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 U.S.), we welcome freshman and transfer applicants.
NOTE: Transfer applicants who have earned the equivalent of 90+ graded U.S. college credits are unlikely to be admitted.
How Do International Applicants Apply?
BYU's undergraduate application is found at apply.byu.edu. The application is adaptive and requirements may change based on your individual situation.
Application requirements:
- Connect a church account
- Agree to BYU's Honor Code and obtain Ecclesiastical Endorsements
- 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 U.S. transcript. See Evaluating International Work for more details.
- Submit an ACT or SAT score (if required)
- Submit an English Proficiency Score (if required)
- Obtain required recommendations
- Complete essays and activities
- 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!
