Requirements for registration

BU has several requirements in place that students must fulfill. You can check your Compliance Status by going to the “Personal” tab on the Student Link. If you are not compliant, a hold may be placed on your registration until the requirement is fulfilled.

Requirements related to summer enrollment include:

BU Alert phone number

This number is used to notify you of a University-wide emergency. You can update your Alert Number on the Student Link, “Personal” tab, under the “Address and Phone” option.

Financial obligation

Students are required to settle their Student Account by the payment deadlines set for each academic term. A hold will be placed on accounts that are not settled, which will prevent future registration activity until the payment is made.

Immunization

Massachusetts law requires all full-time students and all international students to be immunized against a number of diseases in order to attend the University. Students must obtain these immunizations to remain in compliance.

Local address

In order to comply with the safety regulations of the City of Boston, students must provide a current local address. You can view and update your local address on the Student Link, “Personal” tab, “Address and Phone” option.

Sexual misconduct prevention training & alcohol education

All BU students are required to complete online training modules as part of our commitment to student wellbeing and a healthy campus community.

• Incoming undergraduates are required to complete two trainings: one about sexual misconduct prevention and the other related to alcohol education.
• Incoming graduate students and visiting summer students are required to complete the graduate sexual misconduct prevention training.
• Returning BU students, including those returning to Summer Term, are required to complete a follow-up sexual misconduct prevention training.
• High school students are not required to complete training modules.

Students registered for Summer Term courses will receive an email with instructions for completing their required training(s) in early May.

If you are a visiting student who enrolled in BU Summer Term courses in the past, you will be marked non-compliant in the system and prevented from registering for Summer Term 2022 if you have not completed your required training(s). To see which training(s) you’re required to complete, please go to the Compliance Status page on the “Personal” tab on the Student Link.
