Busing approved from Blackfoot & Fort Hall for dual-enrollment classes at ISU

Idaho State University’s College of Arts & Letters has received approval for high school students in Fort Hall and Blackfoot to travel to Idaho State University’s campus by commuter bus to participate in on-campus dual-enrollment programs.

The College of Arts and Letter’s on-campus dual-enrollment program started this fall, but most students were from the Pocatello area due to transportation issues.

The City of Blackfoot and Pocatello Regional Transit will provide transportation to and from ISU for students to attend classes.

The schedule follows:

Pick Up Times

Snake River H.S. 11:45 a.m. 1:45 p.m.

Riverside Plaza 11:56 a.m. 1:56 p.m.

Sho-Ban Hotel 12:13 p.m. 2:13 p.m.

ISU Central Campus 12:30 p.m. 2:30 p.m.

Drop Off Times

Riverside Plaza 3:04 p.m. 5:04 p.m.

Snake River H.S. 3:15 p.m. 5:15 p.m.

The on-campus dual-enrollment program allows students to take college-level courses that fulfill both ISU’s core objectives and high school graduation requirements.

Fees are covered through the state’s Fast Forward program funds. Courses are available in anthropology, English, history, philosophy, political science, international students, theatre, art, and dance.

If a student is interested in participating in the on-campus dual-enrollment program, they can contact a counselor at their local high school or Holly Kartchner at kartholl@isu.edu or (208) 282-5362.

Questions regarding the bus schedule can be directed to Kartchner as well.
