Special Needs General Information

Admission to BYU-Hawaii

  All students compete for admission to BYU-Hawaii based on the same criteria. There are no exceptions or changing of criteria for students with disabilities. Although students who feel they have special circumstances that the Admissions Committee should consider may include a letter with their application explaining their situation, applicants are not required to disclose their special needs or disabilities during the application process. The Admissions Office is located in the Administration Building (808) 293-3738.

Disability Law

  Brigham Young University Hawaii is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The university makes every effort to accommodate individuals with disabilities within the scope of existing laws.

Discontinuance

  If a student needs to discontinue school during the semester, the individual should confer with his/her SNS counselor. The student should also work with the Discontinuance Office, (808) 293-3558, in the Student Development Center. It would be wise for students who discontinue during fall or winter semester also to speak to an admissions advisor concerning his/her chances of being re-accepted to BYU-H in the future.
