New Student Information

Move-In Day | January 4th

Complexes open at 8:00 a.m. for you to start moving in; Get Connected events begin as early as 1:00 p.m. Plan to move into your complexes early that morning so everything is set up and ready to go for Get Connected that afternoon! Volunteers for Get Connected will be at your complex to help you move in and get you checked in to the events!

*Note: Proceed with caution when selecting housing for the Winter semester as there have not been any official announcements about classes being held on campus or remotely. Talk with the housing managements to see how they are handling  contracts during this time.  ​​

The Spirit of Ricks

President Clark said,

“The Spirit of Ricks is the defining characteristic of BYU-Idaho. It is something we share as a university community. We experience the Spirit of Ricks because individual students and individual employees receive spiritual light and use spiritual gifts.”
