Medical Deferment | Admissions | BYU-Idaho

# Medical Deferment

The medical deferment is used to help students deal with medical issues that prevent attendance during an assigned semester.

## Conditions & Qualifications

Students must be admitted to, and have attended, their first semester at BYU-Idaho.

Deferments of any type may not be used in consecutive semesters.

Students who have an Honor Code restriction or did not attend their previous on-track semester do not qualify.

Students who plan to interrupt their studies for more than one semester should contact BYU-Idaho at (208) 496-1411 to discuss enrollment options.

Students must have a current ecclesiastical endorsement on file with the Student Honor Office in order to defer.

Following the deferred semester, students must re-enroll at the university for the next available semester of their assigned track.

## Instructions to the Applicant

## About Ben

I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and then came to Rexburg, Idaho to earn a BS in Elementary Education at BYU-Idaho. I later earned a MS in Educational Theory and Practice from Arkansas State. I taught in public schools for a bit and am now stoked to be helping prospective students learn about BYU-Idaho. I have 5 really cool kids and a great wife. Besides parenting, my hobbies are fixing stuff and being outdoors camping, climbing, hiking, and fishing.

## About Erika

Hi y'all! Growing up in Texas, my small-town, southern heart adored my experience as a communication student at BYU-Idaho! And I loved it so much I wanted to come back to work here! My mother always instilled in me the importance of obtaining a higher education, and I want to share that learning with those around me.

You can find me laughing with my future husband as we walk around Rexburg, getting a great view of the Rexburg temple!

While in college, I adored the things I learned from students as I worked for Especially For Youth and I learned how much the Lord needs the youth, which means He especially needs YOU!

## About Katie

Hello! I grew up in Idaho Falls, Idaho, about 30 minutes away from the BYU-Idaho Campus. I spent a lot of my childhood playing sports in the BYU-Idaho Center courts and hanging out with my family in the Rexburg area! A love for BYU-Idaho was instilled in me at a young age. I have loved my experience as a student at BYU-Idaho studying business management with a certificate in event planning.

Outside of work and school, you can find me hiking in the Tetons, playing pickleball, skiing, writing songs, or going on walks with my husband.

## About Kendra

I am incredibly fortunate to call Idaho my home and to have had the opportunity to work as an advocate for students and their experiences at BYU-Idaho for the past 15 years. My journey as a non-traditional student provided a solid foundation for understanding the challenges many students face while striving to complete their educational goals.

While I cherished my time as a student at BYU-Idaho, the joy of helping students realize their potential and uncover unexpected possibilities within themselves far surpasses it. There is nothing quite like witnessing a student's transformative experience and knowing I've played a part in it.

Outside of work, I have an amazing family that I love spending time with, exploring all the wonderful things Idaho has to offer. In my free time, I enjoy hiking (and have some great local trail recommendations), biking, gardening, skiing, and generally being outdoors as much as the weather permits.

## About Natalie

I grew up in Utah but spent part of my teenage years in Finland where I was the only member in my school (talk about testimony-building experiences). I studied German and international relations at BYU and worked in Washington, D.C. for a while. I also have a Master's degree in public administration from BYU. I have worked for universities pretty much all my life, including BYU, UVU, a couple of universities in Oklahoma, and now BYU-Idaho. I love working with prospective BYU-I students because they have so much energy and enthusiasm for the future.

I served a mission to Germany and have been a Ma on pioneer trek twice and lived to tell about it.

I have a wonderful husband who also works for BYU-I, two children, one currently a BYUI student, and two dogs we rescued from a shelter. We love to hike, bike, run, backpack, ski, snowboard, travel, and do anything outside.

## About Tim

I was born and raised in Idaho, served an LDS Mission to Chile, married my beautiful wife Lisa, and settled down in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to raise our family of five. After 22 years in the Financial Services industry, I joined BYU-Idaho as the University Chaplain and have been in that position during my entire time at BYU-Idaho. In addition to my work with BYU-Idaho, I spend most of my free time serving in church leadership positions, spoiling my 14 grandchildren, reading every book I can find to get lost in, and enjoying the great outdoors. My biggest hobby would be Sports Broadcasting, where I am entering my 20th year as a well known local PA announcer for many sports teams and as a play-by-play announcer for an internet broadcast company.
