NOTE: Submission guidelines and deadlines below supersede deadlines published by the University.

Program Development Form
This is a map or a plan of your graduate career. It also serves as your petition if you wish to transfer credits from another institution or program. Changes to your plan of study should be made in consultation with your advisor.

This form should be submitted to Jerry Foster with your personal statement at time of application. He will assist you in completing the form.

Application for Admission to Candidacy Form
(example of completed form)
This is a contract that must be submitted when you complete 18 credits. It is very similar to the Program Development Form, but you cannot change your schedule after this form has been submitted without first discussing the change with your advisor and submitting a Request for Academic Adjustment form. Approved transfer courses must appear on the AAC form.

  • Fill out and mail the original form to your faculty advisor. Please allow us several days to obtain required signatures for you.
  • The Candidacy form must be in the graduate office by the deadline or the student will not be able to apply online for graduation.  Broncoweb is setup to block applications for graduation unless the Candidacy form has been recorded as received by Graduate Admission and Degree Services.
  • Candidacy forms must be filled out completely.  This means that all credits needed must be listed on the form, even if they have not been completed.  This includes Thesis, Project, or Comprehensive Examination credits.

The Application for Admission to Candidacy form also declares your catalog year. To change catalogs, you must file a revised AAC.

Academic Adjustment Form (Master's degrees only)
Use this form to request an adjustment of degree requirements

Application for Written Comprehensive Exam (Submitted online only)
When students are nearing completion of 27 credits, they should consult with their advisor, and then submit this form.

Completion of Graduate Degree (Submitted online only)

  • Students now apply through BroncoWeb at:  http://broncoweb.boisestate.edu .  Start by logging in using your BroncoWeb account, click on Registrar, then on Apply for Graduation. If you are unable to apply, please be sure that your Application for Admission to Candidacy form has been submitted and approved.
  • Fees are $25 for those applying for a degree and $20 for those applying for a certificate.  Students working on both a degree and a certificate will need to apply twice, once for each program.
  • Late applications will be charged a $25 late fee in addition to the $25 fee for degree or $20 fee for Certificate.
