Idaho Residency Requirements

Idaho Residency Requirements for Fee Payment

In determining residency for fee assessment purposes, Idaho State University is governed by Idaho Statute 33-3717B https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/Title33/T33CH37/SECT33-3717B/ and Idaho State Board of Education Rules. https://adminrules.idaho.gov/rules/2013/08/0104.pdf

Initial Determination of Residency Status

A student’s residency status is determined during the admissions process based upon the information provided on ISU’s admission application.

Changing Residency Status

If a student would like to request a change in residency status, the first step is to complete the Idaho Residency Determination Worksheet (IRDW). The IRDW can be downloaded from: https://boardofed.idaho.gov/resources/residency-determination-worksheet/

If the student is requesting that ISU certify the student’s Idaho residency for application to the University of Utah Medical School, the process is the same. However, please clearly note across the top of the IRDW, “For University of Utah Medical School.”

The IRDW and supporting documentation can then be personally delivered, mailed, or emailed to the Office of the Registrar:

921 S. 8th Ave
Mail Stop 8196
Pocatello, ID 83209-8196
Phone: (208) 282-2661
