Thanks for any responses. I in no way would have taken back my confession in order to graduate from BYU this December. Yes that would be dishonest. I had a good idea before I confessed what the consequences would be. I'm sad but grateful I have the chance to at least graduate from BYU in the long run. Obviously I wish I regret my mistakes but I know that disfellowship will be a blessing in the long run. I'm going to call the BYU honor code office to see if I can possibly take a similar class at a nearby college and possibly graduate in April from BYU when my disfellowship is over.

Yeah. I'm not in any disagreement with the original time of disfellowship being one year. Whatever the time frame that is required to reach a complete change of heart. But, still, out of curosity, I was just wondering if anyone had experience where they were disfellowshipped for a certain amount of time and then later the original time was reduced. I will graduate eventually. It will all work out. Just wondering what the church policy was. I know excommunication has a minimum time frame of one year. i don't know if that's true for disfellowship

I'm not sure. In order to take classes at BYU I need an ecclesiastical endorsement which I cant get when I am disfellowshipped. I'm not kicked out of BYU, I''m just ineligible to take classes at the moment because I have no ecclesiastical endorsement. I might be able to take the classes at UVU and then graduate from BYU in April possibly. Not really sure what to do. My Bishop hasn't been much help so far. He basically says I'm just going to have to deal with it

Thanks. I am a student at BYU. I was supposed to graduate this December 2012. I have two classes to finish before I graduate. Because I am disfellowshipped I cannot take classes. this would postpone my graduation until June or August 2013. I was hoping apply for grad school for the upcoming fall... If i dont graduate til june or august it might make it so i cant do grad school for a whole another year.

Hey Guys, I was disfellowshipped about two months ago for things dealing with the law of chastity. I basically messed up with a girl on two occassions. I'm an endowed RM. I am very embarassed for my actions and know I was completely wrong. I do not question that I should be disfellowshipped, but rather am hoping that the time can be reduced. (My branch president told me my disfellowship would last one year) Does anyone know if a disfellowship time can be reduced. I want to ask my bishop but don't want him to think I am trying to cut corners. THANKS
