paper on one of the workshops: 5 pages in length for 1 credit. It will be
due the final day of regular classes for Spring Semester.

If you take the workshop for 2 credits, you must attend

To register for the
workshop, you will need to complete an override form, found at
http://registrar.boisestate.edu/Forms/BroncoWebOverrideForm.pdf. This
form will need to be signed by Dr. Bostaph in the Department of Criminal
Justice. (BroncoWeb will not allow you to register online because the
week-long schedule shows a conflict with your other classes. You do not
have to attend all the workshops – you can attend them as they fit in your
schedule.)
If you still have
questions on how to register, please stop in the CJ office (Library 166 on
the BSU Main Campus), or call 426-3407 for assistance.
