Course Evaluations
Course evaluations use a web-based system called Blue for evaluating the vast majority of Boise State University courses.
Students and instructors can log in to Blue when an evaluation period opens, which occurs near the end of the course.
Find how-to articles for using Blue in the Learning Technology Solutions knowledge base.
Evaluation Dates
Individual Section-Instructor reports are available on the dates specified for each term. We have an enrollment threshold of 5 students. You won’t be able to access reports if fewer than 5 students are enrolled.
Remaining reports are available after the last session of the term ends (typically a concurrent enrollment or a special session) and grades are posted. This means unless otherwise stated, the remaining Fall 2024 reports will be available in January 2025.

About Blue
Boise State switched from College Net’s WDYT to Blue by Explorance Spring Semester 2022. Some historical data was migrated to Blue. See this article for information on historical reports. You can also request your WDYT reports.
The Office of the Provost manages a list of courses excluded from evaluation.
Blue is used to evaluate teaching assistants listed in PeopleSoft. See this article for more information.
