All members of the Boston University community are eligible for an ACS account.

The University Registrar and the Office of Personnel define and determine the members of the community. Due to resource and budget constraints, academic software licensing agreements, and the size of the ACS community, individuals who are members of organizations merely affiliated with BU cannot be provided with accounts.

Your account expires when you leave the University. For more information, please see Account Expiration.

Creating an Account

Individual accounts for BU students, faculty, and staff are processed online. You'll be given detailed instructions as you proceed through the application. Be sure to have your BU ID number on hand. Your BU ID number can be found on your BU ID.

Once you have completed the online application, you must present your current BU ID at Information Technology's Input/Output Services window in the basement of 111 Cummington Street. Your account will normally be available within twelve hours.

Start the online application.
