HOUSING TYPES

Women’s Housing—Individuals or groups (up to six women per group) may apply.

Men’s Housing—Individuals or groups (up to six men per group) may apply.

Family Housing (only for families attending with youth)—Four to six family members may apply as a group for family housing (a parent or guardian must accompany youth). Please note that family housing is limited to six individuals per apartment, and youth must be 14 or older. (No cooking facilities are available.)

Important Update: Couples’ housing is no longer available on campus due to the demolition of Deseret Towers. The remaining facilities at Helaman Halls cannot house both genders in the same building since they have only one restroom per wing or have shared bathrooms between rooms. Other than those who qualify for a family housing unit in Heritage Halls, men and women will be housed in separate buildings and should apply for either men’s or women’s housing. If this arrangement will not work in your particular circumstance, we encourage you to check our listings of other lodging possibilities (hotels, motels, apartments, etc).

CAMPUS HOUSING APPLICATION PROCEDURE

To apply online for campus housing, you must do the following:

1. Read this page and become familiar with the campus housing policies and procedures.
2. Create a Login Name and Password on our registration system (see our Online Registration page for more details).
3. Between April 1 at 9:00 a.m. and April 15 at 5:00 p.m. mountain time, login to the Continuing Education registration system.
4. Follow the online prompts to register for the program. During the registration process you may select the campus housing option and/or the Signature Card option. Selecting the campus housing option constitutes your application for housing. A random selection for campus housing will take place on April 17. Notification will then be sent to all applicants. Beginning May 6, any remaining campus housing space will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Application by telephone is also available (please see the information below).

To provide all who apply an equal opportunity to obtain the limited campus housing space, a random selection will be conducted using all applications received between April 1 at 9:00 a.m. and April 15 at 5:00 p.m. mountain time. Applications may be submitted over the Internet or by telephone as part of the registration process for the Campus Education Week program. A bankcard number (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover) and expiration date must be submitted with each registration/application. Charges to the bankcard will take place immediately upon submission of the program registration (which will include any housing and/or Signature Card option selected). You will receive a full refund for your registration, housing, and Signature Card if your application is not selected in the random draw. Again, the selection process is random so that everyone has an equal opportunity to be selected, as long as an application is submitted by the deadline. 

As part of the housing application process, each individual must select a program registration option, the housing option, and, if desired, a Signature Card on the online (or telephone) application.

• Application over the Internet is available from April 1 at 9:00 a.m. until April 15 at 5:00 p.m. mountain time.
  
  
• Application by telephone will be available from April 1 at 9:00 a.m. until April 15 at 5:00 p.m. mountain time. Please call (801) 422-8925 to apply. Regular business hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. mountain time. Click here to see the required applicant information.

A random selection of applicants will be conducted on April 17. Notification will then be mailed to all applicants informing them of their status. We emphasize that limited campus housing is available, and we may not be able to accommodate all those who apply.

If your application is selected, a receipt and name badge will be mailed to your address. Your specific room assignment will be mailed the first week of August.

If your application is not selected, you will receive a full refund, including a refund for the program registration, and if selected, the Signature Card (because some people choose not to attend the program if they do not receive campus housing). Therefore, those who do not receive campus housing but still desire to attend the program must register in person or by Internet, phone, or mail.

You may withdraw your registration/application at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (mountain time) on April 15 and receive a full refund. To withdraw your application, login to the Continuing Education registration system and click the “Edit Registration/Withdraw” button. You may also withdraw by calling (801) 422-8925. If you receive campus housing in the random draw and subsequently need to cancel, a refund fee will be assessed and you must follow the refund procedures outlined in the Refunds section.

Housing space that is not filled during the application period will be made available by telephone from May 6 to August 8 on a first-come, first-served basis to anyone who registers for the program. Bankcard charges will be processed immediately upon registration.

• May 6 to July 22—Individuals and groups may register for any remaining space.
  
  
• July 25 to August 8 —Only individual housing registrations (no groups) will be accepted on a space-available basis.
  

Housing Registration Notes

• Housing applicants must register for the Campus Education Week program by selecting either Monday–Friday or Tuesday–Friday program registration during the registration/application process.
  
  
• You may request a roommate (of the same gender) at the time you apply for men’s or women’s campus housing. To do so, you must provide the name of your requested roommate and enter a 10-digit group link number. This “group link number” should be a telephone number (including area code) of one of the roommates. Your roommate must apply separately and request you as his/her roommate by providing your name and entering the same group link number that you entered. This will eliminate the chance of one individual receiving housing while the requested roommate does not receive housing. If you, as roommates, register as part of a group, the entire group (six individuals maximum) must enter the same “group link number.” Students applying singly who do not request a roommate will have one assigned.
  
  
• A “group link number” will also be used to keep family and group housing applicants together. This “group link number” should be a telephone number (including area code) of one of the group members. All group members must provide the same group link number when submitting their applications. This will eliminate the chance of some of your group members obtaining housing while others do not. If there is a specific member of the group you wish to have as a roommate, you must provide his/her name during the application process and have him/her apply separately and list you as a roommate.
  
  
• We try to honor requests for group housing in the various housing types. The maximum group size is six individuals. A group cannot request to be housed next to another group.

Campus Housing Cost and Check-in Times

• Campus housing, Sunday night–Friday night, is $100 per person. Those who receive campus housing may check in beginning Sunday, August 17, from 3:00 to 11:00 p.m. Check-in time Monday through Friday is from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Because of a strict maintenance schedule, you must check out of housing by 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 23. (Please note that there is no longer a Monday night–Friday night option.)
  
  
• Early check-in is available on Saturday, August 16, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for an additional $19 per person per night, which will be collected upon your arrival.

Campus Housing Accommodations

• Campus housing accommodations include two twin beds per room, bed and bath linen, and central bath facilities on each floor. Students applying singly who do not request a roommate will have one assigned.
  
  
• Please note that we use student housing and all beds are residence-hall height, three to four feet off the ground. If you are selected to receive campus housing and are in need of an accommodation for a qualified disability, please inform the Campus Education Week Office in writing immediately after receiving your housing notification. Please be specific in your request. BYU is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for people with qualified disabilities.
  
  
• No cooking facilities or rooms with private baths are available.
  
  
• Students under the age of 19 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No one under 14 will be allowed in campus housing.
  

Alternatives to Campus Housing

• Many Education Week students stay with family or friends. You may want to purchase a program registration for your host and/or hostess in appreciation for their hospitality.
  
  
• Check area Hotels, Motels, and RV Parks from the Utah Valley Business Development site.
  
  
• As a service to patrons of the Campus Education Week program, we host an
  Off-Campus Housing Bulletin Board listing accommodations made available by private owners and landlords. Campus Education Week and Brigham Young University neither endorse nor recommend any of the facilities listed. You are encouraged to make your own investigation of the appropriateness of these facilities for your use. Any resulting arrangements will be strictly between you and the facility!
  
  
• The northwest parking lot by the Smith Fieldhouse (Lot 37) is available beginning Saturday, August 16, on a first-come, first-served basis for completely self-contained RVs. No hookups, showers, restrooms, or dump sites are available.
  
  
• If you live within a daily driving distance, please consider returning home in the evenings, leaving the limited housing for students who come from areas outside the Wasatch Front.
