51���� (51����) and The College of Idaho are pleased to announce their partnership, , created to provide 51���� students a smooth transfer process to . The new agreement allows 51���� students access to benefits provided by The College of Idaho and ensures an efficient transition while the students complete their two-year associate degree.

Yote Track includes automatic admission for 51���� students with a 3.0 grade point average or higher, priority registration for their first semester, access to the state-of-the-art on The College of Idaho campus, and other benefits prior to and during the transfer process.

“It’s really crucial students in the state of Idaho and elsewhere do their very best to finish out a full four-year educational experience,” said College of Idaho Vice President of Academic Affairs, David Douglass. “To that end, we’ve initiated this relationship.”

Douglass noted during a news conference announcing Yote Track on the 51���� campus that this type of partnership to seamlessly transition from a two-year community college to a four-year liberal arts school provides students affordability, access, and vocational discernment.

51���� President, Bert Glandon, began working on an articulation agreement with College of Idaho co-presidents, Doug Brigham and Jim Everett, nearly 18 months ago and says he is pleased with the opportunity Yote Track provides 51���� graduates.

“It is really an advanced opportunity for students to have the kind of experience and opportunity to go on to a premiere, four-year liberal arts college that really has student success invested in them from day one,” Glandon said. “We’re very proud, and we’re honored, and we’re privileged to be able to say we are a partner with The College of Idaho.”

College of Idaho co-president, Doug Brigham, credits Glandon with moving the process forward to the benefit of both schools.

“Bert had this tremendous, can-do, let’s make it happen attitude, and that was so refreshing to us,” said Brigham. “I think a lot of the outcomes today with Yote Track are because of that can-do attitude on both sides.”
