A number of daytime, evening and weekend courses are still available for graduate, undergraduate and applied tech- nology students. But Wheeler said he expects those openings to fill soon. "It's a persons advantage to apply now versus later," hesaid, Students can initiate the process by calling the admis- sions office, or stopping by the any of the administration offices at the Boise, Canyon County, Mountain Home or Gowen Field campuses. Wheeler said that at this point moststudents will need to enroll as nondegree-seeking students, which means they'll be limited to seven or fewer credits and won't be eligible for federal financial aid. However, full-time opportunities still exist in some applied technology and graduate programs. Boise State is currently accepting degree-seeking appli- cations for spring semester.
