Welcome to the Bronco Family! Thanks for meeting with us for your first advising appointment. Here’s checklist of your next steps.
Follow the step-by-step guide below to complete the agreement. This will remove the hold in your myBoiseState account so you can register for classes. You must complete the Financial Agreement before registering each semester. Find the agreement in the “Tasks” tile of your myBoiseState Student Center.Â
Register for your first semester of classes as soon as possible. It’s important to register for all of the courses you and your advisor discussed, even if they are taken in two separate sessions during the semester.Â
Registering as soon as possible is important especially if you plan to use financial aid. The Boise State Financial Aid Office will disburse aid based on the total number of credits you’re enrolled in for the semester, (1st and 2nd 7-week sessions combined).Â
The Boise State Academic Calendar covers everything from the first day of class to graduation dates. Make sure you are viewing dates in the appropriate session for the classes you’re enrolled in (for example, the regular session versus the 2nd 7-week session).
The following items do not apply to everyone. Read below to find out if you need to complete these tasks.
If you are planning to use Financial Aid (federal loans, grants or scholarships) to pay for school, please complete the FAFSA as soon as possible! Double check that you’re filling out the correct year for the semester you are attending.
If you have submitted your FAFSA, take care of any To-Do items listed on your myBoiseState account in order for your FAFSA to be processed.

The fee payment plan is available for students to enroll in each semester. The plan breaks your fees into three monthly payments over the course of the semester. This plan must be set up before the fee payment deadline.
If you’re a military student using Tuition Assistance (TA) benefits, it is crucial that you contact Tatum Jenkins at militaryprograms@boisestate.edu as soon as possible.
If you are using any other type of military benefit, please contact Veteran Services as soon as possible to get started on your paperwork.
Passport to Education is a program for Interdisciplinary Professional Studies and Bachelor of Applied Science students only. If you are using Passport to Education, please contact your academic advisor to make sure you have completed the necessary paperwork.
Your textbooks will be listed with The Bronco Shop each semester and will be available for purchase before the semester starts. Purchase your textbooks before classes start so that you’re prepared to participate on the first day.
Time management skills are crucial for students in online courses. Now is the time to think through your schedule and consider the time commitment.
A part-time schedule requires approximately 20-25 hours per week of work and a full-time schedule requires approximately 40 hours per week of work. Please consider these hours when making a decision about class load.
After you review more information about time management below, let your advisor know if you have any questions about your class schedule.
