BYU Education Week 2026: Aug 17–21 — Dates, Schedule & Registration
BYU Education Week 2026 runs Monday, August 17 through Friday, August 21 on the BYU campus in Provo. Full-week tuition is $115; single sessions from $30. Registration stays open online until 8:30 p.m. Mountain on August 21. Dates, prices, parking, housing and what first-timers get wrong.
For one week every August, many thousands of people descend on the BYU campus for Education Week — a sprawling continuing-education program that's among the largest events of its kind anywhere. If Provo's hotels, restaurants, and parking lots suddenly feel packed in mid-August, this is usually why.
Going this year? Our full Education Week guide covers every 2026 price tier, the registration cutoffs BYU states two different ways, parking, campus housing, and the rules that catch first-timers.
What to Expect
Education Week offers hundreds of classes across a wide range of subjects — religion and scripture, marriage and family, family history, personal finance, health, communication, and personal development — taught by a rotating roster of popular presenters. Classes run throughout the day, most about 55 minutes long, and are first-come, first-seated, so regulars learn to arrive early for the popular sessions.
Beyond the classroom, the week includes evening entertainment and keynote devotionals in the Marriott Center — the 2026 lineup includes Elder Patrick Kearon on Tuesday, August 18. The program is open to adults and youth ages 14 and older, and campus housing packages are available for those coming from out of town.
2026 Dates & Details
Education Week 2026 runs Monday, August 17 through Friday, August 21, on the BYU campus in Provo. Registration is required — attendees choose from single-session, multi-day, full-day, or full-week options and wear a name badge for admission. 2026 tuition: $115 for the full Monday–Friday week, $105 Tuesday–Friday, $50 for a block of four mornings, afternoons or evenings, $38 for Monday only, $48 for a single day Tuesday–Friday, and $30 for a single session bought during the week itself. Campus housing is separate at $150 per person and cannot be added to partial-day registrations. The full class booklet is readable and downloadable online now, and the mobile app guide is out — though BYU’s own pages disagree on that, so try it and fall back to the booklet. Register and browse classes at the official Education Week site. For prices, deadlines, parking, campus housing and the rules that catch first-timers, see our full Education Week guide.
Education Week lands right as the fall semester approaches — the same stretch that brings BYU New Student Orientation and, soon after, the BYU football home opener. Planning a visit?
