To provide a smooth transition into the MS in Cybersecurity, please take the time to do the following:
My.boisestate.edu account
When your application was originally processed, you received a notification letter from the Graduate College containing your username, student ID number, and Boise State email address. Set up your my.boisestate account by going to my.boisestate.edu using the login information provided in the letter. My.boisestate.edu is your source for all of your campus information. You can access your email, calendar, course websites, student center, and much more through this portal.
Boise State students receive email via BroncoMail. Your BroncoMail address is typically your first and last name followed by @u.boisestate.edu. As a graduate assistant, you will also receive an employee email address. Employee email addresses are typically the employee's first and last name followed by @boisestate.edu. Employee email accounts are immediately deactivated if your employment is suspended. Thus, we recommend that you use your BroncoMail email account as your primary account and forward your employee email to your BroncoMail account. You are responsible for checking both accounts.
Housing
Ample housing options are available near campus. You can work with University Housing for on-campus options if you apply early. If you are using Craigslist or Classified Ads, common searches for housing near the university (less than 3 miles away from campus) include BSU, Downtown Boise, East End, North End, the Bench, and Southeast Boise. Peruse the bulletin boards in the Student Union Building (SUB) if you are already on campus.
Meet with your assigned faculty advisor to discuss first semester courses and register for classes
You should discuss your graduate course plan with your Program Coordinator. During orientation, the week before classes program staff will discuss how to create a course plan.
Course Registration
To register for classes, access the Student Center on my.boisestate.edu. Instructions are found online on the registrar's website.
Obtain your BroncoCard (Boise State University student ID card)
Your Bronco Card provides access to University facilities, including classrooms, residence halls, the testing center, athletic events, the REC, and more! Additionally, your Bronco Card holds funds for on-campus commerce, including print money, meal plans, and dining dollars. Need to check out a book at the Library, ride the bus, or score discounts at the Games Center and around town? Show them your Bronco Card!
Be sure to request a proxy BroncoCard. Your BroncoCard gives you card reader access to select buildings, labs and study areas. You will use your BroncoCard to access the Recreation Center, purchase meal plans, and can also, optionally, make cashless purchases on campus with Dining Dollars. More information about your BroncoCard can be found on the BroncoCard website.
Transport options between main campus and Computer Science classrooms: Bronco Shuttle, walk, bike, skateboard, scooter, bus, drive
Transportation options and guidance for students taking classes in the Computer Science facilities in downtown Boise are provided here: https://www.boisestate.edu/coen-cs/currentstudents/aboutccp/#ride
Purchase a Parking Pass if you plan to park on campus
Parking on University Drive and other city-maintained streets is permitted without a Boise State parking permit. Signs posted on city-maintained streets describe any restrictions. Otherwise, parking on campus requires a Boise State parking permit. You can purchase your parking permit and find out more about transportation options online.
