Starting this semester, registration will begin on early Friday mornings instead of Sundays. By falling on a normal business day, we believe this change will significantly improve the registration experience by providing students with real-time support, fewer time conflicts*, and additional weekend flexibility.

*Students with class conflicts during their assigned registration time will be adjusted.

Students are not permitted to register before the assigned start dates and times listed for each semester; however, they are strongly encouraged to use the MyBU Student class planning tools in advance.

Holding a seat in a class for which you do not intend to enroll is prohibited.


The registration start date is based on your academic level in Spring 2026.  The time is Eastern Time in the United States.
