Educational advisors are available to assist you in meeting admission requirements, applying for financial aid, reviewing basic skills or helping you select the program that best fits your skills and needs. Call 562-2100 to schedule an appointment.
Registration for Applied Technology Students
Students now register for their classes online via BroncoWeb! Once you are admitted to Boise State, you are assigned a date and time to register. At that time, you simply log on and register for the courses you have selected. If you do not have access to the Internet, or you would like assistance in registering, you may go to one of the computer labs at the Canyon County Campus (see location and hours below), and someone will assist you.
