Complexes in approved housing are under contract with the university to meet certain standards and conditions before they can offer contracts to single BYU-Idaho students. Because of this, approved housing provides significant benefits and flexibility to students.
| BYU-Idaho standards and compliance with the Honor Code are expected and maintained in approved housing. |
| The costs of utilities and amenities are covered in an all-inclusive rental price (utilities, furnishings, internet, tv, etc.). |
| Only BYU-Idaho students admitted to a track can live in approved housing. |
| All BYU-Idaho students living in approved housing must have an annual endorsement from their Bishop. |
| Complexes in approved housing are inspected annually by the Housing & Student Living Office to ensure they meet physical facility standards. |
| Over 90 percent (92.6%) of approved housing uits are within two blocks of campus. |
| Parking is much more abundant in approved housing compared to community housing. |
| Managers of approved housing complexes are required to be endorsed annually. |
| Managers receive monthly training and instruction from the Housing & Student Living Office. At these meetings, discussion centers on improving the experience of their student-tenants. |
| When students have complaints and concerns, the Housing & Student Living Office offers mediation and arbitration services to help resolve the concern. |
| Many complexes offer flexible contract length options taht correspond to the university academic calendar (for example, students can rent by the semester). |
While all the complexes are individually owned and operated, approved housing supports the university's mission to "maintain a wholesome, academic, cultural, social & spiritual environment."
