Schedule Your Portrait

Your Own Yearbook

Starting this year, BU students are offered the opportunity to create their own individualized yearbook. We will create the official yearbook, filled with a variety of photos of student life as well as senior portraits. We will notify you when the BU book is available on this site and you will be able to add your own photos and create a one-of-a-kind yearbook. You will be able to buy your own book, our book, or any combination of the two. Start saving those photos and we’ll let you know when you can add them to your yearbook.

Parents, finally there’s a reason to get out those baby pictures you’ve been saving. Parents can create their own version of a BU yearbook or work with their sons or daughters to build a book with content for all to remember.

Customize Your Book

We are working hard to take photographs and design BU’s official yearbook. You will be able to customize the official yearbook or create your own in early spring, so don’t forget to visit this website again when we notify you that the yearbook is ready for your personal touch. In the meantime, start saving those photos so that you have them ready to add to your one-of-a-kind yearbook. Don’t worry — it’ll be easy and you’ll love the final product.

How It Works Video Tour

BU’s beloved mascot is busy working on a video starring — who else — Rhett himself. He will show you how to create a one-of-a-kind yearbook, so come back soon. If Rhett can do it, you can too!

FAQs

How do I get started?

Watch Rhett do it. There is also a step-by-step video on the publishing site that will answer all your questions. The yearbook publishing software is extremely friendly featuring drag-n-drop, and simple clicks.

Can I edit the official BU yearbook pages?

You cannot change the official BU yearbook section, but you can customize the existing yearbook by adding your own pages.

What is the best resolution for my photos?

If the photo looks crisp and clear on your screen it will look great in your book. Make sure to enlarge the photo on your screen to the size you will be using in the yearbook to preview the quality.

What image formats are supported?

JPG format. You can import your Facebook photos!

Will the printed images match those on my screen?

Color reproduction can be affected slightly by the user’s monitor settings, quality of the photo, camera or scanner settings. Generally, printed images match your screen very closely.

Can I fix my images in the book program?

In the book publishing program you can crop and format the image. However, color corrections should be made prior to importing the image.

When will I get my book?

Take your time customizing your yearbook. Books will be shipped within 5-10 business days of placing your completed order.

How many pages will my book be and how much will it book cost?

The official BU yearbook will be approximately 150 pages and cost $80. You can then add up to 25 additional pages at approximately $1 per page.
