A Few Things Students Should Know
Know your rights and responsibilities outlined in the Student Code of Conduct http://www.boisestate.edu/osrr/
As a student, it is important for you to know that your personal information is confidential. If you want your parents or other family members to be able to call the university to access information about you or help with an issue, you must fill out a Release of Information, which is found on the Registrar’s website at http://registrar.boisestate.edu/Forms/ReleaseInfoForm.pdf
In the case of a medical or family emergency, the Student Affairs Office can send courtesy notifications to your professors, letting them know of your absence.

Read the Bronco Student Update to find out what’s happening on campus. A handy source for knowing all the hot happenings on campus, the Bronco Student Update is emailed to your student e-mail address every other Friday and is full of info about upcoming activities. It’s also a great way for student organizations to spread the word about their events.
Check your BroncoMail frequently, not only to get the campus lowdown, but also to stay informed about important dates and deadlines, like the deadlines to add and drop classes, waive student health insurance, or submit financial aid information.
If you want to receive campus emergency notifications, you may also choose to “Opt in” to the University’s emergency notification system on BroncoWeb.
