AFTER YOU'RE ACCEPTED

Missionary Service

If you decide to serve a mission, be sure to fill out the Mission Deferment Form when you receive your mission call.

Housing

Finding a place to live near campus is important! For your first two semesters as a BYU student, all single undergraduate students must live (1) in BYU On-Campus Housing, (2) in BYU Off-Campus Contracted Housing, or (3) with qualifying family members. On-campus housing options may require you to have a meal plan.
