What Comes Next

Waiting for a Decision
Once a decision has been made on your application, you will receive an email from the University. The decision will also be indicated on the status page of the application, so check that often as some emails get automatically put into junk folders.

When admitted, read acceptance letter and follow all directions.
Apply for BYU-Idaho Scholarships
When you have submitted your BYU-Idaho application, you can start the BYU-Idaho Scholarship application. It’s due March 1st every year. 

Complete the Scholarship Application.

You should also complete the FAFSA.
New Student Checklist
In your track assignment, there is a link to a New Student Checklist. This will walk you through all of the next steps, including housing, registration, insurance, etc.
Missionary Deferments
Once students have been admitted, have accepted their offer to attend BYU-Idaho, and have received a mission call, they are able to defer for the duration of their mission. This means that BYU-Idaho will maintain a student’s enrollment and BYU-Idaho Scholarships until they return.
