Step 1: Get Ready to Register

Register for Orientation

Before you begin at Boston University this fall, your first step is to register for and attend an Orientation session.  BU as a whole has six sessions this summer and Questrom is hosting First Years for all six of the sessions.  All sessions will be held in person on the Charles River Campus.  Choose the session and time frame that best accommodates your schedule and that of your family and others who may wish to participate.

At Orientation, you will learn about Boston University – the curriculum and important policies, and the many co-curricular clubs, sports, activities, and resources on campus.  You will meet other Questrom School of Business First Years and many members of the Boston University community.  You’ll also meet your advisors in the Undergraduate Development Center.

Dates of Summer Orientation 2024:

    • Session 1: June 5 – 6
    • Session 2: June 12 – 13
    • Session 3: June 20 – 21
