Newly Admitted Students Housing Checklist
2024-25

• For their first two semesters as BYU students, all single undergraduate students must live (1) in BYU On-Campus Housing, (2) in BYU Off-Campus Contracted Housing, or (3) with qualifying family members. This applies to all single BYU undergraduate students, including transfer students, who are matriculated, meaning they have been admitted to a degree-seeking program. Here is a link for more information about the student housing policy.

• Students seeking On-Campus Housing must complete a On-Campus Housing Application with questions regarding housing preferences and other related matters before completing an agreement.
  • The completion of the housing application is integral to BYU's preparation for accommodating students, which will streamline the housing process for all individuals. Filling out the housing application does not mean BYU has reached a decision regarding the student's admission status, nor does it influence BYU's admission decision-making process. In order to complete a housing application, a person must first submit an admission application to BYU.
  • Students do not need to wait until they are admitted to submit the housing application.

• Become familiar with the housing areas available for contracting and take virtual tours.
