What is the application process like?

If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you have to apply using the church account that has your Membership Record Number (MRN) associated with it*. For members who apply to PathwayConnect from an account without their MRN attached or for those who create more than one Pathway account, please contact your Peer Mentor.

Resume Application
If you exit the application before finishing, you can return to the application and click on “Apply Now”. The application will save the information you have previously entered.

For more help, see this tutorial: How to Apply to PathwayConnect

See article PC - Returning Students for information regarding students who took PathwayConnect courses in the past and would like to return.

See article PC - Course Registration for students in their 2nd & 3rd terms wanting to register for next term.

See article PC - Dates and Deadlines for students who want to know important deadlines and what to do if they applied after the deadline.

The personal information page collects the necessary information to apply to PathwayConnect. The student is required to provide:

Some of the above information may be auto populated from their church account. Corrections to their personal information can be made within the student portal after successfully completing the application and being admitted.

The applicant’s name and birthdate are usually populated from their church account. If an applicant’s name or birthdate displays incorrectly and they cannot edit it, the applicant likely needs to have it corrected on the church account. Members may need to contact their local unit clerk for assistance (See PC - Personal Information Change ).

If an applicant experiences technical issues preventing them from entering their location information, go straight to the “Troubleshooting & Escalating Tickets” section and follow the directions under the heading “ Technical Support" Queue .

Applicants should provide an active email address that has not already been used on another application or by another applicant. Applicants may receive an error stating that the email they provided is already in use. If this occurs, the applicant has either started another application previously or another applicant has already used that email address.

• Ask the student if they have started an application previously. If yes, ask them to continue the first application to prevent duplicate accounts.
• If another applicant has already used that email address:
  • If they believe they know the individual who has already used that email (maybe a family member or friend), they may see if that student/applicant is willing to change their email address so that they can continue with the application process. IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances can we provide information or the enrollment status of another student who shares the same email with another student (See PC - Confidentiality of Student Records (FERPA) ). Simply explain that another student may have used that email already and explain their options to them (Have the other person change their email or use a different email)
  • If none of the above solutions work, the applicant will need to use a different email address not already in use.
  Created Another Account Previously: Email Verification
  • If the applicant is a non-member or a member who has not applied from an account without their MRN attached, they will be required to verify their email address before continuing.
    • This is done through email that is sent to the applicant’s email address. If the applicant does not receive the verification email, ensure they typed their email correctly and encourage them to check their spam/junk folder.
    • If the student does need to create 2 accounts they will need to merge the duplicate accounts See: PC - Duplicate Accounts/Merging
    Information Employee Procedure Violent or Sexual Convictions

    Applicants who have been convicted of a violent and/or sexual crime are able to continue with the application, but upon finishing the application are placed under manual review instead of being admitted. The Enrollment Services--PathwayConnect team reviews these applicants and determines whether they meet admission requirements. If there is not sufficient information to make a decision, the Enrollment Services--PathwayConnect team will send a follow-up email requesting additional information. The applicant must respond with all requested information for their admission to be considered. Applicants who do not complete this process before the priority deadline might be required to apply again later for a future term.

    To verify whether an applicant is under manual review, check the applicant’s account in Path. If an orange triangle with an exclamation mark is displayed next to the “Enrollment” tab, the applicant is currently under manual review.

    Do NOT tell the student they are under manual review, but that a request for additional documentation has been sent to their email and for them to fill out the information.

    • If the student has filled out the documentation , but the student has not been admitted yet, send a ticket to the Enrollment Services-- PathwayConnect team (ESPC Queue) to follow up.
