Getting Started (After you're admitted)

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.

Email

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 (e.g., you receive a fellowship or there is any lapse in your funding). 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. While we cannot recommend specific housing options, you can contact the Housing office at (208) 447-10051 for suggestions on how to find housing. 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.

Discuss and Register for Courses

You should discuss your academic course plan with your major advisor. Before your first day, we will discuss your academic background, strengths, and preferences to identify a plan for your first few semesters of coursework. To register for classes, use the student center on my.boisestate.edu. Instructions are found online on the Registrar’s website.
