Welcome to the YoteFam! We are so excited that you will be joining us this Fall!
Your first day of class will be here before you know it. So, make sure you are keeping track of next steps and important dates.
Below you will find information that will help you prepare for the next chapter in your education at The College of Idaho. If you still have questions after reviewing this information, please feel free to reach out to your admission counselor!
Access your Student Portal to complete the following:
Community Living Agreement: Whether you live on- or off-campus, all new students are required to submit a Community Living Agreement no later than July 1. The Community Living Agreement is where you will rank your housing preferences.
It’ll also help the Residence Life team get to know you so that they can match you with the perfect roommate. The sooner you submit this, the sooner you will learn which floor you’ll call home next year!
If you want to petition to waive the housing and/or meal plan requirements, please contact your admission counselor. If you have any further questions about housing, please contact Residence Life.
Residence Life: Not sure which dorm is right for you? Join current students for a peek at the three first year residence halls.
