| What is this about "graduating" from Institute? |
| It's true. When you attain 14 credits, including first and second half of the Book of Mormon and 6 more credits of scripture based classes, you will graduate from Institute with a Diploma. After graduating you can then work toward an "Advanced Certificate" accruing additional credits. There is no limit to the number of Advanced Certificates you may receive. (The record stands at 5 right now.) These awards represent a continued effort to make religious education a priority in your life. They will also be useful for intimidating your children into attending early morning seminary. :) |
