Application for Admission For credit classes only

General Admission Policies Brigham Young University Idaho exists to provide an education consistent with the religious and family values taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. In Admissions, we prefer members of the Church in good standing but will not unlawfully discriminate against applicants based upon gender, race, creed, religion, national origin, age, or disability who meet the requirements; who agree to abide by the Honor Code and Dress and Grooming Standards; and who are otherwise qualified based upon available space. Individuals with disabilities who may require special accommodations should contact Services for Students with Disabilities at BYU Idaho (208) 496 4270 (Voice/TDD). The campus security report published pursuant to The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 information is available upon written request to the Admissions Office. BYU Idaho is affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints' Church Educational System (CES). It is the policy of CES to share educational records with its affiliates. Confidentiality of student records policy is printed in the catalog. Because of enrollment limitations, BYU Idaho will not admit a student who has previously received a degree equivalent to the one sought. Continuing Education Application Procedures: Continuing Education applicants must meet at least one of the following conditions: (1) be at least 19 years of age, (2) be a high school graduate, or (3) be a high school student with approval from Continuing Education officials as well as a school principal. To be considered for admission, Continuing Education applicants must complete and submit the following: Part 1: Student Information Part 2: Educational Plans Part 3: Student Commitment and Ecclesiastical Endorsement $35 Application Fee International Students: F-1 status international students in the United Status may take Continuing Education classes for credit; however, Continuing Education classes by themselves will not qualify students to receive an I-20 from BYU Idaho. If a student already has an I-20, Continuing Education courses cannot be used as the sole source of credits to maintain students status. Students need to check with their international student advisor. Individuals with any other immigration status may take Continuing Education credits without restriction. Restrictions and Considerations: Continuing Education students maintain their admission status until they do not enroll in any given semester, including Spring Semester. Once a Continuing Education student fails to enroll, he/she must reapply to be eligible to re-enroll. Continuing Education students are not assigned to a specific track. Admission Application Deadlines: All materials must be received two weeks prior to first day of classes for the semester in which students wish to enroll. Notification of Application Status and Admission: Once an application is complete, the student will receive a letter from BYU Idaho with notification of the admission decision. 2

Part 3: Student Commitment and Confidential Report Instructions to all Applicants: Applicants to the CES schools commit to live the ideals and principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ and to maintain the standards of conduct as taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. By accepting admission to these schools, individuals reconfirm their commitment to observe these standards. After reading this page, you must interview with your LDS bishop or branch president. LDS applicants must also interview with a member of their current stake or district presidency. Non-LDS applicants may interview with any local LDS Bishop, then will be contacted by the university chaplain for a second interview after CES receives Part 3. Your ecclesiastical leader will complete his section of Part 3 and send the entire section directly to the CES Admissions Office. Please sign Part 3 at the conclusion of your interview. Instructions to the Interviewing Officer: Please review in detail the Honor Code and the Dress and Grooming Standards with the applicant. The First Presidency directs ecclesiastical leaders to not endorse students with unresolved worthiness or activity problems. A student who is admitted but is not actually worthy of the ecclesiastical endorsement given is not fully prepared spiritually and displaces another student who is qualified to attend. Individuals who are 1) less active, 2) unworthy, or 3) under Church discipline should not be endorsed for admission until these issues have been completely resolved and the requisite standards of worthiness are met. If endorsed, please forward this form directly to the stake or district president. Do not give it to the student. All materials must be postmarked on or before the established deadline. If circumstances regarding this endorsement change, please contact us immediately. After reading this page: Review in detail the Honor Code and the Dress and Grooming Standards with the applicant.

The Honor Code Brigham Young University, Brigham Young University-Hawaii, Brigham Young University-Idaho, and LDS Business College exist to provide an education in an atmosphere consistent with the ideals and principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That atmosphere is created and preserved through commitment to the conduct that reflects those ideals and principles. Members of the faculty, administration, staff, and student body at BYU, BYU-H, BYU-I, and LDSBC are selected and retained from among individuals who voluntarily live the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Observance of such is a specific condition of employment and admission. Those individuals who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are also expected to maintain the same standards of conduct, except church attendence. All who represent BYU, BYU-H, BYU-I, and LDSBC are to maintain the highest standards of honor, integrity, morality, and consideration of others in personal behavior. By accepting appointment on the faculty, continuing in employment, or continuing class enrollment, individuals evidence their commitment to observe the Honor Code standards approved by the Board of Trustees at all times and in all places. (Mosiah 18:9) We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. (Thirteenth Article of Faith) As a matter of personal commitment, students, faculty, and staff of Brigham Young University, Brigham Young University-Hawaii, Brigham Young University-Idaho, and LDS Business College seek to demonstrate in daily living on and off campus those moral virtues encompassed in the gospel of Jesus Christ, and will: Be honest Obey the law and all campus policies Live a chaste and virtuous life Respect others Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, and substance abuse Encourage others in their commitment to comply with the Honor Code.

The application of these principles may vary slightly at the various institutions in accordance with local conditions and circumstances. The Dress and Grooming Standards are as follows: Men: Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles or colors and trimmed above the collar, leaving the ear uncovered. Sideburns should not extend below the earlobe or onto the cheek. If worn, mustaches should be neatly trimmed and may not extend beyond or below the corners of the mouth.
