Escrow/Vertical Credit

What are the escrow credits? Escrow credit is a method of academic adjustment that allows a block of credit to be granted for previous learning. The escrow credits are granted upon completion of Nursing 327 and Nursing 340. The 6 escrow credits are upper division, and will count towards your 15 upper division credits needed for graduation and for residency.

You must print the Escrow Credit Application, complete it, attach a copy of your transcript and send or take it to the Department of Nursing, Clarke 102, Rexburg, ID 83460-0620. The escrow credits cost $15 for .5 - 3 credits and $5 each for additional credits after that, and will be billed to your account. Your escrow credits will appear on your transcript as NURS 331.

Overriding areas of concern for the Department of Nursing includes: 1) demonstrating the BYU-Idaho Honor Code in all behaviors and 2) providing safety for self and others consistently. Violation of an overriding area of concern will result in dismissal from the nursing program.

The Department of Nursing fully supports the university policy on academic honesty (see catalog: Academic Probation, Dismissal). Cheating, dishonesty, plagiarism or misrepresenting a situation in any way will constitute a violation that will result in dismissal from the nursing program. A student dismissed from the program due to violation of one of the overriding areas of concern is not permitted to reapply to the nursing program.
