No more Early Bird Renewal!
Fingers crossed for shorter lines during move-in this year! Students will no longer be required to show their ID to “renew” their ACS account when they come to campus OR to change their password. The account that they set up in the spring/summer through the Early Bird program is the account that they will get to keep -as is. They don’t need to do anything else. Yay Linda!
That said, there might still be people who come in either a) because they don’t know about the change or b) because they are BU student employees (who do need to show the ID in order to get their on-line pay stubs). So don’t turn away anyone who comes in, but the vast majority probably won’t.
Over the next few weeks, Doc/Tools will be working to eradicate mention of Early Bird *Renewal* from the BU Web. (For now, “Early Bird” is still a name used to describe the concept of getting an account early – that might change next year.)
