Associated Students of Idaho State University (ASISU)

 ASISU is the sponsor for all student organizations at Idaho State University. All registered clubs and organizations receive their funding from ASISU. Therefore, it is important that you become familiar with ASISU, its purpose, its members, and the role it will play in your student organization.

  ASISU is funded by a $66.75/semester fee for students enrolled in eight or more credit hours and a $7.00/hour semester fee for students carrying less than eight credit hours.The ASISU Finance Committee, Senate, and General Manager work together in allocating the revenue generated from ASISU fees.Most registered clubs and organizations are eligible to apply for funding from these fees.In addition to participating in programs and events, each student is encouraged to use the services of ASISU through membership in clubs and organizations.  

The ASISU Student Government consists of representatives from all areas of the University.Each spring, elections are held to select the ASISU President and Vice President, College of Technology Student Body President and Vice President, and the ASISU Senators for the following academic year. These individuals, along with other appointees, represent the student body. It is crucial that the needs and desires of the student body be communicated to the administration. All students are welcome and urged to become involved in the decision making process at ISU by participating in student government.  

The ASISU Ombudsman answers students’ questions about campus resources, housing, issues concerning faculty, etc.The Ombudsman also advises students about University processes (e.g. appeals), and serves as a student advocate to support students throughout such processes.   For comprehensive explanation of each student’s privileges and obligations, one can read the Student Code of Conduct, the ASISU Constitution, and/or the Student Handbook. These documents were designed to make life easier for students while attending ISU. These documents can be obtained without charge from the ASISU office (Room 299 of the PSUB Hypostyle).The following documents can also be obtained in the ASISU office: ASISU By-Laws, committee listings, current committee members, ASISU Senate Resolutions, and the ASISU Senate meeting minutes.Also check the web site: http://www.isu.edu/asisu for listed publications.
