Admission Checklist for NonDegree-Seeking Graduate Students
1. Submit an Application for Graduate Admission to Graduate Admission and Degree Services, along with the one-time, non-refundable $55 application fee.
2. Request an official transcript from the institution that granted your highest degree. Transcripts can be turned in by hand if they are in the original sealed envelopes or they can be mailed or faxed to us directly from the originating institution. Please note that you DO NOT have to supply a Boise State University transcript. If you are a non-degree seeking student, you may register for as many credits as you wish but you will be ineligible for financial aid. Please be sure to check the current Class Schedule to see if your classes need prerequisites or departmental approval. Some classes are not available for non-degree seeking students but are reserved for those already in a degree program.
