Logging In<\/h3>\n

Logging in with BU Google<\/h3>

\nOnce you have a BU Google account<\/a>, you can log into BU’s Lucidchart<\/a> in one of three\u00a0ways:<\/p>\n

1. Go to the Lucidchart sign-in page<\/a>, click\u00a0the Google button, choose your BU Google account and enter your BUID and Kerberos password.<\/p>\n

2. From within your BU Google Apps account,\u00a0click the 3×3 app launcher icon (shown below), then click \u201cmore\u201d and select Lucidchart. Note that you must be within another Google app such as Google Drive for Lucidchart to appear on this list; Lucidchart\u00a0will not appear from a Google search page, even though the 3×3 app launcher is there.<\/p>\n
