Campus Visit

Description.

We are conducting campus visits to help prospective students, their family members, and other visitors learn more about BYU–Hawaii. The visit consists of learning about the university's facilities, student life, cultures on campus, academics, and available programs. A visit includes a meeting with an Admissions officer and a campus tour with a student from our Ho'okele department. Visits need to be scheduled 24 hours in advance.

Questions & Answers

Please bring your whole family/group. The first part of the visit, the admissions overview, can only accommodate about 15 people so if the groups for a time slot are too large we may ask that only the prospective students and a parent/guardian attend that portion, while the rest of the group spends time in the Aloha center. After the admissions overview we can bring everyone on a tour of our campus.

No, please only sign-up once for your whole group. If there are multiple prospective students in a group please only provide the information for the oldest or the one who will be applying soonest. We will ask for the information of other prospective students when you arrive on campus.

The visit will start in the Ho'okele offices in the Lorenzo Snow Administration Building, our groups will then move to a room in the Aloha Center for a presentation about the school, it's history, academics, and the target area. Following the presentation a student worker will take the group on a tour around campus showing our facilities and answering questions about student life.

You are not required to follow the school dress-code while visiting the campus. We do encourage following the dress-code for the visit, but it is not enforced on our guests.

We don't allow guests in the dorms. If you would like more information on housing please visit the residential life  page.

We don't allow visitors to sit in on classes. As you are brought around campus feel free to look into classes, but we ask that you respect our students and teachers as they are trying to learn.

We start all visits in the Lorenzo Snow Administration Building. Please meet there and check in with our staff.

Anyone can attend a campus visit. 

Your campus visit will last up to an hour.
