The University Press published scholarly materials for distribution outside of the university. The University Press also functioned as a service for publishing materials for University use, such as the Daily Universe. Mail services were also under the direction of the Brigham Young University Press.

Divisions that had their own directors within University Press included Graphic Communications Department, Marketing, Press Business Office, Printing Service, Mail Service, and Editorial Department. In 1984 the Brigham Young University Press was renamed Brigham Young University Print Services.
