Worried about paying for school? Need a payment plan? We can help! |
Payment plans are now available for the 2021-2022 school year. If your student has an outstanding balance due, let us help! Check out our Paying Your Bill webpage for more information. We encourage students that are unable to pay their entire balance by the September 13, 2021 deadline to sign up for a payment plan. Payment plans have a one-time $30 enrollment fee, but do not charge any interest. Signing up for a payment plan also ensures that your student is not charged late fees.
Students and families that have experienced a loss of income due to unemployment, divorce, the death of a family member, or other circumstances should contact the Financial Aid office. These students may be eligible for a recalculation of their award eligibility due to these special circumstances. Contact Financial Aid at finaidem@isu.edu or 208-282-2756.

If your student is planning to graduate this fall |
It is important that students apply for graduation early so that the Registrar’s Office can evaluate their applications in a timely manner. The graduation application date for a Fall (December 17, 2021) graduation is September 13, 2021. This date is the same for all undergraduate and graduate applications, and it applies to all degrees and certificates.
The deadline is for applying to have a degree or certificate awarded; it does not apply to commencement or any other ceremonies or celebrations, but students must apply in order to graduate. Missing the graduation application deadline or not applying can impact a student and their ability to find employment. If you or your student has questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office at reginfo@isu.edu or (208) 282-2661. They are looking forward to working with you to ensure that your student applies on time and has a successful graduation.
