How do I obtain an unofficial transcript?Unofficial copies will not be mailed or faxed. Unofficial transcripts are used as an academic advisor's copy or if the student just wants a copy for their own use. Students who have attended Boise State since Spring 2001 have access to unofficial transcripts via BroncoWeb. Pre-2001 students may obtain an unofficial copy only in person with a photo ID. We can print a copy while you wait at no charge. Back to Top

or faxed. Please note: While Boise State considers our faxed transcripts as

official by the receiver.

What credits will Boise State accept?Boise State University accepts all academic
credits from regionally accredited institutions. If you have earned credits from
an institution that is not regionally accredited, you may still be able to
transfer those credits to Boise State. In such cases, the department offering
similar courses can review the credits you wish to transfer and decide which
credits – if any – to accept. You must initiate this process with the
assistance of your advisor. Back to Top
What if I have completed an associate degree at another college or university?
If you have earned an
academic associate degree at a regionally accredited institution, you will
be considered “core certified” by Boise State University. This means that
you have fulfilled the lower-division general education or “core” classes
at Boise State and can transfer to Boise State with junior standing. The
statement “GENERAL UNIVERSITY CORE MET” will appear on your credit report.
If you are transferring from an Idaho school and have not earned an
associate degree, you may still be considered “core certified” if your
transcript is stamped “core certified” by the Registrar’s Office of your
original institution.

or by phone on Monday-Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm in the Registrar's BroncoWeb Help

If you complete a Privacy Request Form, any honors you receive will not be released to your local newspaper. Back to Top
What does a "W" do to my GPA?A "W" will not affect your GPA. Boise State limits the number of W's a student may receive while enrolled.
