Single On-Campus Housing Waitlist

On-campus housing options are limited. It is important for students to be informed of the proper processes used to secure on-campus housing and of the appropriate deadlines. Students that do not engage in the correct process by the appropriate deadlines will have a lower likelihood of being able to secure on-campus housing.

Single On-Campus Housing Waitlist

Single student housing options are limited. Students wanting to secure on-campus housing can apply for the single on-campus housing waitlist on the Housing Portal. Refer to the open dates above.

How to Apply to Waitlist

  1. Sign on to the Housing Portal.
  2. Go to "Secure Housing." 
  3. Select "Hales." 
  4. Click "Apply to Waitlist."
  5. Complete the application. Do not forget to click finish! 

If completed correctly, you will receive a confirmation email.

Room Type Eligibility

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.

Apartment-style: upperclassmen
Hybrid: upperclassmen
Dorm-style: freshmen/first-year

Sorting Groups

Students who apply to the waitlist will be sorted into the following 'sorting groups’:

Group 1: Work study students. This includes all students newly accepted into a work-study program or current work-study students.

Group 2: Newly admitted self-funded first-year students. This includes students required to live on campus under the ‘Single Student Freshman and Transfer Housing Policy.’ Students in this group will be assigned to freshman housing. This excludes students who have a current hale contract.

Group 3: All other students. This includes students living on or off-campus, students admitted prior, and students who took a leave of absence or deferred.

Credit Requirement

To be eligible for a room invitation, you must be registered as a full-time student (with at least one face-to-face credit) for the application semester. Waitlisted classes do not count toward the credit total.

You do not have to register at the time of application to the waitlist, but you must be registered by the time of the invitation. We understand you cannot register for classes until your open date, but we want you to be prepared to register as soon as possible.

  • Make sure you have no holds on your account that would prevent you from registering. 
  • Plan your semester out with your MAP or an academic advisor. 

New international students required to take an EIL test before registering will be registered in a placeholder class that will qualify as full-time credits.

Remember!

  • Waitlisted classes do not count toward the credit total.
  • If you are below full-time credits because you are graduating, request a Reduced Course Load Form through HANDSHAKE experiences. For more information, visit the Reduced Course Load Request webpage.

Invitation Process

The waitlist will be sorted by the following criteria:

  1. Credit requirement (yes or no).
  2. Sorting group.
  3. Date of application.

If you meet the criteria and there is availability in a room you are eligible for, you will be sent an invitation via your BYUH email. Please make sure your BYUH email is working BEFORE the invitation period. For email issues, please fill out an IT service request.

Invitations are sent out weekly. Once students receive an email, they will have access to accept the offer online on the Housing Portal for 48 hours. This access to accept is not available to a student until they have received an email invitation.

We will continue to send invitations each week if there are any availabilities.

Remember!

  • Invitations are sent to your BYUH email address.
  • You will only have 48 hours to respond, so check your emails regularly! 

If you miss the deadline to accept your invitation but are still interested in housing, you will need to re-apply. You will have a new date.

Application Fee

All interested students must pay a non-refundable $50 hale application fee to apply for single-student on-campus housing.

The application fee will be charged to your student account within seven business days once you have signed a contract. Once posted to your account, you may make a payment online.

To make a payment, please follow the instructions on the How to Make a Payment Online page. Unpaid fees will result in a hold on your account that could prevent registration for classes.

Off-Campus Housing

Students looking for off-campus housing must find and secure contracts on their own.
