Getting Started
Academic Advisor
Your advisor at Boise State University is a valuable asset. It is their role to guide you through the complexity of enrolling in the courses that will get you to your academic and career goals. As you advance in your program, we hope that your relationship evolves from merely scheduling classes to working with scholarships, internships, study abroad, job placement, and how to apply for jobs in your desired career areas.
We highly recommend meeting with an academic advisor as you navigate the process of creating your course plan. Our advising staff work with your individual circumstances, personal development, and skills to provide advice on:
- Degree planning, academic requirements, policies and procedures
- Exploration of minors and certificates, and
- Referral to campus resources.
