How to Apply?
Who Can Apply?
BYU welcomes applicants from all over the world! While we do not offer second bachelor’s degrees (even if that degree was earned outside the US), we welcome freshman and transfer applicants.
Please note that transfer applicants who have earned the equivalent of 90+ graded US college credits are unlikely to be admitted.
How Do International Applicants Apply?
BYU's undergraduate application is found online at apply.byu.edu. The application is adaptive and requirements may change based on your individual situation. Please check the “Status” page of your application regularly, as some requirements will only show on this page.
Application requirements:
- Connect a church account
- Agree to BYU's Honor Code and obtain Ecclesiastical Endorsements
- Obtain required recommendations
- Complete essays and activities
- Submit an ACT or SAT score (if required)
- Submit an English Proficiency Score (if required)
- Submit a complete academic history. All non-US accredited international educational work will need to be evaluated, even if that international work appears on a US transcript. See Evaluating International Work for more details.
- Pay the application fee
Note: Failure to disclose complete academic history or any falsification of information required for admission consideration may result in immediate suspension and loss of all credit earned at BYU.
When Should I Apply?
If you are planning to apply, be sure to check our application availability and deadlines.
The application can take several weeks to complete, especially if international credential evaluations, English proficiency, or ACT/SAT exams are required. All required application materials must be received by BYU by the appropriate deadline, so start early!
