Through an alliance agreement, students enroll for courses in the Great Plains IDEA Inter-Institutional programs through their home institution. This process aids in certifying hours for financial aid, and eliminates the need to request transcripts from each of the teaching institutions.
Students pay K-State for their courses and the money is transferred to the teaching institution, if different than K-State. Tuition for all courses is $415 per credit hour for the 2008-2009 school year. Textbooks used in the courses are purchased separately, and are usually available through the local campus bookstore, or online through Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com.
Courses are taught by instructors at each of the participating universities. Specific enrollment information is sent to each student after acceptance into their respective program, then prior to the enrollment period for each semester. The enrollment deadline is typically three weeks prior to the start of each semester.
