii Testing Center
operates to enhance the educational experience by allowing students to
take course examinations outside the classroom in a quiet, user
friendly environment.

Testing Association (NCTA) and are certified to administer national
tests. This includes LSAT, Praxis, Pearson VUE, and ACT-Residual

the community. In addition, foreign language challenge tests are given

Services in Provo. The Testing Center also administers English and

1 PURPOSE
Brigham Young University–Hawaii (“BYU–Hawaii” or “university”) is committed to maintaining an
environment where all feel safe to carry out the university’s mission and vision. In certain
circumstances, a student may need to transition to an environment that is more conducive to
his/her needs when it becomes clear that remaining at the university is not in the best interest of
the student or the campus community.
2 POLICY
BYU–Hawaii allows for a student to take a leave of absence voluntarily when medical conditions,
psychological distress, make the leave in the student’s best interest. In such situations, the
university will work with the student to define the length of separation and the path for the
student’s return. Under certain circumstances, a student who has not opted to take a leave
voluntarily, but who poses a credible substantial risk of harm to individuals within the campus
community or who substantially impedes the lawful activities of other members of the campus
community or the educational processes or functions of the university, may be subject to an
involuntary withdrawal as set forth herein.
3 IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 Voluntary Leaves of Absence
3.1.1 Single-Semester Leave
Students who have completed at least one year (three consecutive semesters) of study at BYU-
Hawaii may apply for a one-semester leave of absence if they can demonstrate that returning
out of the normal sequence would not impact their regular progress toward graduation within
the four-year limit. Students are expected to attend classes during all three semesters each
year. The request for a one-semester leave and the plan for returning must be approved by the
Dean of Students. Rules and regulations applicable to international visa holders may prohibit
voluntary leaves under this section. Students who take a leave under this section may lose
priority in housing and will not be eligible for a partial or complete refund of tuition and/or fees.
3.1.2 Voluntary Leave for Medical/Psychological Reasons
Students or the university may initiate a voluntary leave or withdrawal from the university for up
to two consecutive semesters for medical or psychological reasons. The request for a leave
under this section must be approved by the Dean of Students, who may require supporting
documentation of the student’s condition from an independent and objective health
professional. In considering a request for a leave under this section, the Dean of Students may
also consult with members of the university’s Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) or other
members of university administration.
Addendum (added to the Catalog 6-30-2020)
2
If a voluntary leave is approved, prior to the leave the Dean of Students will prepare leave
documentation that specifies: (a) the anticipated duration of the leave; (b) conditions or
restrictions for return which are designed to assist the student to succeed in the university
environment; and (c) options for extension, if any. In general, voluntary leaves under this section
must fit within four years. However, the Dean of Students may extend that time if warranted
subject to the policies of the institution, in addition to the voluntary leave, arrangements may be
made for: partial or complete refund of tuition and/or fees; deferral of scholarships or loans
(e.g., IWORK); incomplete grades or other academic accommodations; and/or modifications to
dining and/or housing contracts. Rules and regulations applicable to international visa holders
may prohibit or limit voluntary leaves under this section.
Moreover, students who require an extended leave (i.e., more than two consecutive semesters),
may be required to fully withdraw from the university.
3.1.3 Involuntary Withdrawal
The BIT has authority to involuntarily withdraw a student from the university according to the
procedures set forth below. The involuntary withdrawal process is administrative in nature and
does not follow formal rules of evidence typically applicable in judicial proceedings. A student
may be subject to an involuntary leave or withdrawal if the student:
a. poses a credible substantial risk of harm to individuals within the university
community; or
b. substantially impedes the lawful activities of other members of the campus
community or the educational processes or functions of the university.
Any member of the university community who has reason to believe that a student meets the
above criteria may contact the Dean of Students or the BIT. All reports made pursuant to this
policy will be handled in a confidential manner, to the extent possible, with information released
to others on a need-to-know basis according to applicable federal and state laws and
regulations.
3.2 Individualized Assessment
In determining whether a student presents a credible substantial risk of harm to individuals
within the university community, the BIT in a timely manner will make an individualized
assessment of the individual based on a reasonable judgment that relies upon current medical or
other specialized knowledge and available objective evidence to ascertain:
- the nature, duration, and severity of the risk of harm;
- the probability that potential injury and/or harm will occur;
- the imminence of the potential harm;
- whether the student has substantially impeded the educational process or functions of
other members of the University community; and
- whether reasonable modifications to policies, practices, or procedures could significantly
mitigate the risk of harm.
3
As part of the individualized assessment by the BIT, the student may be required to undergo an
evaluation, including a medical or psychological evaluation, by an objective health professional,
including from the university’s Counseling Services (or a licensed professional counselor, social
worker, licensed clinical social worker, etc.) or a member of the BIT, designated by the university.
The student may also be required to execute necessary releases so the evaluation report may be
