Forms:

The Application for Admission to Candidacy for Graduate Degree or Certificate:

The form is available online at the graduate college website at: http://www.boisestate.edu/gradcoll/0004.html
The original paper form with original signatures (not a fax or xerox) must be submitted to the Graduate Admission and Degree Services office at MG-141 by the deadline. Incomplete forms will be returned to the department and will need to be resubmitted by the deadline.
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 yet been completed. This includes Thesis, Project, or Comprehensive Examination credits.
Any credits to be transferred in from another institution must be listed as transfer credits and must include the name of the originating institution.
Any required courses in a degree plan that are to be replaced with substitute courses must be fully documented on a Request for Adjustment of Academic Requirements form which should accompany the Candidacy form.
It is very important that the exact title of the degree or certificate is listed on the Candidacy form.

The Request for Adjustment of Academic Requirements:

The form is available online at the graduate college website at: http://www.boisestate.edu/gradcoll/0004.html

Used to request a change in a degree plan or to waive a requirement

Appointment of Supervisory Committee:

The form is available online at the graduate college website at: http://www.boisestate.edu/gradcoll/0004.html

The Online Degree Progress Report (DPR):

This can be accessed by students through their BroncoWeb account at: http://broncoweb.boisestate.edu and can be used to monitor their progress during the last stages of the degree process.
The final adjustments to the DPR are not done until the student’s Candidacy form has been submitted. At that time, any adjustments to the degree plan are posted.
Transfer credits are not posted until both the Candidacy form and all required transcripts are received.

The Online Application for Graduate Degree or Certificate:
