New Students: A Step-By-Step Guide to Registration

There are two ways to register for courses:

• Register online

• Register using a paper form

To register using a paper form, please follow the instructions below.

1. Choose your courses

   The Boston University Course Schedule lists the courses that are available for the current or upcoming semester. You can also request a printed Metropolitan College schedule for the current semester by calling 617-353-6000.

   Please note that some courses require stamped approval. To obtain stamped approval, please contact Metropolitan College at 617-353-3000 for instructions.

2. Fill out your registration form

   Download the registration form or pick one up at 755 Commonwealth Avenue, Room 102. You can also request the form by calling 617-353-6000.

   Note: If you wish to register for a course that is already full, you must obtain the instructor’s permission and signature on the Add/Drop Form.

3. Submit your registration form

   Mail, fax, or deliver completed registration forms to:

   Boston University Office of the University Registrar
   881 Commonwealth Avenue, 2nd Floor
   Boston, MA 02215

   Phone: 617-353-3612

4. Confirm your schedule

   New students and nondegree students will receive confirmation of their courses in the mail.

   Once you have registered for your courses you may access or change your schedule online using the Student Link. The Student Link is a fast and easy way to access and modify your student information. To access the Student Link, you need a BU email address and Kerberos password.

5. Settle your account

   If you have not received an invoice for the Spring 2012 semester by January 16, 2012, or are completing registration after this date, you may request an invoice by contacting Student Accounting Services at 617-353-2264.

   If you have a BU email address and Kerberos password, you can also view your student account on the Student Link.

   Note: Payment is due by the payment deadline without regard to receipt of an invoice. The last day to settle your account for Spring 2012 courses is January 31, 2012. Late fees will be assessed beginning on this date. Find out more about tuition and fees.
