Criminal History

Statement of Policy 

This policy applies to all online BYU-Pathway Worldwide programs (EnglishConnect 3, PathwayConnect, and Online Certificates and Degrees).

BYU-Pathway Worldwide retains discretion in making or rescinding admission decisions. Applicants must indicate in the admission application if they have unresolved legal restrictions, obligations, or fines from any crime for which they have been convicted, pled guilty, or been found responsible (other than minor traffic violations). Failure to do so may result in denial of admission or dismissal from the institution.

Applicants with unresolved legal restrictions or obligations, including being listed on a sex offender registry, are generally ineligible for online programs delivered via BYU-Pathway Worldwide.

Applicants who have fully resolved all legal restrictions, obligations, and fines associated with any previous criminal convictions are not required to disclose that information on the admission application.
