BU Alert

Boston University has established the BU Alert notification system for the purpose of communicating with the campus community for weather closures, utility outages, emergencies, or situations requiring the response or attention of the University community. The intent of this system is to provide guidance and information on how individuals can secure themselves and make decisions for their own safety.
