CS accounts are available to all students who are taking CS classes through the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, as well as students enrolled in an undergraduate major or minor or graduate degree program with the Department of Computer Science.
User accounts for eligible students are activated automatically when enrolling in a degree program, or shortly before the start of a semester in which the student is taking a CS class. Students will receive a notification email when their CS account has been activated.
CS course accounts will expire automatically after the end of the semester they were created for. Other CS accounts are periodically reviewed for expiration, and will expire following graduation or withdrawal from the degree program. A notification email will be sent approximately one week before accounts are expired.
If you do not have a CS user account but believe you are eligible based on your course or degree enrollment status, or if you have any other questions about CS accounts, please email CS IT at support@cs.bu.edu for assistance.
