Housing Application

  1. A student must submit a housing application before they can contract for a bedspace.
    • Step 1: Contact Information - Students may enter the contact information of any person they would like to receive contracting information.
    • Step 2: Housing Preferences - Students may indicate up to three housing preferences and indicate if they need accommodations due to a disability.
    • Step 3: Personal Interests - Students will create a personal profile which includes some of their likes, dislikes, habits and standards of living. This profile will be visible to other students looking at the same room/apartment. The profiles of potential roommates may be viewed by clicking on the red bedspaces in a given room.
    • Step 4: FERPA - Information Release - Students will create a confidential FERPA Identifier, which acts as a password on their housing and dining records. The identifier also allows a student to designate individuals whom they want to be able to access their housing and dining information. This step is in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Anyone calling BYU Campus Accommodations in regards to housing and dining records will need to provide this FERPA Identifier to receive specific information over the phone. For more information about FERPA, see this page about FERPA.
    • Step 5: Vehicle Information - Students living in On-Campus Housing who bring a vehicle to campus are requested to register their vehicle with BYU Parking Services. There will be a parking fee of $25 per month for residents living at Heritage Halls, Helaman Halls, and Riviera during Fall-Winter Semesters.
    • Waiting List - Students will be able to indicate that they would like to be on the waiting list if they are not able to obtain their preferred bedspace during the contracting process.
  2. Students are encouraged to select a meal plan and read through the Terms and Conditions before submitting their agreements.
    • Note: Tenants of Helaman Halls are required to have a full meal plan. Tenants of Heritage Halls, Riviera, and Wyview Park are encouraged to select a meal plan as well, although it is not a requirement.
  3. In order to finalize securing a bedspace, students must pay a onetime $50 Processing Fee and a $100 Security Deposit in My Financial Center under Unpaid Charges
