Program Policies

Registration

Students are expected to register themselves for classes each semester through the Student Center. Boise State’s academic calendars list when registration opens (typically 3 months prior to the semester starting) and deadlines for enrollment. Once registered for classes, you remain registered and are held responsible for the fees and grades assessed for these classes unless  you cancel your registration. If you do not pay for or do not attend these classes, you are still held responsible for the fees and grades assessed. If you decide to drop classes, you must log into your Student Center before the deadline and drop your classes. Specific dates apply for refunds and withdrawals. Please see the academic calendar for dates. Also, be sure to review the official University Withdrawal Policy on the the Registrar’s website at https://www.boisestate.edu/registrar/

Incompletes

Instructors can enter a grade of “I” for incomplete if both of the following conditions are met:

• Student work has been satisfactory up to the last three weeks of the semester.
• Extenuating circumstances make it impossible for the student to complete the course before the end of the semester.

To receive an incomplete, the student and instructor must agree to a contract stipulating the work that must be completed and the time in which it must be completed for you to receive a grade for the class. The time may not exceed one year. If no grade other than the incomplete has been assigned one year after the original incomplete, the grade of F will automatically be assigned.

Degree Completion

The graduation application process for graduate students consists of two parts:

Application for Admission to Candidacy (AAC)

The candidacy process serves as the official review by the Graduate College and the Program Coordinator of the student’s plan of study and course grades. An approved AAC is required before a student is eligible to apply to graduate. The form must be submitted by the student online (see Graduate College forms). The AAC should be submitted during the semester prior to planned graduation from the program

Application for Graduation

Once a student’s AAC is approved, a notification email will be sent to the student’s BroncoMail. This email will include instructions to apply for graduation via the Registrar’s office. Students are expected to submit the application for graduation online. Students are responsible for the graduation fee assessed
