Office of the University Registrar
The Office of the
University Registrar maintains student records, issues transcripts,
verifies attendance, issues diplomas and non-dining I.D. cards, produces
the class schedule, supervises registration and Veterans Affairs,
and records grades. Every student is required to register for the
classes they are supposed to take before the scheduled deadline.
To register, students should select their classes from the Class
Schedule and register according to instructions provided by their
School or College. Most continuing students are eligible to use
TelReg and WebReg to register for their semester classes. Students
should check with the advising office in their School for more information
on the School's requirements. Incoming freshmen or first time students
are ineligible to use TelReg and WebReg and must follow the walk
in or mail in registration procedure using a Registration Form,
as instructed by their School. Students should contact their School
or College for further information.

Student Link
The Student Link provides direct access to public and personal
academic, financial and institutional data maintained in the University's
central computer system. To access information on The Link, you
need a BU login name and a Kerberos password. These are the same
pieces of information used to protect your account on ACS (Academic
Computing System), your Boston University e-mail, your entry in
Boston University's electronic directory, and a growing number of
computing services.
You create a BU login name and Kerberos password when you apply
online for an ACS account. You will need your BU ID number, so have
your Terrier Card on hand.
If you have questions or problems creating your BU login name or
choosing a Kerberos password, please see an IT Help Desk consultant
at the Front Office of Information Technology at 111 Cummington
Street.
