What do my fees pay for?
The education programs at ISU charges fees to admitted students in addition to tuition charged to all ISU graduate/undergraduate students. Several types of fees are authorized by the Idaho State Board of Education. The fees in education programs are course or lab fees. The definitions of these two fee types are printed below.
Students at times inquire about how these special fees are used in our programs. Below we have listed the amount of fees collected in each category and a general description of how they were used during the 2008-2009 academic year. Students interested in more detail may contact the program director listed below.
Special Course fees or Assessments
A special course fee is a fee required for a specific course or special activity and, therefore, not required of all students enrolled at the institution. Fees such as penalty assessments, library fines, continuing education fees, parking fines, laboratory fees, breakage fees, fees for video outreach courses, late registration fees, and fees for special courses offered for such purposes as remedial education credit that do not count toward meeting degree requirements are considered special course fees. All special course fees or penalty assessments, or changes to such fees or assessments, are established and become effective in the amount and at the time specified by the chief executive officer of the institution. The chief executive officer is responsible for reporting these fees to the Board upon request.
