We’re Here to Help at Every Step
Starting college can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure where to begin or how it will fit into your life. You don’t need to have everything figured out before taking the first step.
At ISU Twin Falls, we’re here to guide you, answer your questions, and help you move forward—at a pace that works for you.
How to Get Started
Apply First. Decide Later.
Applying is simply how you open the door to explore your options. It does not mean you’re choosing a degree, signing up for classes, or committing to attend.
Once you apply, you’ll have access to advising support, answers to your questions, and guidance on next steps. You can move forward at your own pace — or pause if life changes.
Frequently Asked Application Questions
