Online Course Selection Instructions

Online Registration/Course Selection

Boulder High School uses an automated online system called Infinite Campus to do course selection.
This page is intended to guide you through the steps of selecting courses using Infinite Campus.

How to obtain an Infinite Campus password

Students are given an Infinite Campus username and password when they enroll.

If you are an incoming 9th grader from a BVSD Middle School and already have a password:
• Your password will work with Boulder High.

If you are new to the Boulder Valley School District and have never received a password:
• You will need to complete a Course Request Worksheet pdf and drop it by the BHS Counseling Office or mail it to us.

If you cannot remember your password or if your account has become disabled:
• See Mrs. Goodman in the Counseling Office.

Click on registration in the user outline.

Step 2: Search for courses

Required Courses appear in the Required Course Section.
To search for a course you want to request, click Course Search from the navigation bar.
Enter a Course Name or Course Number and click Go.
- For Course Name: You must either enter the course name exactly or use a word that is in the course name (i.e. algebra, lit, lang, science, physical).
- Many find it easiest to leave the course name blank and simply enter the course number. Course numbers can be found in the Course Descriptions Booklet .
- IMPORTANT NOTE: For any year-long course you must request each semester seperately. This is done by adding an "A" then a "B" after the course number (i.e. for Freshman Language arts you need to request L08A and L08B).
Results will be listed on the right.

Step 3: Selecting your courses:

To add a course, click on the course name.
A course description as well as options to request this course will appear.

Once a you have added the maximum amount of units, all additional course requests automatically become alternate courses.
