Any applicant who is or ever has been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter–day Saints must submit the endorsement, filled out online at endorse.byu.edu and completed by the applicant’s LDS bishop or branch president and by a member of their current stake or district presidency after an interview with them. The endorsement certifies that the applicant is in good standing in the Church and demonstrates in daily living, both on and off campus, his or her commitment to the BYU Honor Code and all moral virtues encompassed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ including regular church attendance.
Applicants who are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints must maintain the same standards of conduct as Church members, except church attendance. Non-LDS applicants must obtain an ecclesiastical endorsement by interviewing with their local ecclesiastical leader if they are an active member of the congregation or the bishop of the LDS ward in which they currently reside, and the nondenominational BYU chaplain, 3490 WSC, BYU, Provo, UT 84602, 801-422-2293. Please contact BGS if help is needed in locating a bishop. The stake president interview is not required.
Unless granted an exception, an applicant who is currently excommunicated, disfellowshipped, or disaffiliated from the Church is not admissible until reinstated to full fellowship in the Church. Also, unless granted an exception, an applicant who is on probation with the Church or who otherwise lacks an ecclesiastical endorsement is not admissible until the issue giving rise to the probation or lack of ecclesiastical endorsement is resolved with the applicant’sauthorized ecclesiastical leader. Applicants seeking an exception to this policy must complete an Application for Exception to Policy form available from the executive director of BYU Enrollment Services. The university ultimately reserves the right to make the admission decision.
