25Live Pro Release
CollegeNET, the service provider for our scheduling software 25Live, is pleased to announce a new and improved version of the platform, branded as 25Live Pro. This updated 25Live application will be the new home for all new advanced scheduling functionality in the future.
What does this mean for Boston University?
While 25Live Pro’s functional content largely mimics that of our current 25Live platform, 25Live Pro will introduce several navigation changes related to enhancing user experience. The migration to 25Live Pro is comparable to the release of a new operating system (e.g. Windows 9 to Windows 10, or iOS 11 to iOS 12).
What changes might I expect to see?
Key improvements include:
- Improved look and feel
- Simplified, consolidated navigation
- A unified master search tool
When will the upgrade take effect?
BU will activate 25Live Pro on Monday, July 1. The current 25Live platform will remain accessible until October 1. As 25Live Pro and our current 25Live draw from the same data sources, any change made in one system will carry to the other during this transitional period. After October 1, you will only be able to access 25Live Pro, so be sure to use the next 3 months to get acclimated to the new system.
How will I access 25Live Pro?
Boston University’s 25Live Pro will be accessible via the new web address of https://25live.collegenet.com/pro/bu. Note the addition of “pro” to the former web address. Bookmark this link and plan to use Pro as of July 1.
Will training or support be provided on how to navigate 25Live Pro?
