Requirements for Provisional Students

Students are generally admitted to Boise State University under Provisional admission status when they do not complete the Idaho College Admission Core classes that are outlined by the Idaho State Board of Education. If you are admitted to Boise State University with Provisional status, you are required to complete 14 credits of specific course work within three semesters. The 14 credits must include one English composition course plus one class from each of the three General Education Core areas (Area I- Arts/Humanities, Area II- Social Sciences, and Area III- Natural Science and Mathematics). You must earn a grade of "C-" or better in each of these classes.

For a complete list of core courses you can choose from to fulfill the Provisional requirements we recommend reviewing each of the core areas in the catalog, or you can review the Provisional section of your Academic Advisement Report (AAR) once you are a student. Detailed instructions on how to run the AAR can be found in the Help Documentation for BroncoWeb. We strongly encourage you to contact Advising and Academic Support at (208) 426-4049 to discuss how you will meet these requirements.

Students who do not complete the requirements by the end of their third semester will be changed to nondegree-seeking status. Nondegree-seeking students are limited to a maximum of seven credits or two classes each semester, and they are not eligible for financial aid. Students who are switched to non-degree seeking status will not be able to return as a degree-seeking student until they complete the Provisional requirements.
