The university encourages all students to authorize direct deposit. If you have not already done so, please go to Route Y and select the "Direct Deposit" link under "Work." You may also click on "authorize direct deposit" at the bottom of your tuition billing statement.

U.S. transfer students applying with more than 28 semester or 42 quarter hours of college or university credit completed after high school graduation must complete and submit the following:

• Part 1: Student Information
• Part 2: School Selection/Scholarships
• Part 3: Confidential Report
• Part 4: Seminary/Institute Evaluation
• Part 7: Student Essay & Other Information
• A $35 nonrefundable application fee per school
• Official transcripts from each college or university that you are attending or have attended

If you have fewer than 28 credit hours, we will need your high school transcripts and ACT/SAT score, in addition to your college transcripts. Once you have more than 28 transferable college credit hours completed after high school, we will no longer need your high school work.

Scholarships, federal grants, and loans will first be applied to pay outstanding tuition, fees, and expenses. Remaining funds will be disbursed starting the business day before classes begin. However, if a student is only part-time, the excess funds will be released once the student is either full time, confirms they will not be changing their schedule, or after the add/drop deadline.

• Students should go to My Financial Center and set up direct deposit. This will allow aid funds to flow to the students checking account.
• Students without direct deposit will have a paper check mailed a week later to their current local mailing address. Students may update their address in Update Personal Information in Route Y.

In order to graduate from BYU, a student must complete at least 120 semester hours of credit. The elective hours granted for the AP/IB tests count toward this hour requirement. Elective hours also help move your registration date earlier.
