Visit BU MyApps

BU MyApps provides centralized, secure access to Boston University–licensed software for students, faculty, and staff—on campus or from personal devices. It simplifies finding and using BU software while providing information about each application, including availability and access options.

Benefits

BU MyApps makes it easier to find and use BU-provided software in one place. Users can securely access applications from campus or personal devices, work remotely when supported, and save time by avoiding manual installation or setup. Application-specific information—such as availability, access options, and usage details—is provided to help users understand and use each tool effectively. Some applications, particularly those on BU Common, do not save data between sessions, so files should be stored in BU-approved locations if you plan to continue work on a different device.

Key Features

  • Centralized access: Find and open BU-provided applications from one location.
  • Flexible access: Use apps through a web browser or remotely when supported.
  • Optional local installation: Download and install certain applications on your computer when available.
  • Application details: View availability, access options, and usage information for each app.
  • Device flexibility: Work from personal or non-BU devices, with session-based limitations noted for some applications.

Requirements

Requirements vary by product. Most titles require signing in with your BU credentials (Kerberos); check each product page for any additional access details.
