Registration
Summer registration opens at 7am on Thursday, February 20, 2020.
Compliance
In order to register for the Summer semester, you must be in compliance with all University policies, including meeting all immunization requirements, settling your student account, acknowledging the Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Law, updating a local address, and having a current BU Alert number on record. To check your compliance status, click the purple “Personal” tab, and then select “Compliance Status.”
Failing to update a BU Alert number and local address every semester is the most common issue that keeps you out of compliance.

The Schedule
The Summer schedule is available via the Summer Term website and the Student Link. The Summer PDF is the most up to date place to find schedule information.
Every effort is made to keep these schedules accurate in the event of changes due to a switch in staffing, room, or cancellation due to low enrollment. If you sign up for a class that is ultimately cancelled, you will be notified via your BU email account.

Dropping a Course in the Summer
Students may withdraw from a course in either summer session using the Student Link prior to the first day of the summer session. If the drop is processed prior to the first day of either term, full tuition and fees will be credited or refunded. If the drop is processed on or after the first day of either summer session and before the published drop date, the student is responsible for the registration fee only. If the drop is processed after the date published by the MBA Center, the student is responsible for the full tuition and fees and will receive a ‘W’ for the course. Unlike the Fall and Spring semesters, students can drop all of their summer session courses using the Student Link’s WebReg.
