For Students

Get Started

Blackboard Learn is available to anyone with a BU login name and Kerberos password at learn.bu.edu (for on-campus students), cader.bu.edu CADER and The Network at BUSSW online learners), onlinecampus.bu.edu (online Distance Education students), or through your course listings on Student Link.  Online MBA students should login using at learn.bu.edu.  Questrom students should login at questromtools.bu.edu to access Sakai.

Not every course at BU will have a site, so be sure to check with your instructor if you do not see your course site listed in the My Courses section. All students on the official roster will be automatically given access to their course site the day after they have registered.

If you are unable to access your course site, please contact your instructor for access or information on availability.
