Fall Semester 2010
Banner Conversion and Processing
Idaho State University has been changing administrative systems over the past several years. Banner HR/Payroll went live January 2009 and Banner Finance was activated July 2009. Effective for Fall 2010, Banner Financial Aid and Banner Student modules (including Student Accounts Receivable) will replace the HP1 Financial Aid, Student, and Student Fee systems. These system changes will significantly impact student registration, financial aid, fee payment, and refund processes. BengalWeb gives students on-line access to most functions from application to financial aid application/processing to fee payment. CashNet provides a secure on-line payment gateway for payment processes and E-Refunds.
Tuition and Fee Payment Information
Fee processing for Fall 2010 will begin in early July 2010. Student account information is available on BengalWeb under the Finances tab. Notification to students will be in the form of email, campus announcements, and personal announcements. Please pay attention to the alerts that are sent. No Registration Bills or TranPay forms will be sent this fall. You will be expected to use the tools available on BengalWeb to establish eligibility for financial aid, monitor your accounts, and complete fee payment.
An Orientation Fee of $35 is assessed to all new degree-seeking undergraduate students. All new students should plan to attend the orientation program the week before classes begin. More information concerning cost of attendance can be found here.
Financial Aid processing begins August 13, 2010, for students who have completed financial aid acceptance and authorization requirements. Account information will be available on-line and refunds will be delivered only by mail or directly to your bank account.
Installment plans will be available for Fall Semester beginning mid-July on BengalWeb. Students will be expected to pay the first installment at the time the installment plan is set up, with automatic deductions from a checking account, debit, or credit card for the remaining installments. More information will be available soon.
Fees are due Friday, August 20. If you will be attending ISU this fall please arrange to complete fee payment by August 20. If you will not be attending this fall, please drop the classes, making them available to students who will be attending. Disenrollment of students who have not paid fees Friday night, August 20. Classes begin Monday, August 23 at 5:00 p.m.
A $50 late handling fee will be charged to students paying fees Saturday, August 21 through Friday, September 3. Students who have not paid fees by September 3rd will again be disenrolled from classes.
Late registration and/or fee payment after September 3 is by permission only. A late registration petition will be required of those students who have not paid fees by Friday, September 3, 2010, and a $100 late fee will be charged.
On-Line Registration and Fee Payment
Students are expected to take care of admissions, class selection, financial aid application and authorization, and fee payment on-line through BengalWeb. Please pay attention to email, campus and personal announcements, and account information. Account information for students will appear on the Finances tab, and will reflect tuition, fees, miscellaneous charges, financial aid, exemptions, and third-party (agency) payments.
In place of in-person ballroom registration, students who need help with on-line fee payment processes can stop by the Rendezvous Center computer lab Thursday, August 19 and Friday, August 20. Representatives from Financial Aid, Finance and Administration, Residence Life, and the Computer Center Help Desk will be available to help students complete fee payment and related activities. Immediate processing and change check processing are not available in person. Students should plan to complete on-line registration and financial aid requirements by August 12 to take advantage of priority processing, which begins Friday, August 13. Refund checks will be mailed, or E-Refund ACH bank deposits will be processed beginning August 13. Banner processes rely on batch processing for applying financial aid and processing refunds, and change checks will be mailed to the mailing address on the student system.
University of Idaho Students
If you are taking classes from the University of Idaho in Fall Semester 2010, your classes will no longer appear on the ISU system. Please look for your account on the University of Idaho website. If you have matriculated through ISU, and are taking UI classes, you will need to arrange payment at each institution for the classes you will be taking at each.
If you are a graduate student taking at least 9 credits, or an undergraduate taking 10 credits or more between the two instituitions, please contact Alice Allen at UI (282-7816) or Paul Winder at ISU (282-3935) for adjustments to fees between the two institutions
Students seeking a degree through University of Idaho should coordinate with UI to receive financial aid. If you are taking classes from ISU, please check with a financial aid counselor concerning a consortium agreement to maximize your eligiblity for federal financial aid. ISU degree-seeking students taking UI classes should similarly consider a consortium agreement for the UI credits.
