If you have not received these emails, please contact Career Services at (208) 426-1747 or career@boisestate.edu.

For in-person appointments, you will come to the Career Services office on the first floor of Boulder Hall. Boulder Hall is located on University Drive, just east of the SUB and across the street from the Rec Center.

To access your video appointment, you will need the meeting link and password provided in the emails you received. You will also need to download Zoom if you haven’t already.

Late Policy

Please be on time to your appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment you will be asked to reschedule. If you know you will be late, please call us at (208) 426-1747 and will do our best to accommodate.

No Show Policy

If you know you will be missing your appointment, please cancel the appointment in Handshake before the scheduled start time of the appointment. If you are unable to do so, please contact our front desk at (208) 426-1747, or contact the staff member you are scheduled to meet with directly.

Double-Booking Policy

Handshake does not allow students to book a second appointment prior to completing a first appointment. This is to ensure that all students have equitable access to our services. If you believe you need more than the allotted 50-minute appointment, you may request one with the staff member you are working with, or submit a request to career@boisestate.edu which will be reviewed and considered. In your request, please provide adequate reasoning for an extended appointment and/or multiple appointments. If you would like to set up a recurring weekly appointment, this can be scheduled without an additional approval process. Reasonable recurring appointments should have no less than 5 business days between appointments. To set up a reasonable schedule of recurring appointments please contact our front desk at ​(208) 426-1747, or in person at Career Services.
