The Admission Review
BYU-Idaho reviews applicants in two main areas: church endorsements and academic achievement.
Church Endorsements
Applicants must be worthy of a ecclesiastical endorsement from their church leaders and commit to abide by the Honor Code.
Academic Achievement
Admissions will review your grade point average (GPA) from your current institution or your high school depending on the number of transfer credits.
Ecclesiastical Endorsement
Ecclesiastical Endorsement
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in good standing with no probation of any kind are considered admissible to BYU-Idaho.
Non-members of the Church
Non-member applicants are required to abide by the Code of Honor and should review it thoroughly prior to applying. Interviews for non-member applicants can be conducted by a bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or by their own ecclesiastical leader.
