Canadian Student Applicants
As a Canadian student there are a number of regulations and school policies that you need to be aware of as you plan for your education at BYU-Idaho. Some of these are specific to BYU-Idaho and others are mandated by US immigration requirements and apply to all schools admitting international students in the United States.
Please use the information found on this site to educate yourself regarding these regulations and policies.
Academic Evaluation
Applicants can now self-report a GPA on a 4.0 scale. The Scholaro GPA calculator can be used for a free option to convert Canadian high school/secondary education work to a 4.0 scale as required on BYU-Idaho’s application.
Application Deadlines
Canadian residents have the same application deadlines as U.S. residents. Application decisions are usually made within 2-3 weeks of submitting the application. Apply early to give yourself plenty of time to select classes and housing.
When admitted, Canadian applicants will be provided a link for submitting their I-20 application into our system.
Note: The adjustments described above are only for Canadian residents applying to BYU-Idaho. BYU in Provo, UT, will continue as they do now with the credential evaluation requirement and their regular deadlines. International applicants from other countries must still adhere to standard application requirements for international applicants.
