- high school graduate (or equivalent)
- at least a 2.0 GPA
- at least 17 years old by the first day of class

What’s Next?
After we receive your application and ecclesiastical endorsement, you will receive a status notification by email within 3 business days. If you have not heard back, please contact us at flexge@byu.edu. In the meantime, start working through the How to FlexGE guides so you are ready to succeed. They will show you everything you need from how to plan your classes, where to live, class registration, and more!
When Should I Enroll in FlexGE?
Although you can apply to the FlexGE program until a week before classes start, we highly recommend you do it before class registration begins so you can get into the classes you want before they fill up.
