The BU Admissions process and related Web Accounts
Please note that there is a different admissions process for undergraduate and graduate school applicants. You should become familiar with the information related to Web Accounts and the admissions process outlined in KB article KB0010970 titled “Web Accounts – Application for Admission – Setup and Common Problems” or search on key words such as “Web Accounts” or “Admission”.

While the KB article and TechWeb page should be reviewed, the key difference in process is as follows:
U: Undergraduate applicants to Boston University should begin the process for Undergraduate Admissions outlined at www.bu.edu/apply. As part of that process, undergraduates who apply to Boston University using the Common Application will receive an e-mail with instructions for creating a BU Web Account. Once they have a BU Web Account, they will be able to use it to check the status of their application credentials and their admissions decision through the Applicant Link. If they have questions about their application or the BU Web Account, they should contact Undergraduate Admissions.
G: Graduate Applicants should begin their online application on the website of the school to which they are applying. During the application process, they will be prompted to create a BU Web Account. If they have questions about the application or the BU Web Account, they should contact the admissions office of the corresponding graduate school. Also note: Graduate applicants should take care to click on “New client” when applying for a Web Account. Specific questions about the actual application should be directed to the relevant graduate admissions department.
