International Students Graduating/ Leaving After Winter 2025 Semester
International students who are returning to their home country after this semester and paid the international processing fee when they were accepted to BYU–Hawaii should submit the Travel Request to Return Home form to receive arranged airfare. Allow a 30-day processing time from when you submit your request and the departure date.
The payment deadline for Winter 2025 charges and past-due balances is Friday, April 18. Failure to pay will result in a hold on your student account that prevents adding and dropping classes until the balance has been cleared with Financial Services. Classes for Spring 2025 will be dropped if you are enrolled.
All students who anticipate receiving federal aid CANNOT take 50% or more of their credits in online classes. Doing this will make you ineligible for federal aid.
All students who anticipate receiving scholarships provided through BYU–Hawaii must be registered for a minimum of 12 credits (fall/winter) or eight credits (spring) to receive their scholarships.
IWORK and Hukilau Participant Employment Deadlines
All IWORK or Hukilau program students must secure a job with BYU–Hawaii (BYUH) or the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) by the third Wednesday after classes begin.
The PCC has the first opportunity to hire students in the IWORK program. Those not selected by the PCC must find employment at BYUH.
Any students in the IWORK or Hukilau programs still not employed by BYUH or the PCC by the second Wednesday after classes begin are required to meet with an IWORK, financial aid, or student employment counselor within 48 hours. Counselors will help students to find a job.
Failure to meet with a counselor and secure a job by the third Wednesday after classes begin will no longer be eligible for IWORK or Hukilau funding.
