Admissions Offer FAQ

Body

How long does it take to get notified on a decision made for Admission? 

  • If you submitted your application long before the semester you applied for, it can take weeks or possibly months to hear back.
  • If you submitted your application soon before the semester you applied for, you could have a decision within 1-2 weeks. 

How does this affect my application to other CES Schools?

  •  You will receive separate decisions from each school you applied to. Accepting an offer to one school will not affect your application to another school.
  • See the College Application FAQs website for more information.

What if I am planning on serving a mission?

  • If you are accepted into BYU-Idaho and are planning to serve a mission, you should accept the offer now rather than when you return. Otherwise, you will need to re-apply when you return.
    • Once you have accepted your offer and have your mission call, you can fill out your missionary deferment.

Can I change my start date for attending BYU-I?

  • Yes, domestic students will need to counsel with the Admissions Office at (208) 496-1300.
  • International students will need to counsel with the International Office at (208) 496-1320. Then if the change is approved, the International Office will inform the Admissions Office for you.

What if I accepted my offer but won't be attending (would like to withdraw from university)?

  • Contact the Admissions office at (208) 496-1300 to withdraw your acceptance.

How do you withdraw an application (domestic and international)?

What is the last day I can accept my offer?

  • We encourage you to accept your admission offer before the first day of the semester. 
  • The last day to accept an offer is the registration deadline (seee academic deadlines). This is usually a week into the semester. However, we don't recommend waiting that long since there will be limited options for classes at that point 😊

Can I download my Admittance letter?

  • Yes, your track assignment comes as a PDF.  The admittance letter can be found on the webpage/status page. You can take a screen shot of it there.
  • If you are needed proof of your student status, see Enrollment Verification
