Undeclared Students

In order to register for classes, students who have not yet declared their majors must meet with an advisor to discuss your course selection and academic program. You will be unable to register officially until you have met with an academic advisor and received his or her signature on your early registration form. Your advisor’s signature will enable us to release your Academic Advising Code (AAC). This code will allow you access to the university telephone and web registration system so that you may register by phone or on the web.

You should choose your faculty advisor and schedule your advising appointment as soon as possible. Appointments are made in the CAS Academic Advising Center, Room 105 (617-353-2400).

Use the Faculty Advisor Biographies to help you choose an advisor. You should download the Early Registration Form and carefully follow the registration instructions for making and preparing for your faculty advising appointment.

The earlier you make your appointment, the better your chances of securing your registration code prior to the beginning of University-wide registration.  Should you wait until after the early registration advising period to make an appointment with an advisor, you may be unable to register until after the first week of registration.

If you do not have an Undergraduate Bulletin, you may pick one up at the Office of the University Registrar, 881 Commonwealth Avenue (2nd floor), or you may access this information on Boston University’s Student Link, where you will also find a schedule of classes. The Bulletin lists and describes undergraduate courses offered at Boston University and will assist you in selecting your courses for the upcoming semester.

Please call 617-353-2400 or stop by the CAS Academic Advising Center, Room 105, to make your advising appointment as soon as possible.
