Student Success and Retention Report

From the moment a student decides to attend BYU-Idaho, they are assigned mentors and given support tools to help them succeed and persist to graduation. BYU-Idaho is a special place where both faculty in the classroom and employees in the student workplace mentor students. Every employee is a mentor.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, BYU-Idaho has sought to meet state and local health district guidance to keep students and employees healthy. In many cases, the university has gone above and beyond what was required to keep everyone safe. With COVID-19 vaccines now available in the community to everyone 12 and older, BYU-Idaho personnel have worked hard to make the vaccine available and easily accessible to as many of the campus community as possible.

With more than 95 majors to choose from, many BYU-Idaho students struggle figuring out what they want to study their freshman year. To help undecided students select a major more effectively, the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies is launching a pilot program this fall called Freshman Focus Areas.
