Single On-Campus Housing
Most single students at BYU–Hawaii live on campus in the hales. Many are required to live on campus according to the terms of their work-study program.
There are more than 10 hales with varying housing types ranging from dormitory-style to apartment-style housing.
Step 1 - Determine Your Student Type
There are 3 types of single students when it comes to housing. Read carefully because the application process is different for each group.
Work-Study Students (IWORK or Hukilau) will automatically get an email to reserve a room. If you have not yet received an email, please apply to the waitlist on Step 3.
New Non-Work Study Students are students not on a work-study program and have not lived on-campus before. These students should proceed with the steps below. Please apply as soon as possible as on-campus housing is limited.
Returning Students (those who have lived in on-campus housing before and have taken a leave of absence, served a mission, or gone on an internship), will be directed to sign up for the waitlist as seen in Step 3.

Remember!
If you have applied to the waitlist, by the time you receive an invitation, you must be registered as a full-time student (with at least one face-to-face credit) for the application semester or your waitlist position will be forfeited. Waitlisted classes do not count toward the credit total. Make sure you have no holds that would keep you from registering for classes. Click here for more information on the waitlist.
If you are offered a spot in on-campus housing, your offered room type will be first based on your eligibility, then on availability. Because housing is so limited, your ideal room and room type may not be available.

The university does not offer a checkout option for continuing residents. Residents who have a winter booking may reside and/or leave their belongings in their rooms during this break. Residents who do not reside in the room or who check out of the room but are returning for the next semester are responsible for the winter break fee.
Winter residents who renew their contract or book a room for the spring semester are permitted to reside and/or leave their belongings in their rooms during the days between the winter and spring semesters.
Different room layouts, floor plans, features, and requirements are found in the different hales. Review each hale to learn more about the different housing arrangements available.
