Managing Your Enrollment

Occasionally, you may need to take a semester off or you might prefer to attend on a flex-semester in addition to or instead of your on-track semester.

• Campus Students: Most campus students easily manage their assigned track using deferments, overrides, and online study. For more info, see Year-Round Enrollment Options. For information on changing Track Assignments contact the Admissions Office at (208) 496-1300.
• Online students: Online students do not have a track assignment. They can miss up to two semesters in a row without needing to reapply. To skip more than two semesters and avoid having to reapply, they would need to defer their enrollment. For more info, see Deferment Options.
