BYU-Idaho Apartment Living Standards exist to preserve the integrity of the university and ensure the physical safety and spiritual well-being of each student.

The BYU-Idaho Apartment Living Standards explicitly include the tenets of the Honor Code and the principles and guidelines found in For the Strength of Youth. The following sections are not intended to restate standards that students have already committed to uphold, but rather address unique conditions and standards specific to BYU-Idaho approved housing and single student apartment life.
