First Steps
Student Orientation

Before you begin your first Boston University Online course, you’ll need to complete a brief orientation that will introduce you to the online learning environment and verify that your computer is configured properly. This is an important step—we want to make sure you're familiar with the look, feel, and requirements of your course before you dive in and begin studying.

After being accepted into an online program, you will be contacted by a member of the Student Services team with information on how to register for Student Orientation.
