If this is arequirement for you, it will be listed on the status page of your online admissionapplication.
Any college work completed before you have met the state requirements forcompleting high school or before completing a GED or state recognized high schoolequivalency exam will be considered concurrent enrollment work and you willapply as a freshman applicant. If you have already completed your staterequirements for high school completion or have taken a GED or state recognizedhigh school equivalency exam and have completed college course work a�er thatdate, you may apply as a transfer applicant. If you have notcompleted su�cient accredited high school work or have not completed 24 gradedcollege credits, you will be required to take an ACT or SAT exam.

There are many benefits of taking AP and IB classes.
See the current guides on which AP or IB test scores qualify for BYU credit here.
BYU encourages students to enroll in AP (Advanced Placement) or IB (InternationalBaccalaureate) classes where available. Following are a few of the major bene�ts oftaking these college prep courses:
Because AP and IB courses are measured by a universal standard, students whotake these courses will receive extra consideration in the BYU admissionprocess.
Depending on the number and type of courses taken, students can receiveuniversity credit before even graduating from high school.
Students who take AP or IB courses are usually more prepared for the rigors ofcollege coursework, as well as the ACT/SAT, because of the study skills,discipline, and knowledge gained while taking such courses.
Students who take AP and IB courses gain support from motivated peers andmentors.
Is AP/IB right for me?
The decision to take AP or IB courses should be considered carefully by the student,parents, and a school counselor. Students and parents may wish to talk to an AP/IBteacher or coordinator to learn more about the di�culties of a particular course.They will want to be sure to consider the workload and the preparation required forthe course. We recommend not taking an AP/IB course unless students can maintainat least a B+ average.

INSPIRINGLEARNING
Living in the world’s coldest capital city, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, coal is often the only affordable source of
heat for the traditional ger, a round tent-like construction where the entire family lives. Unfortunately, coal is one of the dirtiest air pollutants and the pollution is so bad that it has severely limited the lung capacity of the capital’s children.
BYU engineering students and faculty went to Mongolia committed to solve what seemed like an impossible problem. Simply replacing the coal burning stove at the center of the ger with an electric stove would not be enough. They also needed to find a cost effective way to make gers more energy efficient. The teams designed solutions at BYU and then tested them on-site in Ulaanbaatar and they worked! For a minimal cost of $400, the team can retrofit a ger to make it warm, affordable, and above all, safe to live in. Hundreds of gers have been replaced and the hope is that the solution can be provided to thousands in the future.
— Dylan Sellers, Electrical Engineering, 2019
“We knew the air was dry, the nights were cold, and the pollution was killing these people, but until going there, we didn’t understand what the Mongolian people had to endure every day.”
Inspiring Fieldwork
“I hope we inspire our students to learn. And I hope that learning leads to inspiration. When both things happen, inspiring learning occurs.”

BYU UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN FACULTY
RESEARCH
30%+
BYU students are using a fish to teach social skills to children with autism. These aren’t just any students. One of
the students on this project, Bruna Goncalves, developed a passion for behavioral research while working with her sister who suffers from cystic fibrosis. Dr. Ryan Kellems, assistant professor in counseling psychology and special education, said her unique perspective enriched his research team. And this isn’t just any fish. Marla is an animated fish that is controlled by an operator in another room. Her mouth moves in alignment with whatever the operator says into a microphone, allowing her to interact with viewers in real time.
The research team uses Marla the fish because they have found that many children with autism who struggle with conversation and eye contact are riveted by animated characters. Marla could hold their attention long enough that operators could teach the children the steps to start a conversation. After some practice, the children confidently tested their new skills with real people, including other children. Their parents said that the live animation teaching method made a difference in their lives and the lives of their children. Bruna wasn’t done with her research when the project was completed. Not only did she help design and conduct the research, she also co-presented the findings with Dr. Kellems at two national conferences and has been accepted to a graduate program.
Samoa has the highest rate
of rheumatic heart disease in the world. Caused by untreated strep throat which can lead to heart damage, the disease can be deadly if untreated. Through a program called Rheumatic Relief, BYU student volunteers and alumni help to screen children for RHD and, working with the Samoan government, refer them for life-saving treatment.
These BYU students are the first line of diagnosis for possible RHD among the Samoan children. They engage with the children by performing puppet shows in Samoan and teaching songs to help the children know when to seek help for a sore throat. BYU students spend the semester prior to their trip learning these Samoan songs and phrases. As of 2019, more than 30,000 children have been screened and 685 were referred for treatment.
“I saw kids, who initially hid under the table so they wouldn’t have to talk to us, build their con-fidence and become willing to talk to others even though it was hard for them. Many made new friends, and even taught their peers!”
— Bruna Gonçalves, Special Education, 2019
“My students get to shadow professionals in multiple health-related fields, and see first-hand how their education enables them to serve others.”
— Dr. Lori B. Allen, Department of Biology

