ADMISSIONS POLICY

The official admission policy at Brigham Young University is set forth clearly in its catalog as follows: "Students of any race, creed, color, or national origin are accepted for admission to Brigham Young University provided they maintain ideals and standards in harmony with those of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and meet the University's acadernic requirements . . . ."

This policy, in statement, or in fact, in no way restricts anyone from attending BYU because of the color of his skin. Negroes, Indians, Hawaiians, Japanese, and all other races, are all welcome; and all have been, and are now, a part of our student body at BYU. During the current semester more than a thousand students from approximately 70 foreign countries have selected BYU as the University of their choice. Their color ranges from black to brown to yellow to white. Their religious affiliation from Islam to Hindu to Roman Catholic to Protestant to Mormon. To our knowledge there are few, if any, universities in the United States that have tried harder to make minority-group and foreign students more welcome.