provided to members of the BIT and other administrators, if appropriate, for the purpose of
determining whether the student should be subject to an involuntary withdrawal.
Students referred or mandated for evaluation will be informed so in writing. The evaluation must
be completed per the direction of the referral letter unless the BIT grants an exception. A
student who fails to complete the evaluation in accordance with these procedures may be
referred for conduct action under the Honor Code.
In addition, in making the individualized assessment, the BIT may consider any medical or other
relevant information, including information submitted by the student, such as but not limited to
a medical or psychological evaluation by a health professional of the student’s choice.
3.2.1 Disabilities
As part of the individualized assessment, the BIT may also consider an individual’s past and
ongoing condition, which may have contributed to the risk of harm that is in question. The BIT
may coordinate with Disability Services or other resources, as needed, to determine if the
student is a qualified individual with a disability and if an appropriate, reasonable
accommodation would allow that student to meet his/her essential academic and university
responsibilities, while abating the risk of harm and maintaining a safe campus environment.
3.2.2 Decision regarding Involuntary Withdrawal
A decision regarding involuntary withdrawal made by the BIT must be set forth in a written
decision stating the rationale for its determination. The decision will be delivered to the student
directly, electronically, and/or by mail. If the determination is made that a withdrawal is
warranted, the notification will include information regarding the length of the withdrawal and,
to the extent appropriate and practicable, any conditions of reinstatement.
3.2.3 Appeal Process
The determination of involuntary withdrawal by the BIT is subject to appeal to the Vice President
of Student Development & Services. A student seeking an appeal must deliver a written petition
for review to the Vice President within three (3) business days of issuance of the BIT’s written
decision.
Appeals of involuntary withdrawals will only be considered for one or more of the following
allegations:
• The outcome of the individualized assessment is clearly contrary to the preponderance of
the evidence.
• A procedural error significantly impacted the fairness or outcome of the assessment (e.g.,
a substantiated bias or material deviation from the procedures outlined in this policy).
4
• New evidence, unavailable during the original assessment, has been discovered that
could substantially impact the original outcome. This new evidence and an explanation of
its potential impact must be included in the request for review.
• The involuntary withdrawal imposed is substantially disproportionate to the severity of
the threat (i.e., too severe) evidenced to the BIT.
Except as required to explain the basis of new information unavailable at the time of the BIT’s
review, review of a determination will be limited to the record of the initial assessment and/or all
supporting documents. The review and appeal decision of the Vice President of Student
Development & Services is final with no further recourse and shall consist of: (a) upholding the
withdrawal; (b) vacating the withdrawal/reinstating the student; or (c) modifying the conditions
for the student’s reinstatement. On appeal, the BIT’s decision of involuntary withdrawal shall be
presumed to be reasonable and appropriate, and the student shall have the burden of
establishing that the BIT’s decision was, instead, reached in clear error.
3.2.4 Readmission Following an Involuntary Withdrawal
A student who is seeking reinstatement to the university after an involuntary withdrawal must
receive clearance from the Dean of Students by providing the Dean of Students with written
evidence from a licensed medical or mental health professional that the student is no longer a
direct threat to others and is otherwise qualified to participate in the university’s educational
programs. Any other conditions outlined in accordance with this policy and/or any conduct
sanctions must also be completed. For example, as one of the conditions of reinstatement, the
student may be required to provide the university with a written report from a medical
provider(s) that addresses whether the student: (a) has complied with his/her specified
treatment plan(s); (b) is ready to return to the unstructured, and sometimes stressful,
environment of the university; and/or (c) has specifically addressed the issues and challenges
that led him/her to be withdrawn from school. The Dean of Students may consult with the BIT on
the determination of reinstatement.
3.2.5 Other Conditions
Nothing in this policy shall be interpreted to prohibit the BIT from requiring a student who meets
the above criteria set forth in Section 3.2(a) or (b) to meet other behavioral conditions or
actions, short of an involuntary leave of absence, in order to remain at the university. Such
conditions could include, but are not limited to: meeting with the Dean of Students and/or
another member of the BIT; attending counseling; probation; or fulfilling a behavioral contract.
Failure to fulfill such condition(s) could lead to the BIT requiring an involuntary leave of absence
under this policy.
3.3 Full Withdrawal
Students who elect to fully withdraw (i.e., discontinue enrollment), rather than take a leave of
absence, are required to reapply for admission after the time specified by the Office of
Admissions and will be treated as any other applicant for admission at that time, including the
requirement to have a current ecclesiastical endorsement and to be in good honor code
standing.
5
3.4 Reporting
All members of the BYU-Hawaii community are encouraged to be alert to the possibility of
violent or disruptive acts on the part of students, staff, faculty, or others, and to report such
behaviors. Anyone who observes or experiences threatening or potentially threatening conduct
should report the conduct to Report a Concern on the university homepage, the university’s
EthicsPoint Hotline (888-238-1062), or by contacting the BYU-Hawaii Department of Public
Safety (808-675-3911), or the Dean of Students (808-675-8645). Serious disruptive or
threatening behavior, property damage, or other illegal activity should be reported immediately
to Honolulu Police (911).
