General Information
Students must be 18 years of age by the first day of the semester to apply to learn English and have graduated from high school (or the equivalent of 12th grade in the US) by the application deadline. Applicants who will turn 18 during their first semester may request an exception to the age requirement by emailing the ELC Office (elc_admissions@byu.edu) to request the forms for an exception.
To apply to learn English at the ELC, first complete the online application (click "Apply Now" below).
After you have completed the online portion of the application, you will need to mail several documents to us in order to complete the application process.
If you have any questions about the application process, or if for any reason you are unable to complete the online application, please email us and we will assist you.
NOTE: While certified translations of transcripts are not required for admission to the English Language Center, they are required when applying to other universities (BYU, BYU-I, BYU-H, Ensign, etc.). If you plan on applying to a university while studying at the ELC, begin collecting your application materials before you leave your country. Often times transcript certification is required for admission to universities in the US and it may be easier to get that information prior to leaving the country.