AIMSOF A BYU EDUCATION
BYU seeks to develop students of faith, intellect, and character who have the skills and the desire to continue
learning and to serve others throughout their lives. These are the common aims of all education at BYU.
What We Look For
There is no secret formula for admission to BYU. All applications go through a holistic review, meaning everything in the application is con-sidered. Take the opportunity to tell us about yourself. Make sure the work is your own and be thorough. Your application, including your essays, should demonstrate your preparation in these four areas:
• SPIRITUALLY STRENGTHENING • INTELLECTUALLY ENLARGING
• CHARACTER BUILDING
• LEADING TO LIFELONG LEARNING AND SERVICE
“Pursue your education as a priority of the highest order. Gain all the education you can. With us as Latter-day Saints, education is a religious responsibility.”
Common Aims of BYU
BYU DEVOTIONALS AND SPEECHES
SPIRITUALLY STRENGTHENING
“The founding charge of BYU is to teach every subject with the Spirit.” BYU provides a world-class education within a spiritual environment. To help you feel comfort-able here, we recommend attending, participating in, and graduating from LDS seminary. We also recommend that you regularly participate in church meetings, programs, and activities. If you are spiritually prepared, BYU will provide you with the opportunity to strengthen your testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ while studying for your degree.
INTELLECTUALLY ENLARGING
“Members of the BYU community rigorously study academic subjects in the light of divine truth.”
To be prepared academically, we recommend you take challenging, college preparatory classes during high school. We also encourage you to pursue your passions inside and outside of the classroom. Your academic preparation will allow you to learn from BYU’s faculty and even work alongside them in their research and fieldwork.
CHARACTER BUILDING
“BYU has always cared as much about strong moral character as about great mental capability.”
A person of character should have a strong work ethic and be able to demonstrate resilience and honesty. You should be respectful of others despite differences, honor commitments, and have integrity in all you do. The BYU community will support you as you continue to strengthen
your character and pursue a life consistent with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
LEADING TO LIFELONG LEARNING AND SERVICE
Students “enter to learn” at BYU and then “go forth to serve.” Our graduates use what they learn to make the world a better place. We look for students that already have a love of learning and a sincere desire to serve others. Cultivate your love of service through sustained exposure to meaningful service opportunities. BYU offers learning and service opportunities through various clubs and organizations that will help you continue your commitment to lifelong learning and service.

MISSIONARYSERVICE DEFERMENT
“Young men and women, your education is ever important—to us, to you, and to God. Where feasible, if you wish to attend a college or university after your mission, we encourage you to apply to your institution of choice before beginning your mission. Many institutions of higher learning will grant an 18- to 30-month deferral to prospective missionaries. This will enable you elders and sisters to serve without worrying about where you will begin your advanced education.”
—President Russell M. Nelson
You may defer your BYU enrollment (and scholar-ship, if applicable) for a Latter-day Saint mission by completing a mission deferment form online.

You may live in either on- or BYU-contracted off-campus housing. Most freshmen choose to live on campus their first year, but it is not a requirement. Both dormitory-style (meals provided) and apartment-style (cook your own meals) housing options are available on campus. Additionally, a Foreign Language Student Resi-dence option is available for students who want a unique language immersion experience.
If you wish to live on campus you do not need to complete a separate application for housing. Admitted students are offered on-campus

ENTER TO LEARNGO FORTH TO SERVE “
”If we learn in order to serve, to give to others, and to ‘feed’ others, we will find the acquisition of subject matter much easier. We then are trying not to glorify ourselves, but to teach ... others.... Then there will come to us the full meaning of this scripture: ‘He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.’
BOYD K. PACKER, “Teach Ye Diligently, rev. ed.” (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1991), 191. See also Matthew 10:39.

Your preparation is an important component to success in higher education. The following tips can help your application go more smoothly.

Graduate Programs:gradstudies.byu.eduY
International Evaluations:inteval.byu.eduY
TIPS FORINTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
EVALUATING INTERNATIONAL WORK
All secondary education and college work (not U.S. accredited) done outside the United States must be evaluated by an international credential evaluations agency at the applicant’s expense.
Please visit inteval.byu.edu to see which agencies we accept evaluations from.
• Plan early – registration for the ACT/SAT, an English proficiency exam (TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, CAE), and credential evaluation can take several weeks or longer. To avoid rush fees, plan to register for these application requirements at least 2-3 months before the application deadline.
• You should list your name on the application as it appears on your passport. Additionally, to ensure scores submitted electronically are received, the name on the application and on any exams must be exactly the same. Any variation may cause delay.
• An endorsement must be submitted from your ecclesiastical leader on your behalf. If you are not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints you must be interviewed by either your own ecclesiastical leader or a Latter-day Saint bishop as well as the University Chaplain.
• Apply for the semester or term you wish to start. You likely will not be able to change this if admitted.
• If you wish to live on campus you do not need to complete a separate application for housing. Admitted students are offered on-campus housing in the order they submit their admission application. A place in on-campus housing is not guaranteed, but the earlier you submit your admission application, the more likely you are to receive your housing preference.
• If you have attended any U.S. high schools you will need to self-report this work on the application. An official transcript will be required only if you are admitted. Failure to provide accurate information on any portion of the application may result in rescinded admission.
• Admission to one semester or term is not easier than another.
• If you have completed a bachelor’s degree you are not eligible for a second bachelor’s degree from BYU, but are welcome to apply to BYU graduate programs.
• BYU does not accept transfer applicants that have 90 credits or more.
”“INSPIRING COLLABORATIONIn Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, music and scripture are both inseparable and important to worship. As curator of the Sacred Sounds exhibit at the BYU library, music major Maddie Blonquist worked alongside students in media arts, graphic design, French, and Spanish to create an experience that celebrated music in religion.
The interactive experience—which used an audio guide, text panels, art, and a video documentary—sought to bridge the divide between the three religions by exploring how significant music is to each.
MADDIE BLONQUISTB.A. Music, 2018
The main purpose of Sacred Sounds is to allow visitors to cultivate empathy between Judaism, Islam, and Christianity ... through the lens of music.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER: SPRING/SUMMER/FALL 2019
We define “freshman” as one who has not completed any college or university work following high school graduation or secondary education completion.
We define “transfer” as an applicant who attended college or university after completion of high school or secondary education. A full account of your academic history will be required, regardless of transferability or desired program of study.
APPLICATION DEADLINESApplication deadlines are final. In order to submit your application, we must receive ALL application materials—including those submitted by others on your behalf. Any application not submitted by the deadline will not be considered. Note also that because of the level of intellectual, social, and emotional maturity required of university students, BYU does not admit applicants who will be less than 17 years of age by the first day of class.

