Advising Your Student

High school students are strongly encouraged to consult with their high school counselor or the Early College Program staff before enrolling in any courses. Future college application, admission, and intended fields of study should also be considered in their discussion to ensure proper course selection.

General Education and Elective Courses

Some ISU Objective (general education) courses are common to all majors, such as English composition, while other majors have specific requirements that fulfill both general education and a specific degree plan. Students, whenever possible, should take courses that count towards fulfillment of both their general education requirement and a program of study. Degree plans for some majors include a very limited number of elective credits. At ISU, a minimum of 120 credit hours are necessary for a bachelor's degree. For additional information please see General Education Requirements 2022-2023

Withdrawing from a Course

Students who have medical, academic, or personal reasons can choose to withdraw from an Early College Program course before the withdrawal deadline. Students withdraw from a course by logging into their BengalWeb account and clicking the add/drop classes link under the Academic Tools tab. A screen will come up that list each course being taken in that semester. The student will select “withdraw” from the drop down box for the respective course, and click submit changes. When a student withdraws from a class a “W” will be placed on their transcript and will not count toward their GPA. However, there is no tuition refund for withdrawn courses and it may affect their Advanced Opportunity funding.

If a course is offered over a two trimester or year-long period, students must be enrolled in all trimesters or semesters in order to earn the dual credit. If they transfer out at the trimester/semester please let them know that they need to withdraw from the ISU course so they do not receive a failing grade. Please also notify students who are failing the class at mid-term of their option to withdraw from the course.

Advanced Opportunities

Students in grades 7-12 attending a public school in Idaho have an allocation of $4,125 to use toward the cost of overload courses, dual credit courses, or college credit bearing exams. In order to receive funding students must create a Fast Forward account, turn in a participation form to their counselor, be registered for the course with ISU, and request funding by the appropriate deadline. For additional information please visit https://advancedops.sde.idaho.gov/. Some school districts will have the students request their funding and others will request on behalf of the student. Please check with your counselor to see the preferred method for your school district.

Associate Degree

Early College Program students who meet the degree credit requirements and have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 2.0 or higher are eligible to graduate from Idaho State University with an Associate of Arts in General Studies. To be eligible a student must:

Complete a total of at lest 60 credit hours including:
- 37 General Education Objectives Credits
- 15 Major Requirement Credits
  - 6 additional credits from College of Arts and Letters
  - 9 additional credits from General Education Requirements from College of Arts and Letters, Business, Education, Science and Engineering, or the Division of Health Sciences (restrictions: COT, ACAD, and physical activity courses: DAAC or PEAC)
- 8 additional Elective credits, from across the university, as needed to meet the 60 total credits.
At least 15 credits must be resident credits (credits earned at Idaho State University for ISU bearing courses)
Have an overall ISU cumulative undergraduate GPA of 2.0
Have a completed and cleared degree audit
Submit graduation application by March 15
Submit Transcripts from other colleges to the Registrar’s office

Students should work closely with their high school counselor and the Early College Program staff to make sure all requirements are fulfilled. Students can use an Associate of Arts in University Studies Degree Map to keep track of courses.

Academic Integrity

It is important to remember that Early College students are also Idaho State University students and will be held to the academic policies of the university, including academic integrity and dishonesty policies. ISU college credits and grades earned will be recorded on permanent college transcripts.

Academic integrity is expected of all students. Academic dishonesty, including cheating and plagiarism, is unacceptable. Please see ISU's Policies and Procedures on Student Conduct for more information.

CHEATING is using or attempting to use materials, information or study aids that are not permitted by the instructor in examinations or other academic work.

PLAGIARISM is representing another person's words, ideas, data or work as one's own.

FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) grants privacy rights to any student enrolled in a college-level course regardless of their age. ISU shall obtain written consent from students before disclosing any non-directory information from their educational records. Students wishing to restrict release of directory information should submit a Non-Disclosure Declaration to the university. Please refer to our Registrar's FERPA website for additional information.

Transferring ISU Credits

Credits earned at Idaho State University can be transferred to other colleges and universities and may be applied toward degree completion. All Idaho institutions of higher education, as well as most accredited colleges and universities accept ISU credits. Students are encouraged to consult with the institution of their choice regarding the transferability of credits earned, prior to registering for the course. The Registrar's Office at other institutions have transfer guides available to see how ISU courses will transfer to their school. To see how your credits will transfer to other Idaho institutions visit the Course Transfer Guide When transferring to another institution, students are required to submit all transcripts, regardless of grade received.
