Programs Not Included
The tuition reduction program, reduces tuition fees only. There are a few programs at Idaho State University that do not have any tuition related costs and are supported by online program fees instead. These programs are not eligible for the tuition reduction program.
These programs that are not eligible can be found on the Student Tuition and Fees Distribution website. Please make sure you locate and select the year you will be enrolled and look for the section labeled ONLINE PROGRAM FEES to confirm your program is not listed and is eligible for reduction.
