Go to the main Bulletin page, and then click on the blue button that says Bulletin Archives. Then find your school or college (or the Hub if you have a Hub-related question), hover over the &#8220;select year&#8221; button, and select the year you entered BU.

As you look down the main page of the Bulletin, you will see that each school or college has its own Bulletin. The &#8220;Policies&#8221; link in the school Bulletin will take you to additional policies that apply only within that school.<\/li>\n<li>The Bulletin has an Addendum every year that features new programs\u2014and changes to programs\u2014that receive approval after the academic year Bulletin is published.
