  • For Student Applicants – you can access BOSS using your BengalWeb User Name and Password. If you are a newly admitted ISU student, a link will be sent to you in an Email using the Email Address you provided on the ISU Admission Application. This link will take you to a web page where you will be asked to create a Password for your ISU Email and BengalWeb accounts. If you need help with this process, please contact the IT Service Desk at 208-282-HELP (4357) or help@isu.edu.
