Services for Current BYU-Idaho Students
Because of varying missionary return dates, some returning missionaries must wait several months before they can enroll in the next semester of their assigned track. To create a more seamless transition from mission to study, missionaries returning to BYU-Idaho on deferment can now request to enroll in the next available semester, regardless of their permanent track, through the Returning Missionary Program. The student's track assignment does not change because of the request. Any student who receives this override to attend their flex track through the Returning Missionary Program will still be expected to attend the following two semesters of their regular track. International students need pre-approval from International Services in order to return on a flex semester. To sign up, please call BYU-Idaho at 208-496-1411. If the next available semester is part of a student's assigned track, no change is needed.
Services for New Applicants
Most new applicants will not be held to traditional deadlines if they apply to the earliest semester available after their mission release. Returning missionaries applying past the deadline should contact BYU-Idaho at 208-496-1411.
Students whose native language is not English will be required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), even if they have served an English-speaking mission. Applicants who are not legal permanent residents of the United States are not eligible for early admission. U.S. law requires certain documentation and financial information that must be submitted at certain times in the application process. Thus, international applicants must adhere to regular admissions deadlines.
