BYU-Idaho is bigger.

Again.

The university welcomed its largest incoming class in history this fall, measured by attendance at new student orientation, which is for any student new to campus. Over 8,000 students participated, four times more than fall 2023.

School officials credited the First-Year Experience Office, created in 2022, with helping new students engage in orientation, a major focus of every college and university in the Church Educational System of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

That was far from the only record set this year.

A fall semester total enrollment record

The total number of students enrolled at BYU-Idaho in any way during a fall semester is 45,584, the largest in school history.

The overall number bulges to the record when total online enrollment is added.

BYU-Idaho has 21,473 online students this fall through its partnership with BYU-Pathway Worldwide.

A new record for the three, calendar-year semesters

This semester, the campus-based student body consists of 11,849 male students and 12,262 female students (49% percent and 51% percent respectively). The total number of married students is 5,068, comprising 21 percent of the total campus-based student population.
