Board Policy IIIQ – Direct Admissions

In 2015, Idaho’s Public College Presidents and State Board members embarked on a first-of-its-kind admissions policy – admitting ALL Idaho high-school graduates. They wanted every high school senior to know they were college material and to remove all the stress from the admissions process.

As a result, Board Policy IIIQ – Direct Admissions was established. According to the policy, a Board-approved benchmark determines a student’s admission eligibility. (See ID SBOE policy 3Q.)

Each fall, ALL in-state high school seniors are notified of their proactive acceptance and encouraged to research the academic and technical programs offered at Idaho community colleges and universities.

Interested students MUST complete an admission application to the institution(s) of their choice by June 30.  Applications are free when students use Apply Idaho.
