Step 4: Introduction to Your Schedule Builder

Now that you’ve gotten your course recommendations from the First Year Survey in Step 3 (check your BU email!), you should look at available courses and arrange your schedule in myBU Student Portal.

Boston University students register online through MyBU Student Portal. The portal features Schedule Builder and Shopping Cart, online tools that allow you to arrange a schedule of courses and their times before actually reserving a seat by registering. This means that nothing in the Schedule Builder or Shopping Cart is permanent until you actually hit “enroll” to register. Even after you register, you can still change things around so don’t be nervous! You can’t make any mistakes we can’t fix.

Looking for a registration walkthrough? Please watch the registration video below! Please note that this video was created using a standard first-year schedule — depending on your advanced credits, you may be registering for alternative courses. Please use the results of your First-Year Survey as a guide.

Only students with last names starting with L–Z should register for ES110 in the fall semester. Students with last names starting with A–K will take the course in the spring semester.