ENDURING CHARACTER“BYU has always cared as much about strong moral character as about great mental
capability.” A person of character should have a strong work ethic and be able to demonstrate resilience and honesty. You should be respectful of others despite
differences, honor commitments, and have integrity in all you do. The BYU community will support you as you continue to strengthen your character and pursue a life
consistent with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Students “enter to learn” at BYU and then “go forth to serve.” Our graduates use what they learn to make the world a better place. We look for students that already have a love
of learning and a sincere desire to serve others. Cultivate your love of service through sustained exposure to meaningful service opportunities. BYU offers learning and service
opportunities through various clubs and organizations that will help you continue your commitment to lifelong learning and service.
LOVE OF LEARNING & SERVICE
GROWING INTELLECT“Members of the BYU community rigorously study academic subjects in the light of
divine truth.” To be prepared academically, we recommend you take challenging, college preparatory classes during high school. We also encourage you to pursue your passions inside and outside of the classroom. Your academic preparation will allow you to learn
from BYU’s faculty and even work alongside them in their research and fieldwork.
SPIRITUAL STRENGTH“The founding charge of BYU is to teach every subject with the Spirit.” BYU provides a world-class education within a spiritual environment. To help you feel comfortable
here, we recommend attending, participating in, and graduating from seminary. We also recommend that you regularly participate in church meetings, programs, and activities. If you are spiritually prepared, BYU will provide you with the opportunity to strengthen
your testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ while studying for your degree.

FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
International students who are admitted to BYU will need to complete the following requirements before receiving the Form I-20 and registering for classes:
• Financial Verification – All admitted international students must provide verification that they are able to meet the cost of attendance for one year. You must complete an Affidavit of Support accompanied with the most recent copy of the bank statement for each sponsor before you are able to register for classes.
• International Student Deposit – Once admitted to the university, all international students must make a deposit of $4,000 USD before they will be able to register for classes. The deposit will be held in an interest-earning escrow account with the intent to be released to the student during their final semester before graduation. Once the deposit has been paid and finances have been verified, the registration hold will be removed. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
• I-20 Transfer Request Form (if applicable) – International students who are currently studying in the United States will be required to transfer their SEVIS record to BYU. A registration hold is placed on the student’s file until a transfer request form has been submitted.
NOTE: The deadline for these three requirements is the same as the financial verification deadline shown on page 7.
FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIPS
Federal financial aid is not available to international students. Freshman applicants may qualify for highly competitive academic scholarships. Transfer applicants may be considered for academic scholarships only if they are applying for fall semester and meet the December 16, 2019 deadline (see page 7). In all cases, to be eligible for BYU scholarships, students must submit the scholarship application (see URL below).
HOUSING SELECTION
If you wish to live on campus you do not need to complete a separate application for housing. Admitted students are offered on-campus housing in the order they submit their admission application. A place in on-campus housing is not guaranteed, but the earlier you submit your admission application, the more likely you are to receive your housing preference.

INSPIRINGFIELDWORKSam Spoors truly embodies BYU’s motto, “Enter to learn, go forth to serve.” Originally from London, Sam is the first member of his family to attend a university. He has entered BYU with the desire to learn so he will be able to best help people in the future.
To accomplish this goal Sam has been involved in various internships that include Soltis Investment Advisors, Corient Capital Partners, Olympus Wealth Management, and the Silvercrest Asset Management Group. He has helped clients with their investments, and will help manage mutual funds this summer in New York City.
BYU has helped me hone and refine my raw passion for the markets. The BYU Finance Society and past BYU finance students have taught me industry-wide best practices, allowing me to go out into the world and find my own opportunities.
