Onboarding Process
New Student Checklist
The new student checklist assists admitted students in their preparation to arrive at BYU–Hawaii.
All new students are encouraged to use this itemized checklist. It will help to ensure that new students have completed all the steps necessary for a smooth transition into college life.
It has valuable information that will answer many questions that might arise in the enrollment process. Below are some key parts of that process to get you started.
Housing
First-year single students are required to live on campus for their first semester. There is a $50 housing fee (see Tuition and Fees below) for students planning to live on campus.
To apply for housing, be aware of the deadlines. They change each semester. Be sure to use your checklist to get the correct information.
Learn more on the Student Housing website or call (808) 675-3534.
Tuition and Fees
All students will have to pay some fees, and self-funded students will pay tuition to BYUH Financial Services. The Cashier's Office of BYU–Hawaii's Financial Services handles all financial transactions. Visit their page to learn more about paying university fees.
You will need your student ID number to apply the payments to the right acocunt.
International Student Visas
In order for international students to get their visa documents, they need to complete the certificate of eligibility e-form that was sent to their student email account. Once this form has been submitted and approved, a DS-2019 (J-1 students) or I-20 (F-1 students) document will be created which will allow international students to apply for a visa appointment. International Student Services will send the document to the new student, along with instructions on how to apply and prepare for a visa interview.
Immunization Records
The State of Hawaii requires that all students be vaccinated with MMR, Varicella, MCV, and Tdap vaccines and be cleared of tuberculosis. Before you can register for classes, you will need to send a copy of your immunization record to Health Services. Before attending classes, you will need to have a tuberculosis clearance which must be completed in the United States.

If you have taken college-level or advanced placement classes before, you will need to evaluate whether or not your credits can be transferred to BYUH using the Transfer Evaluation Guidelines and Matrix.
