Registration

How priority days are assigned is in our BYU and UVU class registration guide.

Tuition

BYU Financial Services says tuition is due seven calendar days before the first day of class. For a Sept. 1 start, that's Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2027, though the office's posted list doesn't reach Fall 2027 yet. If tuition isn't paid by the due date, BYU puts a hold on your account, and if it's still unpaid at the add/drop deadline, your classes may be dropped and you may need to reapply for admission. Rates are in our BYU tuition guide.
